If you only knew

Mother Nature has decided to play a belated April fool's joke with the snow-turn-rain that is keeping me in my room. Days like today make me uncomfortable; the world seems to lose its hum of energy with the grey weather, while I still find myself filled with secret smiles about things I dare not name here.

I have spent hours sitting at my window (re)reading Shakespeare’s Roman plays for my take-home final; enough that earlier today I worryingly managed to use 'alas', 'alack', 'woe', and 'fie' at least once in a ten-minute phone conversation having nothing to do with school.

Between acts I have found myself watching the cars and pedestrians stopped at the traffic lights outside my window. I wonder what they are thinking while they are waiting for the light to change?

How can the day be so quiet when my mind is racing?
