Come winter

This time of year in Oregon is kinda bittersweet. Beacuse I'm from the the bay area (which boasts the most moderate climate in the country) I've grown up without real seasons. Sure it would drop below 40 every blue moon and I thought this was terrible. I used to long for rain but I think I've had enough to last a lifetime and now every glimmer of sunshine feels like Christmas.


I see the tulips slowllllly peeking out of the ground as I walk through campus but knowing that I won't see sun for another 2+ months is discouraging. I'll never take another California winter for granted.


I've even given up trying to preserve my favorite boots; if I try not to get them wet I'll never be able to wear them.


Spring just feels like centuries away.
