So, it's not my fault, and it's not Logan's fault. It was the weather/car's fault. Yeah. It's been -30 with a windchill of about -40 (Celsius) all day. My car wouldn't start. It always starts in cold weather, so I don't need to plug it in. But no, not today. So, I missed all my classes, and I don't have to go in to work if I don't want to. The car won't get me there--it depends whether I want to take the bus. I'm so not motivated to go in to work.

And honestly, being controlled by the weather makes me feel a little like a wimp. I mean, come on. I live in Calgary, not Toronto. We don't shut down when it hits -20. We keep going, because this is what our weather is like. However, I've been stuck in the house all day, because my dang car won't start.

I can't say that I've been really sad about that, though. It's nice to have a day of absolutely nothing. I should have been doing homework all day, but I haven't been. I've been sitting around, being lazy. It's just that kind of day, with that kind of weather. You want to be curled up with a good book or movie, a huge mug of hot chocolate, and a pillow available for the moment when your eyelids get too heavy.

I have to decide whether I want to go to work within about the next 5 minutes. I'm fine taking the bus there, but I'm not so keen on taking it home tonight. I'm becoming such a wimp. I used to take the bus all the time, but these days, I'm just not so much into it. Especially not when it's -40 degrees outside.

*sigh* I want summer to be here now. Hot, 30 degree weather. On the positive side, obviously.
