10 minutes

-
Today has been a whole lot of nothing. More people have moved in but it has still been pretty quiet.

Now you may be wondering why this is titled 10 minutes. Firstly because almost everything on campus is 10 minutes away from where I am living and secondly I learned that you can get frostbite in around 10 minutes right now.
I learned this from a great email from Res Life

Dear Students,

Welcome back! We are excited to have you back on campus. Unfortunately, the weather is quite chilly.

If you can stay inside, please do so! If not, please take appropriate precautions.

If you decide to venture out of your residence hall or apartment, please be sure to bundle up! According to weather.com and other local forecasts, our area has a wind chill advisory until 6:00 PM. As of right now, the air temperature is 3 degrees, but feels as though it is -16 degrees.

Here is more information, again, from weather.com: 

A wind chill warning means that combination of very cold air and wind will create dangerously low wind chill values. The dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes. Frostbite can occur quickly and even hypothermia or death if precautions are not taken.

Please be sure to wear clothes suitable for the weather.

The Office of Residential Life is open today until 4:30 PM. Please contact us if you need anything.

Stay warm,

Ann Marie Przywara
Office of Residential Life

Other news I picked up some of my text books. I applied for the honors forum here at Skidmore and am running for the senate of SGA!
Any way I hope you are all staying nice and warm!

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

-
Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
