Cold

So yeah, it's pretty fucking cold today. It was like 30 when I walked out of my building for school. When I left school for home around 9pm, it was 20 and snowing. Welcome to Chicago. Some good news-it's much easier to study in weather like this. You don't wanna leave school, and there's nothing to do at school besides study so things work out allright. More good news for all my beloved fraternity boys back home-Chicago is a climate in which wearning Northface is not only appropriate, but necessary. So, in theory, if any of you were to move here, you couldn't immediately be picked out as a frat boy. I guess that's a good thing, unless you think that title is cool or if you want to continue to be identified with a group of friends you bought. But hey that's another blog and I'm drifting from my point about cold weather.
My advice of the day came from the always wise Ms. Wheels: "You're gonna need a thicker coat." Yes, yes I am. Hopefully I can weasle one out of my parents this weekend when they come for Thanksgiving. Oh, that's another point entirely worthy of going off on a tangent. So, my parents are coming for Thanksgiving and I suppose I am technically "hosting" my first Thanksgiving. It's kind of strange-you always think you'll host your first Thanksgiving at some house in the suburbs or at the very least with a significant other at an apartment in the city. But nope, just me. I gotta do the grocery shopping, clean, all that jazz. I actually think it's really cool. I'm really looking forward to doing that stuff on my own, feeling like a real live adult and everything. My mom is coming up with all these cheesy traditions we can start if we maintain Thanksgiving in Chicago for years to come-plays, Michigan Ave., fancy restaurant on Friday. I say it's cheesy, but you know I love it.
