I woke up and found myself checking the temperature outside. When it turned out to be seven, I put on my t-shirt, sweater, and jacket and headed outside towards my Organic Chemistry class. It was only snowing slightly this morning. So not a big deal right? Wrong.
It didn't stop snowing. It just kept on snowing and snowing and snowing. It started to get heavier as the day went on. More and more snow is covering the quads. More and more snow is covering the parked bicycles. More and more snow is sticking to the golden dome.
Well it is now what the Texan in me calls the "heat of the day" and it had warmed up a decent amount...
if you call two degrees decent.
We still haven't hit the double digits today and supposedly tonight isn't going to be any better. The meteorologists have predicted that we shall reach negative ten degrees with a wind chill of negative eighteen.
Hello winter.

I've been thinkin about my doorbell, when you gonna ring it?
2010 is no more.
So now I've been thinking about my doorbell. I've been thinking about who or what is going to ring it this year.
I had a lot of things and people ring my doorbell last year. (One could say I had my bell rung several times)
Everything that happened last year ~ it is what it is.
The good and the bad, the sweet and the sour, all of it is in the past. But when I take a long enough look at it all, a lot of fantastic things have happened to me and I am extremely grateful for each and every one of them.
But on to the new, the inevitable, the exciting, the unexplored frontier. That is why I like the future. It is ready for me to uncover, discover, or create. No one has explored it before me. Leif Erickson didn't see it before I did. Watson and Crick didn't discover it before me. I get to discover it all on my own.
And I've got a good feeling about 2011...
I've got some decent resolutions that I can keep.
I'm lacing up the old skates for a new season of hockey (this time in South Bend).
I've got a renewed sense of purpose.
But most of all...
I feel like something beautiful is just around the corner.
