Spring has Sprung!

Yes, I did go with a cheesy headline...deal with it =P

After a few weeks of not-quite-characteristic weather (temperature in the 70s in last March, followed by a relatively-chilly April), it's finally getting warm out - in fact, it was 83 degrees today, and weather.com shows temperatures in the mid-70s for most of the next week. This excites me greatly, especially because it means that there will soon be things to do at night!


I spent the majority of last summer at various coffee shops for bands, stand-up comedy, and open mic nights. My favorite event last summer was the Wednesday night Open Jazz Jam at Huntington Street Cafe. They're starting up with Tuesday night Open Jazz Jam, Wednesday night Open Bluegrass Jam, and Thursday night Open Mic in a couple of weeks, and I'm so excited!

Today was spent doing schoolwork, although I did walk a block to Dunkin' Donuts to buy an iced coffee and enjoy some sunshine. My semester ends in 2 weeks, so it's time to really hit the books! In fact, other than a Cinco de Mayo dinner at Acapulcos, most off this week will be spent finishing assignments for my online Sociology and Statistics classes and studying for my Chemistry exam on May 16th.

I'm hoping that this summer will bring me many good things to post about - I know that I've been relatively boring lately, what with the lack of updates and all. Although the winter brought posts about eating and cooking, summer will mostly like be about places to go and things to do.

Well, I'm starting to ramble and my textbooks are calling, but I promise that I'll post again in the next 2 weeks!
