Winterburn

How do you cope with windburn and 28 degree mornings when you have grown up under the ever-present, perfect San Diego weather that your family won't stop reminding you of? One word: layers. And the consequences of that long-sleeve shirt, fluffy Northface, and over-sized trench coat that you tie together with a scarf and head wrap? A miserable heatwave that overwhelms you the second you walk indoors. Today, after tirelessly trekking the 13 minute walk from the Greek to Beasley Hall, I entered my classroom with burning ears and sweating palms. I tore off my jackets, only to get goosebumps about 3 minutes later. There is no happy medium with it comes to winter weather in Texas. If it's going to stay this cold, I pray that it at least snows so school is canceled. It's the only good thing that this weather can bring about besides cups of cocoa and cute winter coats.
