So I guess it's about time I started a blog since I've been part of this website for months and have nothing to show for it. Well, let's start w/ the obvious. The weather. Wow, Carbondale is like one big glacier. Snow covered by ice everywhere. I'm from Chicagoland, so I'm used to ridiculously cold winters, but never have I seen such a thick later of ice on top of snow. It's ridiculous. And I don't know what they are putting out around campus, but it sure isn't salt. It's more like they're just throwing dirt everywhere.
Just 3 days ago it was soooo nice out. Saturday was shorts weather and now this. Well, I guess the only thing to do is turn it around and find the beauty of it all. Every tree and bush is covered w/ a layer of ice, and they each seem to sparkle differently from one another. The needles are still green on many pine trees, and the ice around each one makes the trees seem like they almost glow green. That's one thing I've been able to do better since I've come down here. Finding a little bit more beauty in everything, even if it's usually mundane.
I'm continuing to work on a tv show on spc-tv called "What The Hell". It's supposed to be a slightly more exciting version of campus news and goings on. Our 1st episode aired last week, and the 2nd one will be rerun this coming sunday at 7:30p.m. We haven't had much luck finding new crew members to help out, but we haven't given up hope yet.
Classes are the same as usual, boring. That's just like the rest of my life. It's not that nothing ever happens, just not much. I spend most of my time just sitting in my room w/ my roommate. Hopefully that changes soon though. Well, I guess that's enough for now.
