It's cool

As november is approaching, nature is beginning to display a magnificent palette of shades of red, yellow and orange. Autumn colours take over the city and the surrounding mountains peacefully. The ever-fresh Hokkaido air begins to cool down slowly, people begin to turn on the heaters and wearing more mufflers and layers when going out. As we are living the last days of october, daytime celsius is approaching ten degrees. Some nights it's quite cool, maybe about 2°C. Why am I talking about degrees and such, it's not even wintertime yet. Well, it just so happens that due to Hokkaido University's strict budget on energy expences, the heating in the campus area, and in the surrounding dormitories, doesn't get turned on until the beginning of November, which means that as I am sitting here in the common room of Ryogakusei-kaikan, typing this blog with my cold hands, the temperature in here is about 13°C. For silly people who speak in Fahrenheit, 13°c means 55.4 degrees Fahrenheit. So, I decided to write this blog in order to keep me warm, but now I feel I have failed. In effect I feel cold. I noticed this as soon as I had finished the hot cup of caffe latte. Perhaps next time I'll bring a whole thermos with me. What a warming thought...If I keep thinking this way, I might get warm soon. Right? Right... Maybe I'll go do something smarter than this. A complete waste of time this was. Half an hour of sitting and writing while trying to maximize my brain activity to produce more articulate sentences, and all I end up with is a cold and a bad blog. The latter of the two is by no means unusual, I tend to write bs a lot, but the former one is something I'm not interested in experiencing. So, on that note, I had better go and do something preventive as far as the cold is concerned, the bad writing is something I can do little about. Remember to dress up warm. I'm out like Tony Danza. Peace.
