Wet

The title pretty much says it all. We've had thunderstorms every day this week.

I love it!

During the day, the weather has always been fairly clear and pleasant to move about it. Each of the past few nights, on the other hand, has been full of lots of wet and the sky going boom every few seconds. I missed that for a long time when I lived in Oregon, so it's nice to have that back again.

Classes are finished for the week, and I'm as caught up on my homework as I can be right now. I'm still waiting on a couple of my textbooks to arrive and can't continue reading until they do, but my Prof said not to worry too much about it. So I won't.

Martel had an outdoor barbecue tonight prior to the t-storm, and it was very similar to what happened on the first night the upperclassmen arrived. Burgers, chips, beer, the works. However, despite the presence of beer, it was definitely not your stereotypical 'college party'. Everything was very casual and social, and the whole affair reminded me more of a night at Edgefield than a college social function. I like that. People would get one or two beers out of the goat (more on that in the next paragraph) and would just enjoy each other's company. Did I ever mention how impressed I am with everything this school does?

The beer goat.
It has a beer keg inside a plastic garbage can filled with ice inside it. A tube runs from the top of the keg to the mouth, where the beer flows out. The control for the tap is the goat's left horn, which is pulled down in a fashion similar to any draft beer tap.

This place is amazing.





The weekend's here now, and I plan on getting some much needed R&R in.
