Walking

Work today felt longer than usual. Probably because I only brought a lunch that consisted of Mini Wheats, but nonetheless, it was a long day. When it came time to go home, I was more than ready to storm out of the office and dash away home.

The walk home was pleasant. My face was completely numb, I felt like my ears fell off back when I first walked outside, but I was charging home. All I could think about was a delicious snack to sink my teeth into while watching the newest episode of Project Runway Junior.

Finally after about 15 minutes of walking in the freezing cold, I made it home! Huzzah! But then, for some stupid reason, I remembered that I forgot to turn in my Physical Science homework. In the T.A. box. Back on campus. I hated everything at that point: no one was home, I didn’t have a car, and I only just began recovering from the cold. However, that homework needed to be tuned in within the hour, so back out I went, grumbling along the way.

Since I didn’t have my backpack on when I headed back to campus, I felt as light as a feather. I zoomed down those streets like it was nobody’s business. Eventually I made it back to campus…huffing and puffing but nevertheless made it. I reached the T.A. Lab, and as the climax to my journey, threw my homework into the box, took the moment in, and then walked back down the stairs to head home.

On the walk home I felt I was one step away from getting frostbite. I touched my cheeks and didn’t feel a single thing. Not even a little sting of warmth from my hands. Then I started to get a feeling of warmth on my legs and thought things were looking up…until I remembered that people who get frostbite feel warm before losing that limb. Yikes!

Finally, after spending too long outside, I made it home, warmed my frozen limbs, made some quesadillas and watched Project Runway Junior.
