I Like These Cold, Gray Winter Days. Days Like These Let You Savor A Bad Mood.

Wow, it is freezing! If typing in gloves weren't so difficult, I would definately go for a pair right now. I woke up this morning and on my way to work was greeted with a fresh blast of frigid winter air. The added snow on the ground was equally displeasing, and the added value of visible breath in the air was truly uncomfortable. To add insult to injury, when I got into work my dad took the sweater I was wearing and now refuses to give it back. The worst part of it all though, is I think I can hear the air conditioning running in the background amid the click clack of all the keyboards. If God gave us cold so what we could learn to appreciate the warm, I am fairly confident that I have indeed learned my lesson. There is nothing more I woud like right now than a warm cozy sweater, or a steaming cup of hot chocolate. I think Matthew White phrased it best when he said, "If you are cold, let the promise of my love cover you like a warm blanket." If this quote is true, then all I'm missing is someone to promise me their love. The problem I seem to have is that when I find someone who will promise me their love, it never lasts for as long as I would like it too. The fates are truly cruel beings.
On a happier note though, I've just been informed that today is Thursday. That means that once today ends, there's only one more work day until the weekend. I've decided that whoever invented weekends was probably the smartest person in the whole world. Everyone needs a break after toiling for five long hard days, and what better way to end the week than with a weekend of no work?! Its pure genius! The only downside is that I don't have any plans for this upcoming weekend. All of my friends that have been home visiting from college are headed back, and it reminds me of all the life I'm missing out on by just sitting here in my cubical working. I know that being here in this box, waiting for the clock to tick five so that I can leave, is a good thing and will one day help my career; but I can't help but wonder what it would be like living the life of a true college student. I know everyone has to go through life their own way, but just once I would like to live the vaulted life of a real college student. I long for the power to do my own thing, to meet all of the beautiful women college life has to offer, and to stay up late partying friday night without having to worry about getting up or going to work the next morning. I know college life isn't all fun and games, and that it requires hard work, but for just one semester it would be so nice to just do my own thing down in the sun at Dixie.
