npr junkies unite!
Last Thursday I was lucky enough to go on a house trip and attend a taping of Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! the NPR news quiz recorded in downtown Chicago. So interesting to put faces to the radio voices I listen to every week! We gleefully roamed the stage after listening to the show, and got to meet all of the weeks participants. Note Roy Blount Jr in the background!

dorm decor
New in the dorm room--a flurry of snowflakes artfully crafted from recycled paper drafts and calculus notes now adorn my walls.

snow!
Today, it snowed substantially for the first time this school year. Campus was beautiful, and I was actually lucky to have my 8 am final (ha) as I got a peek of campus beautifully blanketed by snow, undisturbed and pristine. Everything looked magically wintry! Below are some pictures from my day. Unfortunately, the delightfully fluffy stuff didn't stick around long--it was mostly puddles by 2 pm.

winter chills
I couldn't help but notice how pretty the frozen puddles were as I made my way to one of my favorite places to study for finals week, so I stopped my bike and snapped a photo. This particular one had leaves embedded in it, reminding me of both resin jewelry and fancy ice cubes.
