By the way for all future posts or possible post readers the TIME displayed on these blogs is wrong. It's 3 hours slow. Right now it's 12:48 AM. I guess I'm on Pacific time. who knew?

summer in the distance

It's amazing what a nice day can do to New Englanders.

 Today was what can only be called a glorious day. The sun was out, the breeze was perfect, and the temperature climbed to the 70's. It probably hasn't been that warm since October. Days like this convince us that there will really be a summer here, even though it seemed doubtful for a while. Everyone was out playing frisbee, having picnics, throwing  baseballs, or just basking out on the lawn. I haven't seen that many people outside on campus all year. It's something about the first warm day that make people freak out, in a good way. Everyone feels like they must bust out the shorts, skirts, and sandals in case the warmth doesn't last. (They are wise because tomorrow the temp is dropping back down and it's going to rain). My favorite image of the day goes to the frat boys of 123. They brought a hugeeee TV out on their front lawn and all of the brothers were chilling on couches in their outdoor living room. Clever fellows. I bet they barbecue. 

I'm excited for summer, but it seems that my plans have changed. I will be staying out here by school and working for a biotech company. I only hope that it doesn't get too hot around here in the summer. I love days like today - in the 70's, but I am a true MA resident and anything above that is too hot. 

Another bit of good news - I'm going to SPAIN!!!!. Fall 2008 in Madrid. wooo yessss. I guess this, ahem, "travel blog" will get to be written in at least one foreign country.

Peace - i must go get free snacks in the lib.
