Day Thirty-seven

Originally from here.

I feel like such a kid - my night class got canceled today! I don't have to rush to do research for my presentation! Hurray! Although as far as I can tell none of my other classes were canceled today, oh well, no matter. (Sidenote: I'd say one of the best times of my life was during the "Blizzard of '96" - school was canceled for a week, and the snow was up to my waist.)

You know, since I have electricity now I think I'll make peanut butter toast, and have both milk and orange juice with it. And I should munch on the rest of those berries, and maybe an apple. There's something about winter days that really brings out my appetite.

Day Thirty-six

Originally from here.

It snowed last night! The town was completely unprepared, so the roads are a slushy mess today. It's fun to drive around and see people out of their houses - making snow creatures (my favorite was the giant snow lizard), walking their dogs, and in general making the best of these strange circumstances (I'll say, I've never been without power for so long).

Everything looks so wonderful outside. For a day at least, the world is entirely new, dressed in its finest, most pure white. I'm sitting in the commons, and can hear other people talking about this too - "it's like you're frozen in time" - this sort of weather brings out the child and would-be poet in everyone.

Haha, so much for my "happy Spring" last post... But I'll take a late Winter over none at all!
