I suppose this is as good a way of wasting time as any; Marianne and I have our lab practical tomorrow, and we need to get together to make an index for our lab manual and generally freak out together, and then take an unnecessarily long nap, but as she's not picking up her phone and not on IM, I have the feeling that she's jumped straight to the nap and I'm left with a little time to kill. I could work on the paper whose draft needs to be done on Thursday, and of which I still have 6 or 7 pages to write, but I'd rather not, so I suppose that's that.
I was thinking about how things always seem much more gloomy in December than they do in May; I write myself letters from futureme.org and the ones that were written in the winter always seem much more depressing than the ones that are from the spring. I realized, though, how much better this winter is than the last. Yeah, it's cold and I'm still in Baltimore and shockingly failing most of my classes in a very ugly way, but for the most part, it's really not that bad. I love the M5W people that I met these past couple of months, and I'm finding that the friends I made last spring are even better than I thought they were. I think I'm still reaping the rewards of last spring and summer, so I think this winter is going to be a little less painful than last year's, which means that the spring is going to be absolutely fantastic. So there's a bright outlook after all.
Doesn't stop the snow from seeping into the bottom of my jeans, though. Bastardly snow.
