Snowing outside. It's beautiful. I've rarely seen this much snow in Baltimore, and almost never go out while it's still snowing. Walking around campus in the snow was so liberating. I think I know why intellects seem to gravitate toward northern-climate schools. There's something deafening about the sound of snow fall. Something that opens your mind as it numbs your body. You think more clearly than ever before. I'm looking forward to winter quarter.
One paper to go!
Here's another thought: when I feel self-conscious about my looks, I can't listen or believe others who try and compliment me. I just can't believe them. How is it even possible that someone can find something attractive about me that I find so unattractive? Isn't that whole I can't love you till you love yourself thing true? Isn't confidence attractive? I think so. But I know what it means to really like some feature of a person, because it defines them, so I guess it's the same for others. I just wish I could see it about myself.
Looking forward to coming home, via Florida. I hope it's as nice as I think it will be. I do miss my family, and of course my friends. I will miss it here though. Life is great. :)
