Why sunshine is ruining my life

Here's the deal: Colorado is sunny, abnormally sunny, it turns out, and it spoiled me. I NEED sunshine. All the time. And if Colorado wasn't perfect in my eyes before, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Minnesota is cold, wet, and presently, flooding. But, on a few glorious days, it is sunny. Now why, why dear God, could those days NOT fall on days when I have nothing better to do?! I have papers to write, outlines to make, studying to do, and it is beautiful outside. Lame.
So, what do I do? Cave, of course. I invent reasons to just "run over to _____" for a minute for stuff I "need." Next thing you know, I have literally become transfixed by its glorious rays and can't---seem---to---go---back----in--side. Sunshine is ruining my life. Ok, maybe just my studies. And since Law School is my life, you can see how this is problematic.
So, to resist its evil powers, I hunkered down in the cave that is our student lounge where I can't even see sunshine. To my surprise, not one soul was around. No blaring March Madness on the TV. And it hit me: I could finally watch cable! Whatever I wanted. No annoying Sports Center!
I looked around to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Yes, in fact, I was the only one around, and the TV would be all mine for 30 blissful minutes while I watched HGTV and ate my lunch. And, now, I am restored.
6 more days until Spring Break. Then, as you can imagine, it will snow or rain, or some other disastrous weather feature when I finally have time to enjoy the sunshine. Fortunately, there's always HGTV.
