Okay. Got my tests over with. Now I can relax a bit.
It was a beautiful day today. In every way possible.
I had two tests today. One I really wasn't sure if I had studied enough for it, but when I got it, I realized that I knew more than I thought I did. My second test was online, but we got to review for it in class today.
But it was super nice outside today. It's been nice all week--cloudless and warm. Today was the warmest, and it's supposed to get into the 70's by Friday. It's funny how people in the northwest react to sun and warm temperatures; the shorts and flip-flops and sunglasses come out in full force. I found myself a part of this as well, donning a skirt and my TOMS and my sunglasses. On my way to my second class today, I left pretty early so I could get lunch. I got my lunch ($5 box of Chinese food from one of the food vendors that comes to campus) and sat out in the sun. I then walked across campus. Finding myself there still about 20 minutes early, I plopped myself down on a bench and read in the sun.
I was done with class about an hour later and went back to my dorm to take my test, which I finished in about 20 minutes. I knew I still had homework due for tomorrow. I had to listen to a few podcasts and find a TED Talks video for my journalism class. But my gaze shifted toward my window, beyond which the sky was a blue I hadn't seen in a really long time...I really didn't want to spend yet another beautiful day inside studying.
Then one of my friends came into my room and asked me if I wanted to go sit outside and do homework.
You can probably guess what my answer was.
I took my computer out with me to do some homework (there's wifi EVERYWHERE on campus) but since my battery is really bad, it only lasted me about 45 minutes. Then I just sat there fro the next hour and a half, until it was time to go to dinner. Reading. Talking to my friends. Soaking up Vitamin D. Enjoying the day as much as possible.
