Hello all,
I am actually sitting at my computer right now writing this and wishing that I had never left my window open all day because of how cold it is. I can honestly say that it must be less than 40 degrees outside and I am not happy about it. I am one of those people who does not like the cold. I do not care how hot it is outside, bring it on. I hate the fact that I have to layer up and I always feel that no matter how warm it can get in the winter, I feel that I am cold through the entire winter. I really think that my body becomes permanently frozen or something, because I fear that from now until spring my hands will not stop being cold. I must say how pathetic this is, my mom as picks on me because I was born and raised in Vermont. She always says that by now I should be used to the weather by now, but I am not. My body is just not used to it and is effected greatly by it, I will just have to man up!
I must say though that I really love the Fall, especially being in New England. I actually really love being in Vermont specifically because of all of the beautiful foliage that we have. I was actually quite surprised when foliage actually came and this may seem like a blonde moment I guess. I went with one of my friends downtown and was looking at the trees and was absolutely amazed by all of the spectacular colors. I then was thinking, wow, how come the trees are still so colorful? I kept thinking that it was still summer and it made no sense to me that the tree were not completely green. I then looked at my cell phone and realized that it was the end of September and foliage had begun again. And thus, I really feel that time is just flying by this semester.
I was honestly so busy with everything and running around that I was losing track of time. I knew exactly what day it was to make all my meetings, but I did not realize what time of the year it was. It was as if I was letting the world pass me by while still being apart of it if that makes sense. That was why when the cold was setting in and I noticed the foliage I was really extremely surprised by it all. I was just unaware of everything that going around me, naturally. I guess though that I am excited because although I can not handle the cold whatsoever, I think it is one of the beautifulest parts of the year. One of my favorite memories from home was right after a big snowstorm I was leaving for school while in high school and saw outside. As I stepped outside, I could tell the snow was a little heavy to stick on the trees and there was about five inches of snow on the ground, but untouched. The scene looked absolutely beautiful, and I hated having to drive on the road to move the snow out of the way. It was one of the most picturesque sights I have ever seen, so the snow is not all that bad after all.
Also, being that we get a Season's Pass to the local mountain for $30 is amazing! This is a very great mountain with over 100 different trials that are over three different mountains, each with their own difficulty level. I have actually been skiing and snowboarding there for about 6 years and used to pay almost $400 a year, so having the price being so low is amazing. Well, I think I am now going to lay down on the couch and watch some TV for a while. I think that I am going out with some friends for dinner and then out for the night. It should be fun tonight but it is going to be a cold one, I know I plan to staying inside baby!
