Cold Weather

I always have a hard time trying to think of a title for each of my posts. There is never a unifying theme through my many thoughts so I never have a title that covers everything I'm talking about. If anybody could help me in the future, or if you have a suggestion for me, let me know...

I am beginning to hate the snow. It’s awful. I can’t believe I’m saying it, but it is true. I grew up in Chicago where I felt like it never snowed and there was never enough snow on the ground and now I say this. The reason I hate the snow is what makes me feel like I can say this. I don’t hate snow because it’s cold or because it’s wet or because it’s slippery or because it can impair vision. I hate it because it makes people put salt and sand on the sidewalks. The sand gets my pants all dirty and gets in my shoes and contrary to its purpose, make the ground more slippery for me. Aside from the salt and sand, I love snow.

Now that I’m in college, I sleep a lot. Actually, I probably sleep the same amount, just at different times… I sleep less at night, but I take way more naps. A typical day might look like this: 12 am- start homework, 1 am- go to sleep, 7 am- wake up and go to class, 9 am- come back and take a nap, 9:30 am- wake up and go to class, 11 am- come back, finish my homework, and take a nap, 11:45 am- wake up and go to class, 1 pm- come back and take a nap, 9 pm- wake up and do nothing, 12 am- start homework. As this was going on the other day, I felt really tired. I got in bed to take a nap at about 4 pm and woke up at 6 pm still feeling really tired. That got me thinking, what if I go to sleep and don’t wake up before the night… I’ll just end up sleeping until 11 the next morning. But what if I don’t wake up then… what if I don’t ever wake up again? I might not be taking so many naps anymore…

Chicago is the fourth coldest city in the U.S. according to the weather channel.

Beware the site Blogger. I started my blog (actually my brother and sisters did) on it and thought, there are probably a lot of other blogs like mine that are just about stupid everyday stuff. I was wrong. It is full of blogs about families. Almost every other blog I saw was about Joe Schmoe’s family. Some people have absolutely no life at all… oh wait that’s me.
