Winter Wonderland?
Dec. 23rd, 2010 01:24 amI have a theory about cold weather: You know when it's too cold outside when you can feel your nose-hairs freezing while you breathe. I think you should never have to acknowledge the existence of your nose-hairs in principle, so that's where I draw the line on cold weather.
So it's been -25 ºC (-13 ºF) today and it's supposed to be -30 ºC (-22 ºF) tomorrow and even colder on Christmas eve! Kind of over doing it at the moment Winter... just some friendly advice because I actually like you a lot in general. =)
We went trekking to two cemeteries today, taking candles to the graves and man! It was freezing. Also did you know that it's surprisingly difficult to navigate to the right grave when all the headstones are covered in snow and look the same and it's dark. So that meant some extra time wandering around in the snow. Well I guess it could be written down as a extreme weather survival training in some universe, right? x)
Also we cooked the ham today. Man it is such a tease to get a tiny taste of it before it's put away to wait for the Christmas eve, seriously a tease!
(we are doing all these Christmas traditions in advance this year because we are going to be away for the eve and Christmas day. That should be interesting and in a good way I hope)
Whee~ I just checked my student records (or what ever they are called in English) and I already have 32 credits! Just from the fall semester! And you technically only need 45 per year, so that is awesome for me. Especially because last year this time I think I had zero credits. =D What is not as awesome is that I need about 45 more credits and then my thesis, which is worth 40 credits before I can graduate, sooooo mada mada dane (aka you still have lots more to work on.) As one of my tennis playing friend would say. Haha~ *nervous laughter*
