Misconception

Today I realized why I have been looking forward to the Spring Semester so much. I have this subconscious and false belief that going back to school will suddenly usher in sunshine and warmth. I picture the semester, and I picture myself on our backyard facing roof, tanning, sipping lemonade. I think two weeks from now I'll find myself in a very different reality, but in the meantime, I'm going to keep pretending. And if nothing else, I can't get to the sunshine without going through the school, so it's a happy step to happy things.
