It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair

Yup, my life is just wonderful. I'm doing great in all my classes, getting enough exercise and sleep, and having loads of fun hanging out with my many friends. It's really wonderful out here, and I couldn't complain. Things looking up for the future, too, I could see myself easily getting any project on campus and spending this summer in a good internship, no problem.

Ok, I can rattle it off with a straight face now. I'm ready for my parents' visit tomorrow.

What's that? I'm a horrible, horrible person? Shut up and get me a coffee, igor.
