Winter

Winter gives me the blues. There is almost nothing good about winter. I h a t e it. I think that we should just skip winter and have summer all the time. Here are the bad things about winter :

1. Rain - it rains all the time in New Zealand, during the winter period. When we are at school and are wet, it is not very plesant to be walking around soaked through. When you are standing outside in the rain, there is just something about it that makes me insane. When I am in the mood to play around in the rain and get wet (which is only fun if there is a change of clothes waiting for me afterwards!) then it is good, but it is not very often that I am in this mood. One time when I was, i really regreted it afterwards when i was sitting in English and having to lift my cold skirt off my bare legs. It is absolutely horrible and makes me feel yuk, and gets me sick!! If it is winter, then it should snow, not just rain! It is pathetic!!

2. Cold - with winter, obviously comes the cold. When the wind is blowing, and you are at school, there is nothing you can do apart from hudle up and complain about how cold it is! When it is cold, the heater is good, but there is nothing worse than when you have to pull yourself away from the wonderful device. Getting out of my warm bed (heated by my electric blanket!) is also horrible, the cold hits me like a slap in the face! And similar to this, is when stepping out of the shower..

3. No sun = no tan - in the winter, it is almost always grey and the clouds are covering the sun. This also makes it very cold, and just having a grey sky seems to keep everyone down. Nobody is happy. With no sun, that means there is no tan. As summer fades into winter, so do our G L O R I U S summer tans. I almost cried when I noticed my tan fading. It's almost a crime.

So to sum up winter is bad because there is bad weather, which means bad mood. Everything is just bad bad bad. (ESPECIALLY if you're at school!)
