Why the snow? I was walking back from the field house. This was one day when it suddenly snowed a lot but it wasn't too cold. I was thinking, oh, it looks so pretty. Two days later it was two thousand degrees below zero wind chill. But this was just a perfect moment. The unexpectedness of the winter more than just the fact that it's cold. You never know what it's going to be like. I live in the Heights and I just put my hand on the window; that's how I tell. The previous day is not really a good indicator.

And the treadmill? It's a big stress-buster for me, personally. And it's a symbol of Colby culture. The good thing about Colby is you don't have to be an athlete to stay in shape. People do enough. Ideally, I'd like to go four times a week. During the semester I'm lucky if I can make it twice, but it's still worth it. After twenty minutes, I feel significantly better.
