According to the Koninklijke Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut, KNMI (roughly translated into Royal Dutch Meteorological Institution), this year's winter officially starts tomorrow morning at 7.08 am. I don't believe in the predicting precisely when the Sun is perpendicular to the Tropic of Capricorn. I believe in judging when it's winter by cycling to and from Wassenaar daily and timing how long it takes for fingers to go numb and for ears to become red. And a couple other things.
This week was the first time since the summer that I wore two pairs of gloves, two pairs of socks, extra layers of clothing and wrapped my scarf around my neck twice. I have even worn gloves in class because it was so cold. I plan to wear a legging under my jeans next time I need to cycle a long distance.
On Thursday night I had to cycle back home from the centrum around 2:30am. One word: ouch. Stephanie was cycling pretty slow because Lotte was tagging along on the back of her bike so bottom line; we took ages getting home. I came home feeling like a TicTac mint -- hard and icy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Soooo yeah. Screw Coke, I'm drinking my Malibu or rum pure next time. Keeps me nice 'nd warm in these cold winter months. And if anyone asks - blame the weather for the red cheeks.
And, oh, global warming? Screw THIMUN and its changing the world ambitions, this UNICEF delegate is totally for climate change!
