Now that I'm back in Kentucky, I feel like I will never be warm again. My house is cold. My office is cold. Outside is cold. It is officially winter, and my body is trying to do what it always tries to do this time of year: hibernate. The hibernation plan for this year so far seems to be to watch copious amounts of South Park and play Spyro the Dragon. I've been reading too, coming up with ideas for a tv show (it's like the Office, only about a non-profit), and singing a lot of karaoke.
I'm also super pumped to go back to school. While I appreciate the way the snow looks on the Whitesburg streets as I walk to hang out with my friends at night, I can recall how slick the Mudd ramp gets, taking out co-op trash in the snow, and those mornings when I can sneak in a cross-country ski journey before class. And while it's great to spend my evenings discussing reproductive health on a WMMT talk show, learning about StoryCorps, selecting karaoke numbers, teaching Sadie to use her scratching post, and watching the adventures of Cartman and Butters, I think I'm ready to do homework instead. Oberlin, as soon as you give me my housing assignment, I will be ready.
Well it's been a long day of web design. I know I have things to say, but my brain would rather hibernate and dream than blog. I'm going to revive it before school starts, but after 5 pm the only decisions I want to make are what to have for dinner, and whether or not to go out. So I'm going to appreciate the quiet contemplation that happens in winter, my opportunity for a mental break, the evenings spent cuddling as Stan, Kile, Cartman, and Kenny adventure in South Park, and waking up frozen. And hopefully Sadie will start scratching her scratching post instead of the couch.
