April 10

What is it about sunshine that can immediately put a smile on your face? Well, sunlight acts like a zeitgeber on the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus--wait--you didn't ask for a nerd response? Science aside, sunshine is lovely and I tried to take in as much of it as possible. After the lamest cooking class yesterday (jams and canned vegetables, really?), I was dying to be in the open air. I window shopped and wandered the city, mostly following sidewalks that were in the sun. I am incredibly appreciative that I have established my sense of direction within the city center. At the beginning of the semester, I had a few too many of those "time to formulate plan B because I am never getting home, ever" moments. The same urgency to take everything in that I had at the beginning of the semester has returned. Time is tickin' and I want to make sure I have fulfilled by bucket list and more.
