what a th-thrill
Though I love making lattes for people, specifically a few people who enjoy good barista-ship, and though I love working with the people I do, particularly bakers - I still told Ranae that I would be leaving Bollo’s entirely in the spring. My schedule right now is practically nonexistant, so it won’t be a terrible stretch to toss the remaining shifts off. But still, I will go from being an official employee, to, again, an unofficial employee. It will hurt, kind of like an evil-morning-without-coffee hurt.
Yet, I must do it. Academically, the spring semester will be guerilla warfare and these RA duties, though lighter next semester, still add up to a significant amount of work each and every week. Plus, I spoke to a professor this week who is trying to get me involved in some of his research which will be for-credit in the spring. Lastly, the type of level stress I am experiencing is causing me to stutter which I do not appreciate.
But right now, everything is a blur. I am not sure whether my eyes are tired or my body weak. Or whether I need some quality coffee to really perk my systems up.
My solace is the temperature which is dropping quickly here; once the sun settles down for the evening, the necessity for sweaters and scarves becomes known. I love it. Visitors in my room think I am nuts for keeping the windows open and fans blowing; but I dearly love curling up in a pile of blankets and random clothes to fall asleep in the winter. I may one day suffocate in one of these setups, what with all of the blankets around me, but know I will suffocate with a smile.

I know exactly what you mean about winter, I love getting all bundled up to go outside. I also love being all wrapped up in blankets when it’s snowing outside. Just something sort of comforting about it all.
Most people don’t seem to like winter, but I actually like it.

[…] Reading one of Ryan’s posts, it reminded me how much I love winter. I love being able to wear sweaters, getting bundled up in scarves and gloves to go outside, and sleeping with lots of blankets. There’s something just comforting about being inside wrapped in blankets while it’s snowing outside. […]

This calls for a snuggle!
