What? Less than 7 hours of sunlight? Less each day...
Not much new is happening with me right now. Been researching for a paper for my Oceania class. Having difficulty finding good topics so might have to change topics, though I think it is a good one. Was going to talk about how the cultures in Melanesia have changed of the years, looking specifically and which Western technologies and ideas have been accepted easily and which have caused much conflict with traditional beliefs. But they have very limited resources in the library so have to dig through internet sources.
I have created a new pictures site. I am trying Flickr out, see how well it works. Tell me which one you like better. I might keep looking for a site which is easily to upload pictures for at mass quantities so I can put all my pictures on it, but for now they will be divided.
The days are getting shorter. Sun is up around 10am and it is dark by 5pm though Monday it felt like the sun never got to it´s full heightness and just started going back down around 1pm. It really isn´t that bad, we still get some sunlight (for the time being) but it is more that it disorients you for your routine schedule throughout the day, like eating times, sleeping times, and how long to do homework and study for. Tuesday I felt like I was running out of time to do things, didn´t think I would make it to the grocery store, but then realised it was only 3pm. Strange how sensitive our senses are to daylight and not just with sight.
The weather has been schizophrenic lately. Was cloudy, but warming up (about 2°C) most of the ice on the streets has been melting, then yesterday was nice and sunny and bright. Today was cold, wet and windy, and snowed for a bit, but in the evening (around 4pm) there was some sun, and blue sky peeping behind purple-blue clouds, then over-cast with light rain. Who knows what it will be like tomorrow.
We had a chocolate fest this evening to cheer everyone up from the some what gloomy weather. I bought some chocolate fondue for girls´ night, which was suppose to be on Saturday but most people felt tired and lazy and not up for it (and girls from up stairs ended up having their own on the 4th floor with chocolate mint browns, caramel corn and Sex and the City episodes). Anyway, I still had this fondue so, said, why not use it. We cut up some apples, bananas and strawberries and had some yummy chocolatey goodness. Then Tom made some deep-fried donuts (ended up being more like beaver tails, though I have never had a beaver tail, except for these things Tom cooked), covered in sugar and cinnamon.. really tastey.
I still need to go out and get some pictures of the northern lights. I have seen them a few times, but it has always been cold, wasn´t really prepared for walking to a place away from street lights so I could get a good picture. But one of these days I will. I have to. So you can look forward to that.
Out for now.
