♥ snow day part 2

I know everyone's getting really sick of the snow, and I can definitely understand why. My car has about two inches of clearance, so I can't exactly get out and about at the moment, and I'm beginning to miss everyone quite a lot.

But I guess maybe this is what we needed. We're all getting a little older, and for a lot of us, I think the end is getting nearer. I think about all the people that I will probably never see again after next summer, and some of them I will miss, and some of them I will be glad to never have to think about again. (There are a few I can't decide about.)

It's been a long first semester. Friendships have ended and new ones have sprung up in the most unexpected of places. A few couples that everyone assumed would continue to withstand the tests of time fell apart completely, and some rather unlikely ones have blossomed. We've all gotten used to new teachers, pulled some all-nighters, cried over some especially stressful classes.

Maybe rather than spend the whole break flitting around and being generally social, we all needed to just sit home and relax. Everyone's bitching about the snow, saying "I have to get out of this house or I'm going to lose it!" but I don't think that's true at all. I think it's good for us to sit around with our families and drink lots of hot chocolate and watch dorky movies and read books we wouldn't normally have time for. I think it's good for us to miss our friends and significant others, because everyone knows that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

This break has been, for me at least, the most refreshing in a long time. I have a new list of things to accomplish (I hope it takes a very long time), a big stack of books to read, and a lot of hours to work next week. Just when I thought everything was beyond repair, it's all beginning to come together again.

As it turns out, I'm pretty lucky.

♥ the best is yet to be.
