In the rain and snow...

Last Saturday's Michigan vs. Northwestern game was my last college home game. After checking the weather forecast, I layered myself with my football shirt, a sweater and a jacket. Unfortunately, my preparation for the rain was not enough. I did not expect the weather to be SO COLD.

The rain was pouring before the game started and by half time, many people had left the stadium. Since it was my last game and we were playing well during the first half (leading by 14-7), I decided to stay. Wei Bing and I each got a cup of hot chocolate and a cup of coffee but I was still shivering after drinking the "supposingly hot" beverage. I was frozen and my hands were numb. I wanted to buy a pair of gloves but they were sold out.

At the end, I decided to get another sweater--a yellow Michigan sweater.

Initially I was still complaining about the price (37 bucks!!!) but later on, I thought that the money was well spent because I felt much warmer after putting it on

We were actually praying for snow...and we did get some snow in the 3rd quarter but the temperature wasn't low enough and the snow turned to water once it touched the ground (trying to capture the snow...but fail...)

Throughout the game, we cheered and made noise as loud as we could. Although Michigan lost by a touchdown at the end, I thought that it wasn't too bad a game...and the most important thing now is TO BEAT THE BUCKEYES!!!

It started to snow the next day...if only it snowed a day earlier, I would have gotten my first football game on a snow covered field...
