This is the beautiful view from my window at 8 this morning. It gives me little shivers and made me turn on all the yellowest lights in my room. And I think I should be listening to The Swan of Tuonela, reflecting on life. My thoughts didn't clear from their hazy wake up state, but I did make myself a cup of hot chocolate and think about how happy being warm made me.
I only recently saw that snowflakes really do have those distinct crystalline shapes -- and came to the pitiful realization that they are hard to capture in a photograph. No matter where I tried to land a snowflake, each decided he certainly did not want to be seen, and melted straight away. My windowsill was the closest I could get to a still frozen snowflake. Then, I realized that my camera could not do their structures any justice.
I am pleased to report that I felt a new, stronger wave of motivation after my five hour exam yesterday- only to be helped on by my admiration for Federer and his ability to prevail, and André Previn and his passion for artistic interpretation... le soupir.
I hope - a good week ahead.

Hehe, being warm is indeed a good thing, but sometimes I like feeling cold. I know, I know. I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, good for you! I am still in a very mixed phase. I feel like I want to do a lot of work, but when it comes time to actually do a lot of it, that feeling somewhat...fades a bit.
Sigh.
