  • Buzz…. Buzz…. Buzz….

    0

    Do you know the sound a phone makes when it’s on vibrate? It goes, “buzz, buzz, buzz…”. Right now, there’s a phone on the floor above me which has been buzzing for about an hour. Non-stop.

    Insanity approaches.

    One thing about Cambridge; the weather is unpredictable.

    Wednesday, February 10, 2010. I leave the house to go to school.

    Note the snow (click to enlarge)

    10 seconds later, I turn the corner.

    Snowfall; it's pretty.

    Then

    THE SNOW POURED DOWN
    IMAGINE A RAINSTORM
    BUT ALL THE RAIN TURNED INTO SNOW ON THE WAY DOWN
    AND THEN IT HITS YOU IN THE FACE

    I had to take out my umbrella and shield myself. Two minutes have passed since the last photo.

    This is the same road as the previous picture, but further in front.

    Looking back.

    So I walk, umbrella shielding me, for 10 minutes until I reach the Abbey College building on Station Road. I ask the receptionist for an envelope addressed to me, but apparently it hasn’t arrived.* So I leave the building and head to Regent’s Terrace, where my first class is.

    Well that was fast.

    *shrug*

    Cambridge, where snow can come and go in 15 minutes.

    *The envelope was there, it turns out the receptionist filed it wrongly. I collected it about 4 hours later.

  • Boiling Water

    So I put in a liter of water into the electric kettle to boil.

    Then I forgot to close the cover.

    After a while, the water boiled.

    Then it kept boiling. I didn’t notice.

    Then it continued to boil. Strange.

    Then I looked back :O ‘I forgot to close the cover!’

    I quickly turned it off.

    Then I noticed all the steam condensed above the kettle. Everywhere above it on the shelves.

    And it’s all wet. About half a liter of water condensed around my kitchen T.T

    Time to wipe stuff I guess.
