hibernation

Well, I didn’t think I would make it through this week, but 4 exams and 1 project later, I am happy to report that I survived! However, I probably got the amount of sleep this whole week that I should have gotten in one night; I looked and felt like death; I lived at the library; and I almost lost my mind. I guess when I say “survived” I mean it in the loosest sense of the word…

Speaking of surviving, it appears that winter has graced our presence early this year. While I’m still hopeful it will warm up and autumn will get the time that it deserves, I’m also aware that this notion might be incredibly optimistic. Darn. Amid this dismal weather I’ve already thought many a time about never leaving my apartment again—at least until the temperature isn’t comparable to the North Pole and the clouds stop spitting horribly cold moisture at me—therefor I bring you this list:

What I need for hibernation:

-a fireplace (but a space heater or heated blanket would do just fine)

-butterscotch chips

-a good book (I’d be fine with reading Gone with the Wind again)

-a visitor or two

-musica

-hot chocolate, or any kind of chocolate for that matter

-slippers

-a few movies (“Sense and Sensibility”, “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, and “Finding Nemo” will do just fine)

-sweats

-a pillow

-and Sophie (aka my dog)

Yup. The above items would definitely get me through; but here’s to hoping we see some sunshine soon! Until then...
