We had our first (and probably our last) snow of the year on Saturday and Sunday. I love snow. It makes me feel like a boy again. I just want to go outside and play in it. Unfortunately, this was not the right weekend for it to snow. I had to help with the Center Test at my university, so I had to stay inside all day long. The snow delayed some trains, and several people arrived late. Even though I couldn’t go outside during the day, I enjoyed walking to the university on Sunday morning. Everything looked beautiful covered in snow. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

The Best FIFA Football Awards were held on January 9 in Switzerland. Cristiano Ronaldo was named the best male player for the fourth time. He had a great year. Both his pro team Real Madrid and his country team Portugal won championships in 2016. The best female player of the year was Carli Lloyd of the U.S. It was her second time. Although America didn’t win the Olympics, she had another great year. This time, even soccer fans were given an award. Great moments with fans were shown, and the fans of two teams, Dortmund (Germany) and Liverpool (England), won the award together.(by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)]
