Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that an individual’s physiology and emotions are affected by the weather?
In the winter, people tend to be more grouchy and moody, whereas in sunny weather it’s totally the opposite. Take myself, for example: when the weather is good and sunny I become a nicer person, always joking around and entertaining people. But it only takes a couple of grey clouds to cloud up my attitude and the way I act. It’s like a transformation; however I must add that the wolfman was luckier than me because his transformation was over and done with in a day, whereas mine lasts as long as the weather. Now you can't fool me, I know that most of you are like me as well. Take that little area in front of the FEASS for instance; has anybody noticed how full of life and PEOPLE it has become?! Throughout the entire winter not a single soul could be seen; okay I know it was really cold and becoming a live snowman is not a goal in our lives, but even the inside of Coffee Break was pretty empty.
For awhile I had suspicions that everybody but me and a few others were the only ones coming to classes. But a bit of sun did the trick! Magically everyone has reappeared again: “Hocus Pocus”! Now at breaks we all seem to run outside to do a bit of lookin' and seein’ (if you know what I mean). It doesn’t matter if you smoke or not, if you want to be seen and see, that’s the place to be; duh everybody knows that, it’s like the unspoken rule! Watching what you wear is also part of that unspoken rule, heck even I’m dressing better! I think the sunny weather has done me good !
