A Day to Remember!

Today was a remarkable day in my life, one to remember. I was in a rush this morning, only having 10 minutes to get ready and leave for work. I got quite a shock when I opened the door and found that the whole world turned white. For a moment I thought that it was massive amounts of frost...but then it hit me...it was snow!

Why am I making such a big deal about something as trivial as snow? Well it is due to the fact that this is the first time in my life that I actually came close to snow. Growing up in the warm and sunny country of South Africa meant that I didn't really had a chance to experience snow. Don't get me wrong, it does snow in South Africa, but only in certain regions and mainly in the mountains.

The first thing I did was grab a whole hand full of snow and realized that it isn't as cold as I would expect it to be. I can now also understand why people normally say that it is too cold for it too snow, since it wasn't that cold outside. It was quite a nice feeling. The snow felt like a "fluffy" material. Squeeze it a bit and you have a ball of ice in your hands.

I got such an excitement from experiencing snow for the first time in my life. I felt like a child on Christmas day.

But wait the day gets even better.

Today was also my probation review at Criterion and I am now a permanent employee for EA. Me and Gerrry can now finally move to Guildford and live on our own. I am really excited! I have wanted to move out of the current house share (me and Gerrry are sharing a house with 4 other people) for a long time.
