The coldest day in January...so far

Today is the coldest day we have had so far in January. Last night it was –30 and today at school it is -22. Tomorrow it is forecast to be -30 during the day. Hence why today is the coldest day…so far. I don’t mind the cold. It’s just when I look out the window it’s a brilliant blue sky and amazing sunshine, then I look down and see everything snow-covered, remembering that while, inside, I wear tee-shirt and jeans, outside it’s a mild *cough* freeze your ass off*cough* -22. Some very weird little kids were rolling around in the snow before in shorts and tee-shirts.

So the cold is different. And another big difference…I’m getting better at school.
I got a bit of a shock with 92% in math class (seeing as the average was 78%), a 79% in history and a whooping 80% in French (where as before the teacher gave me no mark as he preferred to avoid reading the grammatical horrors in my essays). So maybe I got some special lucky charm going on with the snow.
Going to play ice hockey Friday night, snowboarding Saturday and I’m going to have a go at curling *quiet giggle* Sunday. So I think I’m taking the opportunities to indulge in winter sports.
