Saw the white coldness outside my window this morning, and it gave me a perfect reason not to go to school. I could just stay at home, grab a hot chocolate, snuggle my toes in warm socks and just sit on my couch and listen to Christmas music. “Mmm..” I tell myself. Then the thought of the ISU essay for English and the Human Growth test to write sinks in. I suddenly found myself standing up and walking away from the perfect day I had envisioned. “Fine fine..”, I grunted. I layered myself and made sure no coldness would hit me and spoil my day. I hesistated to open the door, for I know cold wind would smother my face and leave me breathless. As I made my journey out the door, I suddenly felt a nostalgic whisper. It was very light, a very light feeling. Maybe the sight of tiny snowflakes drifting contributed to this feeling, but it was the lightness in the heart that overwhelmed me. I jocundly plunge my shoes in the snow. Then I said, “It’s one of those morning that I have been waiting for..”
