Monday 14th January.

Monday 14th January. A beautiful January morning--have class all the day. Have many assignments to finish and not enough time. Must do some reading. It's early and I'm always the first one up. Allows me time to prepare. Hear people up and about. Veronica is here. Wants to go to meal hall for breakfast. I don't look forward to the food there. Must remember to call home later. Sarah, Jill, Ben and Myles are all going to breakfast. I eat the same thing every morning. I think I need to try something new. The sky is an eerie grey colour but I can see the sun trying to peek through. I have hope that it will be a beautiful day. The morning 'round here always start out grey and dull. Sometimes it changes into a beautiful day. There are students scurrying around everywhere hurrying to get to class. See my friend Joe and stop to chat. He's got a new girlfriend. I hate being in a hurry and I like to take my time enjoying every minute of the day. Class is done now and I feel energized with the joy of learning. I love to learn. Went downtown this afternoon. Had to get some water and toothpaste. Weather turned out to be beautiful. The sun shining on the fresh white snow is breathtaking. Late afternoon--the sun is beginning to set. The sky is sublime. Many different shades of pink outlining the horizon. Stopped by Veronica's on the way home. We drank warm cappuccino. Very comforting on a cold winter's eve. Back to my room now. Called home--gram's 86^th birthday today and she's doing well. Time to read for class. Can see the snow falling outside my window. Each snowflake sparkles and glistens illuminated by the moon. Finished readings for all classes. Very productive day. Time to rest.
