One of the reasons why my wife and I decided it best to move back to Illinois was to experience four definitive seasons. I absolutely LOVE the ridiculously hot and humid weather. I’m not being sarcastic in the slightest – hot weather is good weather! Winter, however, has quickly become another story altogether.
Winter…where do I begin, here? So far, 2008 has been pretty freakin’ crappy! I’ve had emergency surgery done and I was one of the millions of people who got the flu. While my temperature is back to normal, I now have this lingering cough which absolutely refuses to go away. It’s maddening at times! I feel sorry for my classmates and professors who have to hear me hack at least 15 times per class. That said, I blame the flu which was caused by WINTER!!!!
Another thing - to experience four seasons is great, especially when the seasons stick to their time period. While spring doesn’t technically start until mid-March, in my mind, winter is December through February. March should be warm and in the 50’s. The snowstorm we had last week was just plain ridiculous. I shoveled snow for a good two hours yesterday when I should’ve been studying for my mid-terms! Okay, so that’s my excuse should I be proven to have done poorly on them. But… seriously, it snowed from 9am until 7pm yesterday. And it made me think of something really mean, too! While I love her, Mother Nature is most certainly a witch-with-a-‘b’!
Here’s hoping that spring comes soon!
Stupid Punxsutawney Phil, too! He SUCKS! Here I am wishing that Phil Connors really had killed that stupid groundhog!
Ugh. That’s it. I’m done and am now off my soapbox! I am curious – what do you guys think about experiencing all four seasons? Pros? Cons? Let me know! Until next time…
