Yesterday Blog: MIKE IN BRAZIL continued on this way until exams were coming up. It was around 11 pm on a Friday evening in early December, the last day of classes. Exams were scheduled to start on the coming Wednesday, so tonight was the last big bash before everyone put their noses to the grindstone. Most of the partyers from my res had finished their celebrating here and headed out to the local campus bar. I had planned to take it easy all night and have a little time off before starting the marathon of studying tomorrow. Looking out of my window, I noticed that it had started to snow out an hour or so ago, and a fair bit of snow had accumulated on the ground outside.
