Cold

After I took a shower this morning, I noticed on my computer that it was -9 degrees F outside. A little discouraged, I nevertheless decided to walk the 20 or 30 meters across the courtyard to the dining hall in order to eat breakfast. When I arrived at the dining hall, after about 20 seconds outside, I noticed that most of my damp hair was completely frozen into hard locks. It's quite remarkable that the past few days have seemed like such sunny beautiful days, but one can hardly feel any warmth from the shining sun.
