Last foliage?

Being senior is pretty emotionally draining. Aside from all the typical academic and what-am-I-going-to-do-for-the-rest-of-my-life worries, there are times when I walk around campus and think to myself, oh my god, this is the last time I'm going to be on this particular carrel in McCabe library. Ever. Today is the last day I will sit in this chair in Sci 101, dozing off to the drone of microeconomics. Ever.

Forget honors. These constant reminders of "lasts" are scary.

Ice and Snow

Sometime last week Swarthmore woke up to a day of wintery-mix. It was warm (well, warmer), foggy, humid, and raining. As much as the rest of campus complained, I stand by my opinion that it was wonderful. Everything was iced over and you can barely see anything.

The slippery snow looked perfect for sledding.

Even the bamboo outside Kohlberg fell and iced over.

But the weather changed for the (much) warmer yesterday. It was warm and sunny and spring-like. Being able to run in a T-shirt was spectacular, although the iced over sidewalks all through the borough was not.
