Nostalgia and procrastination
I can only spend so many hours doing neuroscience homework. And since my computer is just sitting here on my desk daring me to touch it, I often find myself wasting a lot of time on it. Today is no exception. I started going through my pictures, and then I started going through my pictures of my study abroad in Europe. So now I'm procrastinating and wishing I could go back in time. Even though I was only gone for a few months, it was such a treat to leave my whole life behind me (i.e. my cell phone). Why was I so fortunate to have a life that consisted of traveling through the oldest and most amazing cities, studying and learning about incredible art, eating delicious food, and all the while being surrounded by the most amazing and inspired individuals. Ya, I was pretty lucky. Anyways, here are a few things I miss:
"The Kiss" by Rodin. You can see a picture of something, study it, talk about it, even fall in love with it from what you read in a book. But there are some things that have the power to make your heart stop when you walk into a room and there it is.
I miss reenacting significant events in history, like the destruction of Pompeii, and being the obnoxious Americans.
I miss the intensity.
I miss the random old man from Empoli who I decided to share a bench with. He only had about 3 teeth, spoke Italian, and he was 93. I don't remember a lot of conversations I've had, but I think that one will stay with me.
I miss cobblestone. I miss Brugges, Belgium. The coolest city I've ever been to.
I miss the people that know exactly what I miss.
I miss the forced romantic moments.
I miss the creativity, the movement, and the genius.
I miss the quiet moments and stray dogs.

I said brrrr, it's cold in here!
It's a little chilly here! The town is beautiful when it is all covered in snow. And to be fair, I appreciate the beauty for about 30 seconds before I start complaining of the fact that I have to take the bus to church because my car is under a foot of snow. And I have to trudge through snow covered Harvard Square another 3 blocks to actually get to church. And let's not forget the fact that I have to dig my car out of the snow....BUT it's beautiful. It's also starting to get a little lighter here earlier!! YAY. I still left for school in the dark and came home from school in the dark...but I was also there from 7 am to 5:30 pm. But during my last class I could see through the door that it wasn't getting dark until about 4:45! YAY. And there were only scattered flurries today. Not bad, not bad!
My home all covered in the snow
I took this picture of my street after I came home from church...but in the morning the street wasn't plowed at all and it looked really pretty.
This is what I usually wear to school. I'm pretty sexy these days. Showing just enough skin to keep 'em guessing.
This is my car. Well, there's a good chance that it is my car.

who stole the sun?
So I have a small confession. I traveled back to Boston yesterday after my wonderful 3 1/2 week vacation in Virginia and Utah. I guess the vacation really took a lot out of me, because I was exhausted this morning. I woke up at 9:00, ate some cereal, and decided I was still really tired (plus, I have a cold). So I went back to bed and finally rolled out of bed at 2:00. Uh oh. Does it count that my body still thinks it was noon? Anyways, by the time I got out of the house at 3:00, there was only about an hours worth of sunlight left in the day. Mr. sun, sun, mr. golden sun, please shine down on me!
