Christmas break-Snow in Dallas??

So, I hardly got any snow over the break at my parent's house in Pennsylvania. The most snow all of break was during the wait on the taxiway in Dallas as the plane had to be de-iced. It was 27 degrees in Dallas when I flew out and 56 degrees when I flew into Philadelphia. Hmmm. Although a bit miffed at the lack of snow in Pennsylvania, I decided to pretend there was snow and build a fire in the fireplace at the folk's place almost every night I was there. I really wish I had a fireplace here in Texas, especially because there is no central heat in my house right now. But, all in all, break was really good. I had time to relax. I read a little bit. I read C.S. Lewis's The Great Divorce. I would recommend it, especially if you don't have time to read one of Lewis's longer works. This one could be read in an afternoon, but it does have a lot of ideas that will make you think about your perceptions of the afterlife and how what we do here has a cause and effect there.

The Mindless Monotony....
I haven't blogged for awhile. In fact, my last post was posted by somebody else. I took the quiz, and apparently I am Seattle, but one of my friends hacked into my blog and posted that for me. Funny, really. I'm not very political. I've never even voted. Not once. Maybe I never will. My life has taken on a mindlessness. The rabid routine of monotony continues. Wake up in the dark, go to work and follow it with lunch, then work again, then home to homework. I'm just killing time until I leave for Christmas break. I need a Christmas break, and I'm glad I get to go to Pennsylvania. I'm hoping for snow. LOTS of snow. I'm looking forward to just hanging out with my family, and maybe even reading for leisure. Not that don't have a lot of stuff I need to read for class, but I'll leave that for later. Maybe I'll even think of more interesting things to blog about, because this post is pretty boring, especially if you're not me.
