it's like being four again

Tonight is magical.

Icicles in the trees and every branch crystalline. I made a snow angel outside the library; my toes are numb, my socks wet and I shook an inch of snow off my coat hen I got inside, but it was worth it.

Envy envy envy. It always conspires to snow in Cambridge when I'm not there. Snarl, thwarted aestheticism.

Cycling to 9am lectures in two-inch slush isn't particularly aesthetic. Are you going to come back to visit any time soon?

I made angels too when I was at my mother's for xmas. I made 3 infact. I miss being in colder climate and ofcourse just snow. I throughly agree, laying in the snow, giggling, moving like a puppet, and seeing the sky... regaurdless of wet jeans, and cold bunbuns - all worth it :)

p.s. so glad you're back. i've missed you

I was hoping mine would freeze overnight, but when I checked back in the morning it had melted. The best and the worst thing about snow is its transience, like nearly everything worthwhile.

And ... thankyou. I'm glad to be back.

Sort of vaguely planning to head briefly back for the King's Mingle, and maybe sometime in Lent term. That and coming back properly next year, of course.

It could be contended, with some validity, that going to lectures at 9am is not something to judge anything's aesthetic in the light of.
