Pale and Pasty

We have been reading The Clouds for Humanities which is an old Greek comedy play about Socrates.  On Tuesday we came to class and Tucker asked us to describe how the students looked at the Thinkery.  The students were scrawny, pale, and sickly looking.  Tucker asked why that was and we told him it was because the students were always inside studying.  Tucker agreed and said that they never got out to enjoy beautiful 62 degree weather.  Then, surprisingly, he told us that was our lesson for the day and to go out and enjoy the weather.  So, to enjoy the weather I went out for a walk with my suitemates.  They had to leave for work so I grabbed my book and went on C Trail to the pond.  I found my tree that branches out across the water and entered my own little world.  It was so nice and greatly needed =)  Afterwards, I went and watched my friends play some basketball, which was real entertaining.  I was outside for about three hours until the sun went down and it got chilly.

Oh!  I was finally able to wear my basketball shorts and a short sleeve shirt with no jacket!  It was real nice.
