It's too darn cold
Have I mentioned that it is cold?

Subzero before you account for wind chill.

So cold your breath freezes (like in a cartoon!).

I've twice now made the mistake of walking 10 or so blocks in this cold. I had places to go where cars aren't convenient and bus schedules erratic, and walking is my usual habit. Hah. My legs are still cold just thinking about it.

To be fair, I stopped in convenience marts on my way last night. too cold to keep walking, too stuborn to give up, so i bought a lighter.

Aside from the cold, all is good. My classes are pretty cool, though both require a lot of work. My first assignment for "Advanced Professional Writing" is due tomorrow, which really sucks since I have auditions tonight. My Ethics class has already covered technological change and the impact of 9/11 on personal freedom, soon we move on to affirmative action, abortion, cloning, and the redistribution of wealth, to name just a few. Should be fun. The class is too big, and the prof. signed in a few too many unregistered students (it's and econ dept. & business class), so no one talked.

Work is annoyingly busy still. I am pretty sure the next 2 weeks are going to be utter hell, but this too shall pass.
