Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow ...

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ...


Apparently it doesn't usually snow in Cambridge. Last year it snowed in January and everybody freaked out.
Well, 2008, you don't got nothin on 2009. Snow in December! Perfectly during the 2 days I was back in town between Eurotrips.

Christmas Formals

Cambridge got into the Christmas spirit during its last week, even though term ended Dec. 4 (yeah. ridiculous.) ... so, formals left and right with holiday themes.

= GLORIOUS


Besides our very own Christmas bash, King's and iCUSU (International Cambridge University Student Union) had Christmas formals during the last week of term.
