It is 70degF in Corvallis right now. The grass is green but not damp. The sun is warm but not roasting (although if it gets to that point, there is some lovely shade about 6ft away). I am currently lying out on the quad where there is a mild amount of background noise...other people enjoying the sunshine and the insane amount of birds that are either spawning or resulted from recent spawning (there is a lot of shrilly chirping going on next to Dryden nowadays)...casually researching African wild dogs for one of my projects as I have a group meeting right after my class that is in 40 minutes. The happiest part of this experience is the sun heating up my jeans, which then heat up my butt and legs. I'm not sure why that is the highlight, but it is. *snorts*
It's a good day to be a college student. Even one that's here much longer than she should be.
