following the tracks/leader
First snow of the year. Six inches in the morning and ice the rest of the day. That was yesterday. Tonight they are calling for another stampede of white glossy fun.
School news: yet another Honors Vector Geo test. I studied until I became incoherent and delusional. I thought I did pretty well, but I won’t know until next Tues. Defered gratification of sorts.
Immediately post-test, I hopped aboard the Two Town post-haste and public transportation-ed my way to the Target area. It was snowing fairly rapidly at this time, but not cruelly. So I went to Target and got some gloves and a hat and then headed over to B&N for a Peppermint Mocha. By the time I left B&N, my original tracks through the snow were completely gone. Needless to say, the weather had turned for a final blow before it would plateau. So I get back to the bus stop 5 minutes before it is supposed to shop up. I’m holding my umbrella to shield me from the intense wind and snow and my other hand contains what is left of my Mocha. I’m wearing my backpack with my math text and my Vector notebook, along with my purchase from Target. The bus doesn’t show up on time. The bus doesn’t show up 10 minutes late. The bus doesn’t show up 20 minutes late. The bus shows up 25 minutes late. I nearly couldn’t move by this point. I just collapse into a seat and wait forever before we go anywhere at a purely lethargic pace. It takes about 40 minutes to get back to Tech. Cars were all over the road from my view on the bus. We crept along patiently enough to pack the snow down for those to the rear. Anyways, it was an exciting and adventurous trip that I took. Despite the discomfort, I enjoyed it as a whole.
Then I rested up after getting back and then went with Abigail’s suite to the ’snowball fight’ on the drillfield. The fuzz didn’t mind, as long as we weren’t wreaking havoc or blocking traffic. So it was exciting…and cold….and wet. And fun. Very fun. Then we all went back for hot chocolate and Catch Phrase.
These are the good times you blog about.
