Season Schizophrenia

I know, all four of you that read this may be wondering, what in the hell Loopy?  But I have come to the decision that I am suffering from season schizophrenia.  This past Wednesday I woke up, and was just kinda pissed.  At what specifically, I don't know, but I was just in a bad mood from minute 1 that I was awake.  I tried on about five or six things, and the best I could come up with was jeans, walabees, a t-shirt, and a pull-over fleece.  I looked terrible, and I didn't care.  I was completely apathetic towards life and school.  Later in the day I realized that my mind was saying, screaming "IT'S THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY!  IT'S TIME TO START BREAKING INTO SPRING, GET THOSE SANDALS AND SHORT SLEEVE SHIRTS OUT AND PUT UP THE COATS AND SWEATERS!!!!"  All I wanted was spring- a good ol' southern/east coast style spring.  One where yes, there high chance of getting a snow day here and there, but there's also the possibility that it's going to be 70 degrees and sunny- so warm that one almost thinks about wearing shorts.  Skirts come out, sandals are thrown on, and a light jacket or cardigan are just barely necessary during the day.  I love those days- crisp yet warm, beautiful with the bluest sky you'll see all year.  My body and mind were telling me that it is time for spring.

Unfortunately Laramie has a different idea.  Thursday night it started snowing, it snowed into yesterday, and a little bit this morning.  Yesterday I ended up having to walk around in it due to going to and from the gym for a non-existent indoor practice, and it was beautiful.  Laramie had that muffled quality that snow gives, where the world is quieter than it should have been, and everything was white and sparkled.  It wasn't terribly cold, so it was pleasant and beautiful.  I love walking when it's snowing, when it just falls from the sky straight down.  I think being a southern kid kinda makes me love it more than most of the people out west, but I can't help it.

And this is where the season schizophrenia comes in- as much as I want spring to get here (even though it's MONTHS away still here), I enjoyed the snow yesterday and today.  I guess I want a little bit of both, but my southern mind is telling me it's spring and Laramie is saying something very different.  Stupid season schizophrenia.
