While the people of Bangor, Maine brushed off the warnings of an oncoming winter storm, flurries begin to fall.<\/p>\n
Based on the public\u2019s perception of televised hysteria, the storm was seen as a commercialized scheme by the media, intended to have everyone in Penobscot county rushing to Wal-Mart to stock up on goods.<\/p>\n
Unlike majority of New Englanders, anticipating a day off from school or work, the Mainers of Bangor were by no means disconcerted by the oncoming blizzard.<\/p>\n
Twenty minutes away from the urbanized hub that is Bangor, Tad Fellows, a student at the University of Maine in Orono sits at his cramped internship desk watching his final hour of the shift tick by. A scholar in environmental studies, Tad spends most afternoons executing menial computer tasks inside a stuffy lab for his jaded professor.<\/p>\n
The final minutes of today\u2019s particular shift had Tad more anxious than usual. He counted down the seconds while watching snowflakes fall from the laboratory\u2019s one window. What awaited him as his apartment was far more gratifying than the 9 hours of classes that he had just endured.<\/p>\n
