Winter weeks in Athens

Ross Perry and a group of his friends participate in a large group snowball fight in front of Nelson dining hall in Athens, Ohio, during Ohio University's second snow day of the semester on Monday, February 3, 2014.


These past two weeks at Ohio University have been absolutely jam-packed. So far, it has been the busiest semester I've had at school. I doubt I'll be getting a whole lot of free time these next few months. Though I've been busy, I've been occupied with a lot of great assignments and experiences at school. These last two weeks I covered a lot of sporting events for The Post, began working with the Soul of Athens team, researched a beat to cover for my Mutliplatform Reporting class, and did a lot of work on a photo story for Marcy's class, which I may be putting up soon. Ohio University has cancelled two days of class so far this semester, which is very rare. It has been bitter cold, but it has made for some interesting shooting conditions.Take a look in pictures at what I've been up to these last two weeks!
