i can barely believe it for classes it seems are actually cancelled tomorrow due to snow. i thought this school never cancells classes. this news is posted on the uva homepage, although until we get an email from the higher-ups i'm not really believing it. i think this is really fortunate though i really needed the extra day to catch up on work and do some uninterrupted reading. i think classes have been getting in the way of my thinking and energy lately, and to stay home would be comforting. tian zhu wo ye? indeed. although i really wish they'd hurry up and send a mail to make it absolutely certain. it is awful outside though. bing tian xue di, is about what it looks like. and attempts to go to dining hall earlier nearly resulted in a twisted ankle from going down one of 4 flight of stairs. the snow isn't the drifty kind, but more like v fine sand being pelted down. i hope food will last. we're not going to be able to get to food and no one's delivering. but i have enough fish for one more curry, and miso soup and apples for the rest of it. well rice and white fungus too of course, although rice needs liao4 to go with it. i shall stay fed. mm.
