too cold for me.

I'm currently thawing in the warmth of a thick blanket. Snow can be a wonderful thing, except that it's cold. And wet. Tonight in the snow was pure bliss: sledding down the hill in a plastic tub, trekking through inches of untouched snow on the quad, the way blizzards look in the light of a street lamp, snow angels, and the raucous company of friends who haven't been together in weeks.

Today, I've experienced a variety of emotions. Sadness, happiness, excitement, thoughtfulness. It happens when all of my friends are gathered in one place after weeks of absence. There is a certain honesty we share when we meet back up. We're willing to be more open, to assure people that the brief absence hasn't changed us, whether or not the circumstances of our lives have changed in that same time. I love it. It's probably the time I feel I know my friends the best.

And tomorrow, we'll have even more time to share and celebrate. Monday classes at Oglethorpe are cancelled. Snowed in for an entire day. You must know what that means...
