The weather in Austin this past week has been unpleasant to say the least. Not only has it been very cold, but the wind has been unrelenting--making the walk to class almost unbearable. That is, until today. Very late last night it started snowing in West Campus and while I try not to be a total Texan getting excited about an inch of snow, I can't help but be slightly giddy. The prospect of staying warm inside with movies and soup (this my favorite boxed variety) makes me feel like I'm on holiday, made all the more sweeter by canceled classes.
Here's a few things that warmed up my week:
{pretty new books* waiting to be read}
{finally receiving my sorority pin}
{interviewing artist Amanda Ross-Ho for my journalism class, post to come}
{cooking pesto chicken and risotto with chanterelle mushrooms, shallots, garlic and Parmesan}
by cooking I mean Cole cooked while I diligently stirred the risotto
{seeing the UT campus covered in snow}
*Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (the Penguin Classics cover), and An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin
EDIT:
About an hour after I posted this, the fire sprinkler pipe right outside my apartment burst and my apartment flooded. We got really lucky, it only got to our living room and we moved everything out of the way--its just a major inconvenience on what would otherwise be a very peaceful weekend.
