The first day I came into Colorado, it was about as cold as Madison when I left. But that was the only cold day I've experienced here. Every day has been in the 60s, which is fairly unusual in Colorado's December, and I've been running around without a jacket or a hat for the last two weeks. It's been great!
Of course, this will also make the transition to Madison's winter so much worse. . . Now that I've had a taste of Colorado's great weather, I'm not sure if I want to go back!
A day in the life of a girl who's finding herself after her Ph.D. program. Consider this a look into the daily (or not so daily) doings of such a person. Yay! You know, I ought to be using the term "quotidian" for my "daily doings." Meh.

Finally home (but not home free)
So I finally made it back to Colorado on Thursday. It was a literal full day of travelling. I got up and took a cab to the Memorial Union at 6am,travelled by bus to Chicago from 7am-noon, got on an airplane to Colorado from 2:40-4:50pm, went to my parents' house and ate dinner at LD Buffet! from 6:00-11:30pm, and then finally made it to Greeley at around 12:30am.
I literally slept all day on Friday. I wrote my 2nd to last paper for a while, went to bed, got up and finished it this afternoon (well, I consider it finished!).
So that leaves me with this evening. I think I'm going to sleep some more. . .
Sadly, Colorado is getting about as cold as Madison was earlier this week. Unfortunately, I didn't bring anything to wear from Madison for the cold. I decided that my Madison coat (down coat that makes me look like the kid from A Christmas Story who can't keep his arms down) would stay in Madison. It's a symbolic gesture. . . shedding my Madison persona for Greeley (yeah, right). So, I'm now just freezing a little. . . oh well.
Oddly, I have fallen completely in love with my Ugg knock-offs for the cold weather. Although they aren't technically waterproof, the snow and wetness do not infiltrate the thick layers of faux fur that surround my bare feet. Plus, they're pink!
