More homework, in-class quiz' and almost monthly exams is some of the different tools of education that is used here in the US. Now, sitting sipping my coffee, I've just finished today's first test, a map quiz, before I am going to have two exams later today. Right now it feels like I'm back in high school, where the teachers would be able to track my progress in the different classes. Weird, considering I'm now used to being responsible for my own education and my own efforts in the subjects I'm studying. But maybe this is better.
So over to something different.
I've been in Fargo for over a month now, and this city and it's inhabitants should be used to this winter wonderland weather that is covering everything. But apparently not. People are complaining about the weather and the cold, when it's been snowing people seem to keep themselves locked inside their house, because they won't be able to move their care from the parking-lot. How can this be? I'm used to the winter and all of it's lovely companions, as snow, ice and degrees below 0 celsius. Back home it's usually not a big problem to get your car out of the parking lot, even though it's been snowing. So is it the snow clearing that isn't good enough here or maybe, as I suspect, is it the tires that isn't good enough for the heavy packed snow that tends to pack itself around the tires.
Zee ya!
