Snow

Today, December 31, had the first real snowfall I have seen since I've been in Beijing. I woke up, looked out the open door to the balcony (open courtesy of the evil girl who lives down the hallway and apparently loves to make it easy for everyone to get sick by converting our floor into a camping experience) and saw the snow coming down! I got my camera, walked onto the balcony, and took a video of the snow. There isn't very much, and there probably will not be in the coming weeks, but it's good for my sense of time to have snow finally. That just progressed the calendar in my head to where it should be.

So, in that case, Happy New Year!
