Wonderland

Now, does that title refer to the fact that it's finally SNOWING outside (hurrah, last Sunday of Advent, how very symbolic), or that I'm tumbling down the rabbit hole? Hmm.

The first snow always makes me happy -- eventhough two months later I want to kill it all. But this snow will hopefully take my mind off the fact that the International Programs office is being retarded AGAIN (and possibly I may have helped a little in this retardation by missing a deadline -- *gasp* A missed a DEADLINE? That NEVER happens. Well children, it did).

Snow is like a new beginning, wiping out the ugly face of receding fall with all its mouldy leaves, and leaving a sparkling surface. Today I will do laundry without complaining. And make J work too, with all the patience of a Saint (stop laughing). I already remembered to water the poinsettias (which were dying, hangover collateral damage) and put water into the humidifier. I've also found the pdf I needed from the IPO WITHOUT THEIR HELP, and will fax it to them, like the good little exchange student I really am, as soon as I get all the stupid information filled out. I really wish I could be exempt from all this Safety Planning Record crap because, p.s. MY PARENTS WILL BE THERE. What else can you possibly need?

Okay look at the snow again and breathe... starting to lose my new face happy feeling. Snow! Hurrah!

Cheers
