Cold Weather

It's been really cold these couple days, well these couple weeks. I think Winter is a really depressing season. Maybe it's because it seems so dead. We need the green summer leaves, and the green grass, laughter and outside activities. It's too cold outside that when I want to go somewhere, I tend to have second thoughts because I hate driving when it's cold. You have to go start the car and wait five to seven minutes to get the engine warmed up and the inside warm. The steering wheel is freezing cold too, and not only that but my car is a stick shift so then the stick is freezing too. I was thinking about getting some gloves but I keep forgetting to, and I really hate carrying them around because it looks funny when you stuff them in the pockets.
Getting the frost off the windows has been a real disaster. I only have a small hand scraper, so I can only get half the windshield, then i'll have to go to the other side. It's hard when there's so much snow piled on the curb side that I have a hard time trying to remove the snow on the other side. Maybe I have to invest in a better snow remover, the ones that can be twisted and pulled to become longer. I haven't checked my oil in a while too. It's too cold outside that I don't want to spend time outisde checking it. I should though because it's bad for the car if there's no oil in it, plus it's winter too. I just dislike the snow and cold weather. I have to wake up earlier and leave earlier because it might snow the night before and i'll have to remove all the snow and it'll take longer to get to class. It's the only time of the year that I drive below 25, that's if there is snow on the road. I like to go jogging at night, but since Winter is here, I have to go to North High School to use their treadmills, and they're only open at certain times, so I don't usually have the time to go. I think Winter just bring a lot more work into people's lives and the community. Maybe i'm just lazy, but i'm blaming it on Winter!

Thanksgiving Weekend

This week is going to be really busy for me because of Thanksgiving and it's also the Hmong New Year. So much to do but I still have school things to worry about too. I have a take home Philosophy exam paper due on Wednesday that I should probably start working on. Then I have the English Rogerian essay due Tuesday too. There's the Astronomy research paper that needs to be started on too. There's just so much to do, and I'm kind of busy too. On Thanksgiving we had Turkey and a bunch of other food that were good. This whole weekend was really busy. It is our Hmong New Year at the Sheboygan North High School fieldhouse. I'm going to be there for Friday Saturday and Sunday. I participated in the fashion show and we performed on Saturday. I wasn't that nervous because I did it for three years now. Everything went great, except that the songs were somewhat weird and short by a couple seconds. Wasn't that big of a deal, but we had to cut our routine short. It was good though because we had to eat lunch first before anyone else did, and we didn't have to wait in those long lines that take forever. I had fun doing it though, had a good time. Used a lot of my weekend time to practice but I guess it was worth it in the end. If you put hard work and effort into something, it will show in the end.
