Winter Wonderland

Yesterday was an ordinary gloomy day. It was just one of those days where you don't really want to be outside. It was cold, the wind was bitter, the trees hung lifeless and the smell of car exhaust was thick in the air.

But to make matters worst, the exam of exams was yesterday. After having hunkered down and having logged 16 hours of the most focused study ever I actually walked into the room with a smile.

I walked out with a much bigger smile, a grin even.

The day passed quickly after that highlight, the snow started but the rain that was supposed to follow never came. It snowed.. and snowed... And snowed.

I woke up this morning to the most beautiful sight. The streets shimmering, the sky a crystal blue, the trees a lively white, everything else mirrored with ice. The driving wind had snow coated everything in sight. My building, the cars, the trees, the powerlines, the poles, everything. What a great start to what I hope will be a great break.

It was just the kind of day that reminded me why winter was the season that contested summer for being my favorite. It was a beautiful day.
