petit repos

My favorite smell is when its really cold outside around the end of November on Saturday mornings when the air is dry and the sun is out. One of my favorite sounds is the sound of snow falling, and how after the snow stops falling, it sounds like there is a blanket around everything in the world and it's soft and quiet. I give. Winter is one of my favorite seasons except for the bitter cold of the wind and how it numbs my fingers, toes, nose, and ears completely.

But it's March already. What exactly is Spring doing? I am already ready for its arrival so that I don't have to wear at least 3 layers anymore. I would say that I am looking forward to not having to wear gloves and boots everywhere. Lucky me, going to school in a city where Spring might not start until after Easter.

I am, for the first time in a long time, quite happy about a lot of things. For one, I'm home. For another, I am free to play as much music as I'd like for a week. I've planned to accomplish things: read some Hemingway, write a short piano piece, study for the MCAT, lounge about, and shop. This is another one of my favorites, it's the smell -- of freedom!
