Essence of Snow

Buddhism class was fun. We discussed The Four Noble Truths and started to really get into the fundamentals of Buddhism. I'm really enjoying the class. I find the subject fascinating and insightful. To be honest, I think I may begin practicing Buddhism. I'm loving all of the Buddha's teachings so far, and my set of believes seems to match those of Buddhists. If I still feel this way by the end of the course, I'll be converting to Buddhism. I'm serious about this too. You aren't struggling in life to please some big god above, but rather to satisfy and better yourself as an individual. It's a very empowering religion, but also sort of confusing and depressing at parts.
After Buddhism, I headed over to my dad's office. I stepped outside and felt the cool wind blow across my face. It felt good, but sent a chill down my spine. I put my hood up and began walking. The snow is beautiful when it falls in New York. The buildings look so magical with a layer of snow on them. The pure white flakes flutter to the ground and join the chaos below. The flakes turn brown and mix with melted snow to form a fabulous coating of slush. Slush was everywhere, and some puddles were extremely deep. Luckily for me, I was wearing my boots. I trudged through the snow and sludge while looking up at the white dots falling from the clouds above. Occasionally, a small flake would hit my lips. It gracefully landed on my lip, made me feel cold, then would disappear leaving behind only a microscopic speck of water on my lips. I enjoyed the sights while walking. I got to my dad's office, and we headed home. What normally takes 1hr only look maybe 30mins. While turning to park in front of my house, my dad and I got stuck. It took us a long while, but we got unstuck. I got inside and changed into pjs. I relaxed, and that ended my day. Tomorrow I'm seeing Mr. Caster. Then at 6pm, I have a Kappa event (Game Night). I'm excited for tomorrow. Now let me enjoy sleep while I can still get it.
