rosy-faced

So the groundhog sees his shadow, and immediately we get dumped on!

These photos are actually from my second time sledding, with Loren, Elizabeth, and Jess, earlier this afternoon. Yesterday I went out to the same hill with Brad, Nick, Bill, Bryan, Alex, and Derek. Admittedly, I felt a little out of place, being the only girl as well as the only freshman, but there's other far more complicated reasoning behind that feeling too that I don't really care to elaborate on. It's just another detail of the whole run-with-three-crowds-claim-none scenario, plus I think too much. They're nice guys though, and I had fun. In fact, this Tuesday night Brad and Alex and probably Bryan and I are going to watch Ikiru together, so that should be interesting.

On my way down the hill at one point while I was sledding I hit a rough bump, so I anticipate a nasty bruise to blossom above my ass and change all kinds of colors over the next week. I also rolled over onto some packed down snow at one point so I'm a little achy around my shoulders. On top of all that, my entire body hurts from working out on the elliptical yesterday, dancing a bit last night, and stomping around in snow for a total of four hours within two days. So I'm pretty banged up and sore in general. Call me a masochist, but it's satisfying - winter weather and pain are two things that assure me I'm alive. My body's reactions and recovery are comforting to witness.

Ever the ass of the group.
