it is so cold

Posted on Jan 16th, 2009 by Michelle : firerose Michelle
I go to college in Michigan and, man, is it cold right now! It is -11 degrees out. There's like at least 6 inches of snow on the ground. It's definitely pretty, but it's tough because I have to walk everywhere. Ouch. I'm from Connecticut, and it does get cold there too, but not this cold. And when I'm in Connecticut, I don't have to walk everywhere. People drive me places. It's nice. Not so much here. Last winter in CT, I made it through winter basically wearing only sweatshirts. If I did that here, I'm pretty sure I'd die of pneumonia and frostbite. It'd be very very sad.
But I like the snow. It's pretty.
I just hope it doesn't stay this cold for too too long. I hope this is the worst it gets, and then the temperatures will go back up at least a little bit. I'll go back to CT in March and the temperatures will be like 25 degrees and I'll be like yay warm! Ugh . . .
The ironic thing is that today in Anchorage, Alaska it's 42 degrees . . .
Whyy?
I guess it's not too bad since I haven't started a hardcore countdown till I go home yet. I'm not obsessed with going home yet, which is good since I've only been back here since Monday evening. But: I go home in 56 days. woot.
No, but I'm okay with being here. I like it here ^_^
Although, my English class is already scaring me. I was hoping this semester would be a tad easier than last. Lucky me, I'm in an honors English class, and last semester was super hard. English has always been one of my best subjects, but it was my worst class last semester! Crazy. I guess it'll only make me a better writer and such, though. And, me being me, I can't not challenge myself. I can't take the easy road and take the non-honors English class when I can take the honors class. The thing that really scares me is that I might have to give a 4-5 minute lecture sometime in the semester :( well . . . we'll see.
But I think I'm going to be loving my art history class. I love looking at art and finding out stuff about it, what it means, and just seeing how beautiful it is. It's great.
Chemistry is tough too though . . . today's lecture was a little rough. I haven't seen what we did today before.
History shouldn 't be too bad, and I even said something in class yesterday! (That's big for me, I rarely participate in class even though I should).
I don't know what to expect from Biology. I'm good at Biology, so hopefully it won't be hard.
That's basically it. We shall see how this all plays out.

Huzzah for class participation!  I’m taking Bio ad animal sciences and algebra. Yeah I’m dumb but that’s ok.  It’s cool to be in school whether or not your good at it.
