Learning to pretend there's more than love that matters.

I've been pretty solidly avoiding updating this thing lately because I basically convinced myself that I am huge douche who writes lame things. Anyway, on a whim I read some of my old posts from last term and decided at least I enjoy having a somewhat entertaining chronicle of my life so I'm going to push through. Winter term has not exceeded any expectations so far but I am rather horrified at the realization that I'm nearing the middle of 4th week already. Where does time fucking go around here? It just kind of gets swallowed up in an endless cycle of snow, barometric pressure headaches and school and before you can even take a decent shit your girlfriend has moved back to her parent's house and you're nearing 5th week having completed none of the intended 'mid-term' goals. Angsty wise-cracks aside, Kate doesn't live here anymore and it's not my favorite thing in the world. I always knew she would finish teaching and move home but thinking about it and living it are 2 very different things. Aside from all the fun stuff being less fun because she's not here, even the un-fun stuff sucks more... washing dishes is way more pleasant knowing that someone will notice and give you a thank you smooch at the end of the day.

Anyway, it's snowed probably 4 inches since dinner, which means the snow plows/blowers/dump trucks are due outside my window any moment now.

Is it possible to be upbeat during winter term? I'm thinking not so much.
