Happy Winter Solstice!

What was once a deathly concern is now a convenient metaphor: from here on out (until the cycle begins again) the dark night will stop consuming the bright days, winter will linger but spring will return with the prolonged shining of the sun.

I’m not sure if there’s a connection between all of this and the fact that I TURNED IN MY LAST PAPER OF THE SEMESTER TODAY!!!

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone. Here’s wishing lots of bright happy hopeful shininess in your lives.
