Global warming is kicking our ass, obviously.

This past week has been white.

Today, though, there's been a constant dumping all day. There's like 4 inches of snow, maybe 5, and every time I scoop some snow off a car or something there's a new quarter inch on it within 10 minutes.

We've had snowball fights, made snow forts, gone for walks, and played with the dog. It's been a ton of fun. I have to say, I really do love snow, and this is the most we've gotten in a long while.

I've hung out with my brother a lot more than I normally get to, and it's been awesome. The only thing that could make it better is if Erin could make it over here.

I haven't forgotten!

I promise. I've just been distracted by finals.

There's something about finals in law school that makes me completely apathetic about anything else. I honestly could care less about politics, the economy, etfc right now. I don't want to write anything else, reflect on life, or anything like that.

I'll tell you what's weird, though. Every finals week, at the peak of my studying, I get some spark of inspiration to write something fictional. Last winter, it was an idea for a trilogy of novels, and idea I really still like and would love to write some day. Last night, I got the inspiration for a short story. I'm going to take a break from studying and jot some stuff down now, maybe even write a bit.
