I should be studying for my last final. It's 3:00 AM, and I kind of am, but I'm taking some time out to write something here. Life is nice. One of my professors decided to cancel his final and take us to lunch instead. That's awfully nice of him. It has restored my faith in computer science… well… maybe. Actually, when my programs actually work, I love computer science.

Right now, it's raining. It has rained for the past week now. I'm not complaining. I love the rain. I used to like the rain because we never got much of it in Colorado. We would always get snow. I hated the snow. Now, we never get snow. When we do, it's 30°C the next day, so the snow melts. For once, I'd like to have a real Christmas with snow, a fire in the fireplace, stockings on the mantle, a Christmas tree, lights on the house, egg nog and incessant Christmas music on the stereo. Ever since we moved to our new house, Christmas hasn't been the same. Then again, we did get older, and Christmas became less and less of a special event. For me, Christmas changed from a simple, fun time of year to a hassle that became less significant. Plus, the snow stopped coming. (I blame El Niño.) I can't wait until I have my own children that I can indoctrinate them with Christmas spirit. Hopefully, they'll learn to appreciate the winter months like I do. Off the topic of Christmas but on the topic of winter, winter is the most romantic time of year. In the summer, it's just a time for slutty partying on the beach in meagre clothes. In the winter, it's a time to bundle up by the fire with a loved one and snuggle and read a book.

Winter is seven months away. Summer is… tomorrow. Tomorrow is my last day of college for this semester.

I woke up with the theme from Sesame Street stuck in my head.
