First Snow of the Season

Friday, October 30 2009
I had a really though day today. Remember that I said that I wanted to study later for my physiology class? I ended up studying it really late. I was almost unable to finish all the material that I had to study for the class. But thanks to the extra time I had from breaks I managed to finish the materials that I had to study and thank God that I was able to scrape an excellent mark.
Today the first class of the day was Russian language class. I had a wonderful surprise by watching the snow fall when I step down the bus. But the beautiful scene lasted for only a second. Before I knew it, the snow had stopped falling. However, I could say that this is the first snow of the season and winter is coming soon.
As I said, the first class was Russian language class. As I am studying overseas, there is without doubt that I have to pay for tuition fees. As the department of Russian Language was having their renovation, the amount of free classrooms were limited and there was furniture all around the place. I have no idea what the workers that are renovating the place doing as they are paid to renovate the department but we as students need to help them to move the furniture from 1 place to another during classes. Isn’t that really funny.
As classes started pretty late today, our lessons ended also pretty late, around 6pm. I know that this isn’t a weird phenomenon in countries that have four seasons. However, since I grew up in a tropical country the sky doesn’t turn dark till it is around 8 or 9pm. It is only autumn now but around 5.30pm the sky is almost pitch black.
I manage to take a photo of myself in the bus station today after class and it was around 6pm. It was freezing when I was standing out in the open waiting for the bus to get myself home. When I pass, what me and all my friends call the temperature building, I saw the temperature indicated was +0.5 degree Celsius.
Since it was quite cold outside and I haven’t been to the washroom for quite sometime. I immediately felt the urge to go to the toilet after standing out in the cold for a while. Lucky me my friend told me not to think of it and help me to distract myself from thinking about the urge to urinate. Thanks to her, I manage to reach home safely without my pants getting wet and add more coldness to my already frozen legs.
The thought of tomorrow is Saturday makes me shiver in delight as it will be a weekend and I can spend time to rest and look forward to the volleyball training that will be held tomorrow night. While I am writing this, I can hear my fellow housemates doing some volleyball training themselves to kill time and to improve their skills. Listening to their laughter and the sound of the ball upon contact of their hands makes me feel like playing some of it myself. Though I have already took my bath. I think that’s all for today. I’ll write tomorrow whether or not I played volleyball with my friends.
