Counting Today ...

sinjun... there are 17 days (not counting the Friday on which we will start) until we next play Circus.
Yes, I am counting down. Isn't that pathetic? Of course, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that there are also 17 days to finish up the 4 assignments due before Reading Week. Nope, definitely not.
There were neat ribbons in the sky yesterday, as I drove home. It was pretty - until the sun finished setting, leaving me in the dark. And today, I had to de-ice my windows so I could see to drive. Yay?
Winter, unfortunately, is coming. Of course, so is Indian Summer.

Date: 2003-10-07 09:06 am (UTC)Im one who likes to wrap up in a nice trenchcoat and warmer clothes. Shorts and tee-shirts arent my thing, by any means. Cooler weather is refreshing to me, it doesnt bog me down like the stagnant and sweltering heat in the summer. My allergies also are freed up, the pollen in the air has minimalized, so I may breath freely for a few scant months.
Winter means snow, which as we all know brings about the child in each of us. Snowball fights are even found here at work, the powdery white stuff pulling at everyone's mischeviousness. And then there is of course, Christmas :)
There isnt an easy answer to that question. I feel younger, cleaner, and more at peace in the fall and winter.

I don't like the unsettled weather of early autumn nor do I like driving in snow storms, hail storms, ice storms, or even just snowy days. Because it makes a stressful drive about 100 times more so.

Down in SC though, a few inches and we consider ourselves lucky.
Ive said it before.....you live too far up North ;)

Date: 2003-10-07 01:40 pm (UTC)And last winter was too long for me to forget how long it was. I don't want it to come back, yet. Winter can be from December 15 to January 2nd and I'm happy.

Date: 2003-10-07 01:48 pm (UTC)You know, that works for me.
I still want a way to have snow fall only on the cross country trails and the grass ... then I'd be happy.
