Knitting, Bus Rides, and Snow

So I haven't been writing in here for a few days. That's due to the whole commotion of myself making the trip to the bus station, the ride back to my boyfriend's house, and the two days of settling into his place before I go back to school.

The bus trip here was a long and boring one (as usual) and I don't think I'm going to get into it. However, I will mention that I did ride with a woman on one leg of the trip, and she was really talkative. We talked about all sorts of things, and I suppose we could say we learned a lot about each other's lives. I know I'll never see that woman again, so the stories we told each other will stay a secret. It's really fascinating what you can learn from a person just by sitting next to them on a bus. Strangers that will never meet again can confide in the other, because they know they will part their ways, and probably never see each other again.

I've been learning how to knit in the past couple days. Just the simple kind of knitting I suppose. My first knitting project, which won't probably end up looking the greatest, will be a scarf. Now that winter's finally here, maybe I will be able to knit one before it's over!

I say winter is finally here because there was an ice storm here yesterday. Said ice storm prevented me from going on an pretty important appointment. However, you really can't control the weather, so I rescheduled. But that's nothing compared to what happened today. A legit snowstorm hit this morning and continued all day—at least 10 inches of snow. There will probably be literally a foot or more waiting for us tomorrow morning. We're lucky the power didn't go out—lots of other places up here did get power outages. I guess I won't be complaining about no snow to make snowmen anymore!
