i haven't left my dorm room in two days except for dinner. this bone-chilling winter with temperatures at 6°c has me firmly planted under my blanket. stepping out there? husssh, i'd freeze! what was i even thinking coming to north india? i expected harsh winters, but not this audacity to lock me up all day!
all electronics are chilled out, my hands are too numb to use the laptop, and even woolen gloves don't help with typing. so, these days, i'm pretty much glued to "from what i remember" by stacy kramer and valerie thomas. damn good book, it is! a must-read for anyone into teen rom-coms, adventure, and comedy.
sneaking in a room heater would be heaven right now, you know, just a little bit of warmth. maybe i should have asked santa. it's also been two days since my last shower, but don't "eww" me – you'd do the same in my shoes.
suyash, my dear roommate, wakes up at 6 and gets ready for college before 8! he's so routine-oriented, i admire him. lately, he's even been hitting the gym. damn, what's gotten into him? what secret potion is he drinking? i want some!
and who in their right mind designed the semester 2 timetable with 8:30 am classes every day? were they vacationing in rajasthan this winter? stupid idiot… i curse them under my breath.
something's changed in me. i'm interacting less and spending more time introspecting. i don't know if it's good or bad, but i'm loving getting to know myself, recording my every action. it could backfire though, like with prom coming up. there's this girl i have a crush on, but i'm stuck under blankets most days instead of roaming campus. sigh, i'll think about it later.
right now, gotta focus on studying hard to boost my cgpa this semester. but the cold... and my freezing hands… ugh, they're making it impossible.
on top of that, my expenses are skyrocketing! spending over 20k is a huge deal, especially with 80% of it going towards clothes! no parties, no travel, no fun – just apparel. can't blame me though, my wardrobe had zero winter options. and next month, need to shop for my sissy's wedding (add that to the bill) and a new suit for the zenevia tech fest. goddammmmmmmnnnnnt.
instead, if i'd invested in irfc shares last year, i'd be rolling in returns right now. man, i miss studying and investing markets. gotta get back in the game.
ciao for today, my hands can't type anymore.
see you tomorrow!
