 It was raining heavily that day...And I was sitting at my desk, doing work... As I turned to look out of the window, I thought I saw small white specks flying past.. I stood up and wondered which inconsiderate neighbour was tearing up paper and throwing the scraps down. Then I stared... And I stared for like 15 minutes, I stood in front of my window and stared... "is that SNOW i see?" I talked to myself.. rationalised that it's too early to have snowfall anyway... Maybe I was imagining things... or maybe it's just the rain... In the midst of my looking out of the window, Diviya called me and screamed loudly into the phone that she saw SNOW!!! It was so exhilarating!!! I went downstairs to look for Geraldine and we both stood out in the chilly cold to experience our first snowfall! It was so beautiful :) Temperature's falling to almost 0 degrees now.. It's scary to think of how winter will strike soon... SPEAKING OF STRIKE... i know it's very dramatic But there is like a very very very high chance that a strike that will take place in York University. The headlines of today's newspaper screams "York Teaching Assistant Strike grow more likely".... And the conflict between the teaching assistants is escalating.... The thing is, apparently, the university will force a lockout if the agreement between them isn't reached by Nov 2... And the school administrationa actually announced that they are not likely to backdown whilst the teaching assistants said they're prepared to strike (with 85% of them actually casting a b ballot in support of the strike mandate)... Classes will be suspended if that strike occurs... And I really don't want to think of what is going to happen to us exchange students when that happens... But Nov 2 is nearing soon... *shudders*
