It's solstice, and thank fuck. The sun rose at 9:23, when I was taking an exam, and set at 15:12, when I was halfway through my Christmas shopping. On most days, I have lectures until four. It gets depressing. (Still, better than the year we got 20 hours of sunlight in all of December.)
In other news, we have ALL THE SNOW. Over 60cm, or two feet. It's madness, but at least the buses are still running and even following some sort of a schedule. (They don't have winter tires. England, watch and learn.)
I've spent this whole month in a state of vague panic, rushing from place to place and not doing any housework. Tomorrow is my last day at my pre-Christmas job sorting mail, for which I'm incredibly grateful. It wasn't a bad job, but I just really need to lie down and sleep for three days now.
In other news, I bought an insanely cute wool skirt from eBay a while ago, and it's only been warm enough to wear it twice. Grr. (By warm enough I mean above -5, which should tell you something of why this winter sucks balls.)
HERE HAVE A SONG. Charlie mentioned this band some time ago, and I looked them up because the name is amazing. The lyrics are almost too perfect to be real, for the sort of frame of mind I'm in. (I am enjoying my flat immensely, by the way. I haven't done the dishes in a week, though, but who cares.)
