10/19 Cold Weather :(

I decided that since all I've been doing all day is freezing my butt off, that I'd talk about how the weather is changing. First off, I need to explain how much I dislike cold weather. It is the worst! Many people say they would rather be cold than hot because they can always put more clothes on to stay warm, but I think this is ridiculous because I personally hate layering on clothing. I feel like my movement is restricted. Another problem about wearing tons of clothing is when I walk into a building and they have the heat on or its warm inside, so I end up sweating like crazy and being miserable! It really bugs me that businesses and schools want to keep their buildings cold in the summer and hot in the winter. I don't want to have to bring a scarf and gloves everywhere I go during the summer and then strip down during the winter. It makes no sense to me. I am a naturally cold person, so me and winter don't get along. My hands, nose, and ears are always like icecubes. I love the outdoors, but I hate being outside when it's cold, so I don't spend a lot of time doing outdoor activities during the winter. This makes me sad, because I love sports and nature.
I also hate winter because it's hard to play ball in the cold. It's hard to find motivation to play when it is 30 degrees outside :( I don't want to move to catch a ball. I dread hitting because it hurts my hands, and most of the time, coaches won't let their players wear hoodies when they're on the field so it's even worse!
The only good thing about this season is that Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, and New Year's fall during this time. I always look forward to Thanksgiving because I get amazing, home-cooked meals when I visit my family in Alabama. Everyone loves celebrating a birthday, unless they're over-the-hill that is. Christmas is a joyful, happy time with lots of lights and decorations. Families come together. For the most part, Christmas is a good time of the year for me until my mom starts freaking out about presents and plans. Then, the new year roles around, and I feel like I get to start all over :) Spring comes, and I get to be excited!
