Last day of term one

I have one short essay to write today, and the term is complete.

Yesterday was a long day, paper to hand in, exam to write, and a presentation to present. Today is going to be better, it has to be better.

The weather has been wonderful so far this week. Our high yesterday was 80, it is currently 56, and our high for today might, I hope, reach 78. I saw people walking around in shorts and tees. I ate supper on the back porch in short sleeves. I got off the bus and was heading home and met a jogger running down the street in shorts and no shirt. I was sitting in class just before writing the final exam and looked out to see some kind of bush covered in white flowers. Though we could use a long soaking rain, I am delighted by the weather. Interestingly enough, I have become fond of that phrase, and I have not suffered from my usual winter blues this year. There has been more sun, though it still gets dark way too early I have been able to get out and about more than usual. Last week I sat outside in the Court of North Carolina for half an hour soaking in the warm fall sunlight.

Tomorrow I am planning on spending the day doing a lot of nothing. I am ready for a rest.
