Snow

Something I didn't think of previously confronted me with the arrival of the first snow. Before when we would take our cars out for the weekend or break, there was no trace of someone living in their cars in the parking lot. No evidence. Now, there are small yellow circles and puddles in the snow that are too obvious to be ignored. So I've decided next time I'm not going to hide the fact that God has blessed me as a male with the sacred ability to use the natural lavatory; I'm going to write my name in the snow. Like marking my territory so all can know, Jon Rand lives here, don't mess. (I might even write all that if I drink enough water).

It's been a while since we've updated, not much has happened. I wake up and I can scrape my name in the frost that's on the window inside the car. The back window can't go up all the way so there's about an inch or two gap that allows cold breezes and snow drifts inside. It makes for an interesting stay. Even though I see my breath when I go to sleep and I wake up surrounded by an inch of frost, the nights are still just as warm. I sleep better here than I did when I was at home for break.

Also the emergency break doesn't work so If we want to run the car for a bit I have to chock the wheels and then slip it in neutral otherwise I lay down and find myself on the other side of the parking lot which is a slight exaggeration but still happened. I got halfway.

nothing else too exciting has happened. The cold gets pretty intense but its not too big of a deal. Still glad we're doing this but I don't mind the fact that it ends in three weeks. Turns out Christmas is going to be big this year and we're short on beds so I might be thrown out to sleep in my car over break to make room (not really. My parent's aren't that cold hearted. But I'll probably do it anyway). At this point I just want to graduate and then play hockey, snow football, snowboard, play music, and pretend that I don't need to be looking for a job.

Also, the snow has revealed that John is more hydrated then I am.
