the return of winter

today’s snow storm seemed so surreal. perhaps storm is too strong a word but it did look pretty crazy as i stared out of the window during class this afternoon. after the gorgeous day we had yesterday i didn’t want to believe the weather channel’s predictions of snow. but it was true. as i was walking down broadway on my way back from my interview, i was totally consumed by thoughts of grandeur and whatnot and hence totally oblivious to the fat flakes falling down around me. i didn’t even see t as i walked by and was totally startled when i heard my name called out.

you’d think that after a couple of crazy canadian winters i’d be used to it all by now... but to be honest there’s nothing romantic about the prospects of slush-filled roads and cold snow blown in your face. i need to find a warmer climate.
