flurry.
enraptured by the beauty of the wintery landscape.
this, despite the sub zero temperature, sniffly nose, and various freezing parts of the anatomy.
more powdery snow fell overnight. by morning, the sun was shining again and the sky a shade of blue that signalled good weather was to come.
oohing and aahing at snow-covered surfaces - roofs, cars, foliage - on the walk to school. the locals didn't seem to like the snow much, because of the inconvenience and cold it brought. first class over and made a pit stop at bean and bagel for a single shot of mocha to keep me warm on the walk back to my apartment. i came home to find that my second class was cancelled because of the snow.
and so on impulse i went outside in only a jacket and slippers relishing the cold air. the weekend has come early. four days of it. much reading needs to be done, contrary to back in singapore, where you can put off readings until a quiz is imminent.
yet, i am nonetheless filled with an inexplicable happiness and energy.
