I should have stayed in MD. I walked from EB to north campus, and sadly, I forgot to wear a knit cap, so I was all about the Brown Fedora of Style today. Now, the BFS is nice and all, but it don't do shit for one's ears. During the walk, I felt my ears go successively (a) cold, (b) frigidly cold, (c) numb, (d) stinging with pain, and then (e) numb again. Letter (e) disturbed me. I am convinced that I would have had to lop off my earlobes a la Vincent van Gogh because of frostbite had my walk lasted ten more minutes. I know it was my fault for clothing myself improperly (" dammit! underwear on the BOTTOM next time!" ), but Jumpin' Jeezus Christ on a Pogo Stick can't someone bump up the thermostat in this fucking ice hole? It was 5 DEGREES ... Farenheight ... when I left the apt. this morning. GRRRR!!

Fuck yeah its cold outside. I choose to pay 7ish dollars per day to park near my classes instead of being dropped of and having to walk through that shit. Michigan winters are nothing but the Alaska Jr. Show.
Though honestly, we've been lucky. We didn't really start getting any of the crappy conditions until early Jan, instead of the quite possible mid Nov.

I'll admit that it's a bit colder and a bit snowier (I make words!) this year than it has been in the past few years, but quite honestly, this ain't shit. The UP gets it MUCH worse than we do every year. You out of state people need to quit complaining.  |

"the Alaska Jr. Show"? Priceless! I had to crank the engine five times this morning to convince it to start. And that was just to get *me* out of bed! The poor Pimpmobile was worse!!!

7:30am walk to Chem building. Ok, I can manage that, barely. When I walked into my lab, I was 1) late and 2) now so incredibly warm that it felt like I was being cooked alive. Plus, I forgot to bring the damn lab notebook, and had to go search (for twenty minutes) for a freakin' copy machine. And then I had to borrow someone's lab book to see what the experiment even was....and it is very difficult to do so when everyone is flitting around the room, happily gathering data.
Oh, oh, and is that alll, you ask? Why no. You see, I had figured it would be very cold outside today, and I wore two pairs of pants, as well as a warm sweatshirt and jacket, but I believe it got EVEN COLDER from the time I entired a nice, warm building to the time I exited it. I am a veteran of Michigan winters, but goddamn, it is cold out there. I couldn't feel any extremity at all. In fact, the only thing I could feel (that wasn't stinging with cold) was my stomach. That was grumbling because I had to rush out of my dorm at 7:30am without breakfast. And of course, you can't eat anything in the chem labs. So to date, my day has sucked ( to borrow a phrase) BFDD. And it isn't even over yet. The only happy-fun-time I expect this entire day is making fun of dear old W. Oh, and sleeping. Yes, sleeping is definitely happy-fun-time also.

Seriously, you wuss-sacks, it hasn't even hit the negatives with the wind-chill yet during the day. What the hell are you cry-lodons going to teeth on when the real cold weather hits? It's nothing to have it be WC of -15 this time of year, and lower has certainly happened. I haven't even been wearing a coat unless I had a 10+ minute walk to make.

I've yet to bother putting my liner inside my coat. I had to take a book back to Ned's this morning and only my nose got a little chilly. Everything else was warm to the point where I bought a cold coke for the trip home (but only because it was too early for ice cream!).

Since I'm slow on the boards, everything I was gonna say already done got said. So mark me up on the "it's not cold, you pussies!" side.

Is it really that cold out? I wouldn't know, as I didn't have any classes today. :-D And I work inside the building. :-D
