Ignore how funny looking I am. I GRADUATED! BA in Asian Languages and Literature. Done.
And then we mad dashed to the apartment as the snow started falling for the third snow storm in a week, packed everything I could, and ran head on into this blizzard. Saw 17 abandoned cars on I-80 between Iowa City and Des Moines.

A few photos~

Date: 2008-12-21 06:58 pm (UTC)Me either. I left the driving up to my parents. My mother, who was the one in that white car, was freaking out the entire trip.

Date: 2008-12-21 07:01 pm (UTC)Yeah, it was my little sibling taking the photo. He doesn't know how to pose no matter how much warning he has. -_-; A trait I think I inherited.

Date: 2008-12-21 09:48 pm (UTC)I'm glad we were driving away from that storm. Of course, we had different troubles, but at least they weren't snow-related.

Date: 2008-12-21 10:07 pm (UTC)Oh? Other crazy weather? Or did the family crazy start early this year?
no subject
Date: 2008-12-21 10:20 pm (UTC)At least it's warm here.
no subject
Date: 2008-12-22 05:28 am (UTC)Warm... Y_Y I took the fucking freezing weather with me to KC. It was 50 degrees until I showed up. Now? 6. *cries* You are a lucky, lucky girl.
no subject
Date: 2008-12-22 06:11 am (UTC)The weather is my only (totally awesome) ally here. I shall bask in it for people freezing everywhere else.

Date: 2008-12-22 06:24 am (UTC)Oh! Oh! I came home to your package. 8D LOVE! OMG. I'm sorting the albums into my main collection now. Together with the Bowie discography torrent I'm getting, this will make my collection EPIC and it shall RULE THE WORLD! \:D/ <3 <3 <3 *dances around the room* Thank you thank you thank you!

no subject
Date: 2008-12-22 05:12 pm (UTC)Yeah, it was. ;-; We thought it was just going to be snow flurries after the last ice storm but then we got on the road and... D: But, we lived. >_> It was quite pretty though...

Date: 2008-12-22 09:46 am (UTC)SNOW?! Jealous! I think we'll have yet another wet/black Christmas coming up...
no subject
Date: 2008-12-22 05:08 pm (UTC)*laugh* Half the country is getting a white Christmas this year. Three cheers for global warming's effect on storms. 8D What is a black Christmas? Black clouds?
no subject
Date: 2008-12-22 07:21 pm (UTC)'Musta joulu', which literally means 'black Christmas', is what we tend to use as a synonym for snowless Christmas. Hence, 'black x-mas' = no snow. :( The past few winters have been nothing like the ones in my childhood days. How I miss the early 90's!
Any plans for the holiday season?
no subject
Date: 2008-12-22 07:31 pm (UTC)Aw~ I don't think a snowless christmas is that bad a thing. 0_< I'd love for it to be over 40 degrees here, for instance....
Me? Oh, my family is going out of town without me so I'm going to unpack my things from my apartment and pet sit while watching every marathon I can think of. ^_______^ You?
