Dorm Life: Cold is an Understatement.

Alright, friends and family.  Remember how I told you that it's nice and warm here in sunny Sioux City?  I take that back.  As of yesterday, it's officially freezing down here!  Not only does my face turn redder than the Chinese flag every time I walk to the cafeteria, but there's not even a nice blanket of snow on the ground to make it all worth it.  I must say, I'm very disappointed with Iowa right now.
However, the great outdoors is not the worst part of this frost-bitten weather!  Unlike the rest of the rooms in my hall, my room is colder than...well, here's a bullet-pointed list of the things that my room beats in coldness.

My Dorm Room is Colder Than:

• The giant freezer in the basement back at home.
• Santa's workshop during a power outage.
• Narnia under the White Witch's reign.
• Pluto.  (I had to Google that one.  It's pretty cold over there.)
• The Grinch's heart before it grew three sizes that day.

If that doesn't get the point across, let me just say that my room is like an ice box right now.  To quote my roommate, "It will be like sleeping on an ice cube tonight."  Well said, roomie.

While my cold room is a bit of a downer, I have to admit that over all, life is pretty good here in Sioux City!  I've started my classes now, and it's looking like this is going to be a fun semester.  That being said, I think I'm going to go put on some mittens and wrap myself in several layers of blankets now.  :)

Stay tuned!
