A Conversation About the Weather
I walked in to Lewis Hall and saw many other students from class on the hunt to find their object. Cassie Burnside was searching for her nickel when I spotted her talking to the work study student in the lobby. From the frustrated look on her face I could tell that he didn’t have what she was looking for. When I walked over, she introduced me to him. His name was Colin Higgins. I had never met Colin before but I found out from Cassie that he dates a girl that I know who also goes to Morningside. So I took the opportunity to ask him about the weather.
“What do you think about the weather today?” I asked. He said in a tone that implied distaste, “The weather is cold.” Pretty short, sweet, and to the point. I then proceeded to ask him what his favorite season was. From his previous answer the next response I got was the last one I expected: Winter. According to Colin this type of cold weather that we are experiencing today isn’t very fun. “There needs to be snow. I like to go snowmobiling, sledding, and skiing.” When he fully explained his reasoning I began to agree with him. My favorite season is Fall, but I also enjoy going snowmobiling and sledding. The cold weather seems to be a lot more bearable when there are fun things to do outside.
