Solid H20

Things are looking up these days. That is mostly down to one thing and one thing only, it is getting warmer. It might very well just be a false alarm, it is after all just the beginning of February, but I like to think the worst is over now. It all happened quite fast though. In fact, just last week it had been around -10 to -15 degrees Celsius for a while. The lake outside my dorm was frozen, and during that extra cold week me and two of my friends ventured out on it. No chance of the ice breaking under us, the lake was frozen solid. One could probably have driven a car over it, had one been so inclined.

This week though, it has been around 1-3 degrees Celsius, and the ice on the lake is wearing away slowly but surely. Not exactly the time to go out on it now, that's for sure.
In other news, I am now a owner of a tablet. Felt it was time to cash in on one, as it helps a lot in my studies. Imagine, instead of having to drag 15kg worth of medical books, I can just carry that tablet. This will make travelling A LOT easier. Plus, I guess it is the thing to have nowadays, and I shouldn't be left behind by the times. Took me quite a while to get that tablet though, but through some hassles it finally arrived. I think both me and the receptionist lady I had been constantly bugging were equally happy that my parcel had finally arrived.
