It’s snowing today.
I went running in the forest, in the dark, with a classmate of mine. We took it easy, at a light jog, in order to be able to discuss the broadened security agenda. You see, we have an exam on Friday. And my classmate is one of those really sporty types. He has been trying to get a group together, to go running, but today I was the only one to show up. The crazy, half Finnish person. So he suggested that we should do today’s running session at a slow pace so that we would be able to prepare for the exam at the same time. Always efficient, those young ambitious men.
It must have been the most absurd run I’ve ever been on. Trying to keep up with my classmate while discussing theories about security policy. Having to stop in the middle of a sentence about securitization just to catch my breath. But that’s also a way to do it, I suppose.
To be honest, I think I enjoyed it.
And in the looming darkness, the falling snow was leaving a thin layer of white on top of the blueberry bushes.
