Same old song and dance...snow!

It is said that the Eskimos have 27 words for snow. And you know what? I can totally understand. I was going for my daily walk today, and of course, it was snowing. But this kind of snow wasn't the blizzard type of snow nor was it the windy blowing freezing type of snow. This snow is by far my favorite type of snow: the soft romantic floating snow. This kind of snow is the kind that drifts lazily from the sky in big flakes, the flakes that linger on your hair and eyelashes. It reminds me of a romantic moonlight walk in the woods, and when you come inside, your cheeks rosy and your hair covered with a fine layer of soft snow, you sit by the fireside sipping hot cider.

Snow is a great way to define the winter, in my opinion. Since there are so many different kinds of snow, it is highly unlikely that you are unable to find a type to fit your situation. The snow that accurately describes my J-Term so far would be somewhere in between the lazy snow that is gracing my view outside my window and the not quite so lazy snow that comes from a mean-looking sky that has a specific purpose of leaving a layer of snow on the ground just thick enough to make you shovel. Basically, my class involves reading and walking, which is why it's a bit lazy. However, the reading we have to do is extremely difficult and involves many days with 100+ pages per night, which is where the difficulty comes in. I thought I would have much more free time during this month, but I've spent quite a bit of time simply reading.

That's about all I have for this entry. I apologize for the compactness, but I've still got some reading to do for tomorrow, along with some research for my presentation next week. I promise I will have something a bit more entertaining than snow next time. Until then, I'm

Always,
