Where is Nils?

It’s so lonely here without all the other cadets. I’m really glad Alexi and Yoko are here, though. They’ve been really fun to hang out with. We even got to hang out with Carlo in a non teacher/student way. It was almost like old times.

I’ve had a lot of time to think lately, what with all the boredom I’ve been feeling. I wonder, where is Ex-Commander Nils? I hope he really is becoming a good guy again. I also hope, wherever he is, that he’s having a good holiday. If you’re reading this, don’t go back to being evil! It’s really not worth it in the end.

Snow

I love the snow. Well, I love it when it’s falling and for the first day it’s around. After that…not so much. Still, it really is beautiful.

Alan and I went sledding today. Well, we tried to go sledding, anyway. There aren’t many good hills on campus, so we had to run and jump on the sled to get anywhere. It was still fun spending the day outside.

Have you ever noticed how quiet everything gets when it snows? It’s like the world is holding its breath. As much as I love the warmer months, I have to give winter credit. There’s a certain calm this time of year you just don’t find in any other season.
