not much to say except that there is still snow aplenty coming down and not looking forward to trudging to school in that tomorrow. the roads and pavements might be clear, but this building, with its unsheltered corridors and external staircases, is a major snow trap. the snow is higher than our doorstep, and where the stairs were, a white slope. i tried to go downstairs to take out my garbage and came back ankles sopping wet. in a way i'm enjoying the vague sense of calamity, gleefully writing home to say that we've got a "blizzard" and are probably all going to die. but it's really quite tedious. i feel stifled and restless in here, and have an inexplicable desire to go out and roll around in the snow, or to run through it barefoot. i ate my remaining bacio while fuming to poach and christine about bureaucracy and how i have neither got confirmation for my parents' room reservation for graduation weekend, nor have i got any information from garrett hall about it while apparently half the people i know collected their caps and gowns weeks ago, freely inserting tamades. heh. in all probability they're not letting me graduate or something. hah. poach thinks it's mad to do laundry in this weather, but i've been putting it off for several days precisely because i didn't want to go out in the cold/snow, and then promptly got trapped in here for three more days. so i decided that if this snow doesn't let up i might as well do it now! came back with a lot of snowflakes on my basket of folded clothes. and, i know for sure there is such a thing as a fountain pen monster. because it has come and swallowed my fountain pen again. the fifth successive one. ARGH!!!!!! you have no idea. i just bought this one two weeks ago!!! if i could be granted a wish right now i would wish for an unlosable and indestructible fountain pen. or a fountain pen tycoon spouse.
