Mild Winter

This past winter break at home has probably been the most mild, yet! We haven't had a dusting of snow, which has been pretty disappointing to me, because there's something extra special about reading by the fire while white flakes drift outside the windows. I've still been reading by the fire (currently, Lolita, which has the most beautiful language, even though I can't help but feel a little creepy reading it! ha), but usually while the sun is shining outside over the barely-green grass. Despite how mild it has been, though, I still have found myself feeling pretty chilly all the time and this corduroy dress I bought from Silent Sundays has been the perfect remedy. Blame it on my poor circulation. Other things I've been doing over break besides reading: writing, recording music (well--attempting to!), working on art, applying for internships, spending time with friends, going into the city, watching LOST as a replacement for the recently completed 9 seasons of The X-Files (a tragic end of an era...I'll miss you Scully and Mulder), and doing some thrifting. It's been a pretty relaxing break, but I'm definitely ready to get back to school this Sunday! I'm also growing out my hair a bit, finally! I decided it was time for some change, but right now it also means having to stick it out through the awkward in-between phases. It was tolerable for a while, but it's starting to do that thing where it flips out in the back and I'm beginning to get a bit concerned.
