It was windy today, but not too terribly cold. Drizzle early, which made for a wet, stinging mess on my walk to class. It was warm in class, so I was able to remove my jacket (and nap comfortably). I stayed after to work on my OS presentation. This mostly consisted of deciding who was preparing what, and also drawing some doodles of how the BIOS operates. I left campus at about 7:30.

It had stopped raining, and the thick blanket of clouds had drifted east slightly. This left an open slit of sky along the western horizon. Once the sun dipped low enough, it lit the underside of the cloud layer to bright oranges and pinks, which hung in a sea of dark grey and purple. Lots of warm, orange rays pierced the cold sky. Everything west of me gained the glow that only the backlighting of a setting sun can give, and in a massively panoramic way as a result of the cloud blanket. The band of empty sky had a gradiant from gold to an unnatural, glowing teal color further from the sun. It was one of those beautiful, end-of-the-world sunsets.
