Winter is officially here it seems. I think that it has gotten tired of global warming and decided to come at its regular time (which is earlier than in the past little while) the one year that I have decided to bicycle to school year round. To be honest though, I am really looking forward to trying my new studded tires tomorrow and expect that I will just get used to to learn how to deal with the cold. If anything, I will one day be able to tell the next few generations that when I was in University I biked to school uphill both ways through the snow on uncleared paths and not be exaggerating. ( I really do conquer a hefty uphill to and from school every day and if I am not feeling too lazy, I do two hills per direction). The scenery is incredible going through the river valley this fall. I desperately need a digital camera. I have been utilizing the camera in my cellphone (which is better than most built-in cameras in mobiles) but it is not very good compared to 'real' cameras and it is expensive to send photos to a computer.

It is 1 am and if I intend on getting my mom's car back to her in time tomorrow morning (she lent it--I have yet to figure out how to hotwire a car) I had best get some sleep. As such, I am going to cut this ramble short.
