Snow...

I've seen my first real snow storm in over 2 years. That’s how often it snows in Japan. It happens, but rarely. I actually enjoy the snow. It's nice and cold, and has this silencing effect on everything. Especially when it's nice and deep. Sadly, it never got deep here. It didn't even stick. Just left the slippery slushy muck you get from melted snow. Several inches of slush is not a good thing at all. It's slippery, and there's this constant fear of busting my ass. Good thing I'm well versed in snow walking tactics. I finally got my pair of glasses today as well. I haven't worn glasses in a long time. Decided to give my eyes a bit of a break from my bad contact lens wearing habits. Taking some time to adjust to the difference. Everything has this slight fisheye look to it. I can see little reflections at the sides. There's dirt, water, and now snow to deal with getting stuck on the lens. Plus I finally look a bit more studious. Matches my character better. I've finally started thinking about what I'm going to do when I get out of the navy. Only a few years left. A few years seems like a long time, but then again, so did 4... College seems imminent. I'm not too sure what I really want to do yet. Way too many possibilities. I do know that I need to brush up a bit on all the basic subjects. The navy doesn't exactly promote proper writing or speaking for that matter. So while I'm looking into the future, it's still unclear, like staring into the snowy static from bad tv reception. There is a good chance that I'll end up in an electrical field. Mostly because I enjoy working with circuits, and mostly because that’s all I've been doing the past 4 years. So what do you get when you add two mostly’s together? A full reason? Not quite. I'm still working it out, but I'll more than likely impulsively make some un-thought out decision. Ah, but it happens. Just as I'm sure it'll all be alright in the end.
