Day 9 (9/3 - Thurs)

Today is 9/3/9. (at least in the US it is) It's a square root day! Did you eat any root vegetables in celebration? Today is the last such square root day we will ever know, as there are sadly not 16 months in a year to give us a 16/4/16. Alas.

I enjoyed today by getting outside as much as I could. Simply walking around and taking it in. Stopping to smell the flowers -- like this one right in the heart of campus!



It's times like today that I recognize just how beautiful this place is that I work. I really am blessed beyond measure to be here.
Around dinner time I grabbed up some work and headed out to a nearby park where I munched on fast food while reading Thucydides, and right when I was getting ready to leave I got to watch the sun set into the West in a blazing ball of occidental glory. (now you're all going to look up what occidental means, right?) I pumped my fist in the air and shouted -- because you can't see something that glorious without responding!
