I don't want to alarm you, but it's actually December.
Yes, friends. It's December. Chicago is newly covered in crunchy snow and patches of un-shoveled-snow-turned-to-ice. Christmas is rapidly approaching, it starts getting dark at 4 p.m. and I start trying to figure out how the hell I kept warm last year.
Aside: Chicago Mayoral candidates, I will vote for whoever of you promises to fine these idiots who do not shovel properly - leaving a path of danger for walkers and joggers. Also, they are the same jerk homeowners who run their sprinklers over the sidewalk all spring, summer and fall.
School is nearly done - just one more test! Next semester I'll dive into the juicy material of Anatomy & Physiology II! We finished A&P I with the nervous system -- whoa! I'm a terrible student of muscles and I cannot understand how all these bones have all these parts -- but the nervous system? It's true love!
I'll get a pretty lovely break for the holidays. My plan is to hunker down to an extent -- I'm going to clean, toss junk, plan a kicking New Year's Eve party, apply to jobs and such things. B and I are enjoying the winter lifestyle dictated by our drafty apartment - lots of blankets, soup and hoodies.
Along with recalling the basics of winter (where are my gloves? do I have gloves?) from 9 months ago, I'm also trying to figure out how to keep up my bicycling to class without freezing myself silly. This is a work in progress.
I plan to blog a lot whilst on break. I gotta keep my amazing brain working, right?
