It's pretty clear that winter is fast approaching little Grinnell, but thankfully it has not yet arrived. I'm not particularly looking forward to the oodles of snow we're bound to get, but once winter overtakes I'll adapt and survive just fine.
In the meantime, I've created some clever ways to survive the colder, snow-less days:
1. Since I refuse to whip out my winter jackets until there's actually snow on the ground, I'm getting by with layers. Lots of them. Before I leave this computer lab to go to my dorm, I will add a sweater, a fleece pullover, and a sweatshirt to the t-shirt and long-sleeve shirt I'm already wearing. It's pretty entertaining for other people, I think . . . whenever I walk inside a building I have to stop and wrestle off about three layers. :P
2. I've whipped out the famous and well-loved purple hat. In case you haven't seen this remarkable icon of fashion, I'll upload a pic tomorrow.
3. I also refuse to use my heavy gloves, heavy scarf, and warm boots, figuring that if I can't survive the low 30s, I'll never survive the weeks of 10 degrees.
4. And now you all wish you were in Iowa awaiting winter, right? :)
