hypothermia.

utah... is sneaky. today i drove to school and from inside my trusty mazda 3 the weather looked beautiful. almost warm even. but... then i get to campus, take 10 minutes to find a somewhat (not really) decent parking spot, open my car door, and BAM. hypothermia.
it. is. SO. cold.
not like the "oh, brrrrrr. its cold" kind of cold.
like the kind where your face and your fingers and your toes hurt because it is so cold.
...plus it's windy.
i went up to campus earlier than usual today, around 3:30. my tuesday class is a night class...at 6. but i came up early to do some reading and homework in the library.
by the time 6 rolled around and i had to leave the library to walk to my class, it was dark, and therefore, even colder... which apparently was possible.
walking to class is a nightmare.
it is so cold...
that while i was walking here today:

i would not have been one bit surprised to look up and see one of these:
or these...
...not okay.
i am so ready for winter to be over.
*****************
it does however have one advantage that i have discovered.
it is the essential ingredient in the recipe for a perfectly semi-frozen dr. pepper slush.
simply leave a bottle in your car over night, and voila:
the perfect "on your way from school to work" treat.

  4. Love this blog, lovely. Sorry it's so cold! I have been complaining that it's cold here, but it's only California cold, AKA not cold at all compared to Utah! Bleh! Well, at least you have some yummy slushy DP to show for it :) That's a plus :) Love and miss you!
