I Want Snow

Its cold here, but not cold enough.  I avoid going outside because the cold is damp and just all around unpleasent.  I want it to snow.  Being delayed in Beijing made me homesick for the first time in 2 years.  I don't miss Noblesville, honeslty the place is great for so many people but just isn't for me.  So I wasn't homesick to go back, just to have snow.  Thick multi-feet deep snow.  Like how the snow the Scandanivan blogs I love reading. 

I walk around my house in a fleece blanket and Joachims old wool Bennington sweater.  I wish there was too much snow to go to school,  and that I had to stay indoors all day with the wind wistleing outside.  I would sit on my couch and watch movies/tv shows all day wrapped in a fleece blanket.  Maybe I would get up and bake a bread or dessert, or just order warm food.

When I was a freshman, before Shanghai, it snowed everyone in for a week.  I watched the Simple Life (season 4) and ate crakers.  Salteen crakers can get a bit dry and disgusting, but it was so much fun.  Towards the end of the blizzard, my friend Lauren came over and we pretended to be "artic explorers" on the lack behind my house. We had shovels and boots, and pretended to ice skate.  I brought a fanta down to the dock and hid it in snow so my mom wouldn't know I was drinking it.  It was still there in March. 

We are regularally this hardcore:


Being homesick isn't fun, and I am sure reading my noastalgia isn't either. I have homework to do, as it looks like it we will need around 50 more years of Global Warming to get snow in Shanghai.

    we were the best arctic explorers ever, I won't lie. It was like being on the ice planet Hoth. Only better, because we had orange fanta and krispie kreams.
