Finals Week

Finals Week is upon us and so far things have been pretty calm. A lot of people are studying . The computers are full of people finishing papers and the quiet rooms are all full of people taking tests. So we are calm as a beehive: full of activity, but everyone knows what they need to do and they just do it.

The weather is sunny and warm. One of those Del Norte days that reminds you why you live up here so far from the rest of civilization: it is absolutely beautiful.

Yesterday on a drive out to Gasquet to see some exotic and area specific wildflowers, someone said, "some people travel hours and hours to hike this trail. We get to live right nearby it." We really are lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

So soak up the sun, study outside if you can and then breathe in all the wildflowers while you wait for your next exam.
