Today was a most unusual day. Everything from studying on Friday to the unusually warm January night made tonight feel all hazy like the thick fog that blanketed the city skyscrapers this morning. I think the feeling comes from doing so many things that I normally do not do, all in the span of a few hours. Add to that the weird weather and the strangely bright night sky, and suddenly, I feel like something is gonna happen. Something's in the air...it's probably nothing though. You know what it is, it's probably that tendency of human beings to expect Big Things to happen to us during our lifetime. Like armageddon, or reaching the final scientific paradigm, or...In reality, though, I predict that tomorrow will come, and then the day after, as normal as any other day. It's probably just a warm front, nothing really out of the ordinary.
