Am i really the only one ever at the b'ham sheraton that has sat out in the hallway to catch the free wireless. Seriously? Stop looking at me like that.
Likewise, I must also have been the first person to ever order a sandwich from the subway that did not have any dressing/mayo/mustard on it. She was like "Seriously? No mayo or anything?". Yes, folks i eat my sandwiches dry.
Also, why does the statement "Make sure to meet with me/request stuff from me this week" mean to other people to wait until this week to do so? Um, yeah i had enough trouble getting MYSELF to B'ham. Somehow I failed to pack my 6 foot tall cabinet full of journal articles. Silly me.

Missing winter
I don't like hot weather. I really don't even like warm weather. I'd really prefer it to be between 35-65. Yes, I know I'm a freak and should move to Alaska.
When it's cold out I can wear sweats and sweaters and my fuzzy robe; snuggle up with blankets on the couch. Drink hot chocolate and eat chicken soup. I can run outside, barely sweat at all, and won't see anyone on my evening runs.
I think I seriously have SAD - only in reverse. When it's warm and sunny, I hibernate (can't afford to slather myself in sunscreen everyday). I'm lethargic. I have to wait until 9:30pm to go running, and it's still too freakin' hot. I have no motivation. Everyone is outside, thus i avoid it (I'm strangely anti-social when i go running; I want the sidewalks to myself). I shower 3x a day and change my clothes almost as often (once i sweat, even a little, i feel icky and must shower/change). Yes, I'm a bit obsessive, but sue me, I like to be clean! Summer does not seem compatible with cleanliness, unless you never sweat. I'm not one of those people. I hate wearing shorts - I only have a few pair to run in and I'll only wear them as a last resort. I'm so pale, I blind people when I'm in direct sunlight. Forget about a tan, I burn in 10 minutes outside if not slathered with a SPF 55+ sunblock.
Granted, not having to wear a winter coat/scarf/gloves/hat is nice, as well as not having salt stains on all of my shoes. I like putting the ice scraper in my car to rest (I never take it out though, it's bad luck). I don't particularly like the snow, especially driving in it. Parking at school in the summer is much easier and the department is quieter.
I'm sleepy...need a nap. Never seem to need a nap in the winter though...summer is killing my ambition and productivity...
