After my Calculus class (which is my only class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), I went home, like usual and tried writing my History essay which was due the following day. While I was writing my essay, I heard my mother say it was snowing. And I let out of a sign of disappointment because it reminded me that winter was just around the block. Actually I don't dislike snow that much, I do find it crystal pretty when they are not stepped on, as they keep sparkling at dusk and dawn.
I just hate the result after it stops snowing, the roads and sidewalks are slippery. As you walk, it is embarrassing to slip as you walk on the sidewalk or on roads because I know it is weird to see strangers laughing at you. I really don't like the part where people don't SALT their sidewalk, and make everyone slip as they walk by the house. It is really irritating and annoying when I have to look down a sidewalk for ice, and jump over the ice if necessary. And while driving on the road, anyone must drive carefully and under the speed limit if necessary. If the roads are slippery than anyone would assume they are not, it is likely that there will be a car accident. Basically, I don't like to hear the word, SLIP.
But sometime I dislike more is the weather in general. It is plainly dead cold, sometimes under zero degree, and hard wind blowing. After it does finish snowing, it does not mean slippery road or sidewalk but the will to shovel snow. I just shovel once a season, and I don't know why I am not as active as I was when younger, when I shovel almost everyday with my father. But when I was younger, I always had to face those strong winter wind blowing and hitting my face so hard, making my face freeze. I have to always stack piles of clothes to make sure I am warm enough to stay outside. Sometimes when those clothes stay outside for a amount of time, I could feel the wind blowing right through the clothes, it seems.
The only thing I love about winter is it reminds me that if I am lucky enough, I will get a couple of days break from college. During my high school years, that was what I always wished for, but in the end we always have to make up for it at the end of the school year, which college I don't have to make up. And I love the holiday during winter, I don't know why I love Christmas and the New Years so much. Maybe it reminded me of the good times with my family, when I still thought Santa Claus was still real and how it feel to try to let out a new self during the new year. It just feel cleansing and peaceful to have a long break from school.
I know that some people loves snow, and they tell me constantly how beautiful the snow is. I don't like to argue and disagree with what they like, so I just shake my head and smile. But as I wrote this blog, I knew what the disadvantages and advantages snow has. It seems that SHEBOYGAN PRESS seem excited about the first snow of the fall of 2011, as they posted it on their site. I guess the people in this state loves this weather, but I hope when I grow older, I will leave these snow for the rest of my life. I love warmth than coldness.
