Now that's insane
I am furious... No, I am not talking about Superbowl or even Sarah Palin writing cues on her palm. I am talking about the ridiculous amount of snow that is covering DC like a shroud. Whereas Boston and NY are dry, DC is breaking records.

Usually, I am not the kind of guy who makes a fuss about snow and weather in general. But the recent events are indeed unique. It started off when Friday classes were called off. It made sense, and so did the cancellation of our international day, which was supposed to feature me in the Bollywood dance, and a few other key events scheduled for the weekend. But calling off classes on Monday... and then Tuesday!! That is f'ing retarded (Source: Rahm Emanuel) because it was warm and cozy the last two days. Sure, the sidewalks were all snowy and dangerous, but seriously, is that the best excuse you can come up with? With that mentality and given the snow preparedness of DC, I doubt we can open the university even after a week. Don't believe me. Well, let's see. For the moment, the school has been closed for tomorrow also. In GU's defense, it is expected to snow 10-20 inches again tonight. If the classes remained canceled Thursday, it will mark a one week closure because of snow. Not that I hate the makeup classes on weekends, it's just that I do not want to have my maiden visit to China disrupted. Oh, yes! the awesome trip to Beijing and Shanghai is only a few weeks away. Adios amigos.

PS: to put things into perspective, here's a youtube sample
