Sunsets

I believe that every evening God becomes a painter and creates beautiful works of art. We have the opportunity to stand back and watch the creation of a masterpiece, if only we would notice. Oh, if only we would notice!

Procrastination

Why is it that as the semester progresses a student's tendency to procrastinate increases? I swear it's a scientific fact, and there's an equation that verifies my theory.

Every student experiences this phenomenon at one time or another, and I am no exception. I have two tests, two conference papers, and an analysis paper due in the next two weeks, but am I finished with any of them? Absolutely not. At least I've started on studying for the tests...

Winter

It's cold. I mean, really cold. Like, I'm-going-to-have-to-start-scraping-my-windows-so-I-can-drive kind of cold. I'm not really ok with it. It's fun to bundle up and look cute in fall clothes (boots, cardigans, turtlenecks...), but when your nose and your pinkies are freezing, it's not so awesome. I was determined to be like 80% of the rest of the world and dislike winter this.

And then it snowed. Beautiful, fat, fluffy flakes...

Dang, Mother Nature's good!
