The Weather
I guess when I have nothing better to talk about, or don't feel like talking about anything else, I turn to talk about the weather. This October has been a real roller-coaster in that regard, and temperatures were fluctuating from mid seventies on some days, to bellow freezing on others. If I remember correctly, last year's October was very mild and reasonably even temperature-wise. This year, I guess, no such luck.
This fluctuation in weather really highlights the fact that I am very sensitive to seasonal changes. The weather patterns really affect my mood - I feel very despondent and sluggish on cold gloomy days. Consequently, my work performance suffers. I wish I could handle the whole thing much better than I do right now.
