So I hear that it’s snowing again back home at the parents’. As mentioned in my last post, I’ll be going home next weekend, possibly for as long as two whole weeks, which I’m really looking forward to. I’m afraid the snow might be gone by then. And of course my parents and grandmothers and EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD is bitching about snow like it’s not the MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER, and the only person that actually loves snow – that would be me – is in the only place where it never hardly ever snows. That just ain’t right.

Anyway. I’ve got an important paper to finish that is due tomorrow- and all I can say about that, by the way, is: y’all just thank God that you weren’t on Twitter today because I sure spammed that thing with endless whining about how I’m just not getting the paper done, and OMG IMPOSSIBLE, by what curious twist of fate did it not get done even though I was doing other things the entire day? But what I wanted to say is that I’ve only got a minute because now it’s 9pm, and I still haven’t done anything worth speaking of. Welcome to my life. Let me just share something with you real quick:

While I was avoiding to actually get to work, I browsed the website of my university in Sweden and stumbled across a pretty cool subpage dedicated to different webcams of the town! They had pictures and videos and 360 degrees panoramas. And having grown up with Google maps and the likes, I’m obviously obsessed with finding out as much as I can about any location I plan to visit soon, beforehand. So. Webcams are a big part of that. Now. Are you ready for this? Because I don’t think you are; I wasn’t neither. Remember how I told you that the Swedish city is rather smallish but makes up for it by being surrounded by beautiful nature and sitting at Sweden’s largest lake? Well, GUESS WHAT. It also makes up for it by looking absolutely STUNNING (to snow lovers like myself, I should add) in winter, i.e. yesterday!

Okay, I know what you’re thinking: meh. Am I right? But all that white! All that white IS ACTUALLY THE LAKE! THE LAKE! … I KNOW! It’s so cool! (Here’s a tiny picture taken in the summer, for comparison.) I don’t know if this link works for everyone but check out this cool sped up 24-hour video the webcam captured. Is this as beautiful to everyone else, or just me?
