Nightmare Weather!

The weather here is abominable. It is seriously in my top 5 list of worst weather ever endured. The high today was 38 degrees fahrenheit and the wind was gusting at near hurricane force strength. It was so strong that an old lady was pushed off the concrete platform at the tram stop and onto the tracks! I found myself having to walk in diagonal patterns back to my flat because the wind was blowing me all over the place. To add insult to injury, it was sleeting and ice pellets were embedding themselves into the flesh of my face. Before I got to my flat, I stopped in at the Netto Mart for a last ditch attempt to improve my demeanor and purchased a bottle of Glühwein (spiced wine that is served warm). When I got back to my apartment, I warmed up the wine, snuggled into my bed with the latest Diana Gabaldon book and completely ignored the turmoil that was going on outside my window. If the weather is like this tomorrow, which it likely will be...I AM NOT going to school. It's not worth it, sitting in a class soaked to the bone and only understanding 40% of what is going on.
