of why the sea is boiling hot
Have not posted in ages. I point in the direction of finals and too many work shifts, of holidays and too much family time, of shoes and ships and sealing wax.
So. Quickly.
It is 9:16. The snow was supposed to turn to rain at 9:00 sharp. It is still snowing. Is it bad that I am constantly refreshing SchoolReport.org to see if classes tomorrow (first day, no less) are canceled? Am altogether too lazy to dig the car out of its spot (on a sidewalk - I'm sure I'll get ticketed) tonight.
In college, we never had snow days. We had a 'walking campus', so come snow, come ice, come hell itself freezing over, classes were held. My roommates and I created our own snow days (rules = over 6 inches on the ground, maximum of three per semester) to use at our convenience, when the thought of hiking a mile to class in deep snow was too overwhelming (or we were too hungover to successfully accomplish it).
I would do that tomorrow, if it weren't the first day of class, when I'm liable to get dropped if I don't make it.
Went for a looooong walk today and managed to miss much of wildcard football this weekend. Buddy le dog and I are now mutually exhausted, and instead of digging out my car, I am reading yuletide fic and batting away jealousy. I know some of you wrote and were written for - what am I missing? Rec some good stuff my way!
