Derelict

I haven't been dutiful in my blogging. I apologise profusely. Can't really be helped though. Still have to write a history essay and one physics question. Anyway, there was a moment today that makes the cold worthwhile. Snow - lots of it. The morning was rather dismal, since it was snowing lightly but it was too warm, so the snow melted as soon as it touched the ground. At lunchtime, though, we had clumps of snowflakes about the size of the last joint on your little finger (maybe other fingers for you small-handed people) coming down, and the campus really got blanketed! Eating lunch at Mission was like seeing into another world through the windows - seriously did not look like a twenty-first century college scene. Felt more magical than that. I walked in the doors from a green world and left entering a white one.

I'd have pictures but for the sad evanescence of such things (at this temperature, i.e. just a couple of degrees above freezing). By the time my violin lesson was over, most of the snow had melted. There's still some on the ground, but nothing like the glory of midday. Of course, bar some strange occurrence, such as an invisible object striking our planet, or some mysterious disease that strikes me down from the pink of health, I'm going to get other opportunities to show you such things, and enjoy them myself.

It's nice to think that I can still take pleasure just being in the world. Don't have to actually DO anything, can just appreciate the world out there. Just wish I had a bit more time to do it. Why don't you walk out and appreciate the world right now?
