Buckets and Buckets



So it's the middle of midterm’s week and everyone at the SUMC campus is exhausted. After hours of studying and buckets full of half-semester projects due, we all are glad that the weekend is finally here. Speaking about buckets, it's raining buckets outside right now. And so, after mostly completing a take-home midterm, I decided to take a short walk around the block. As it happens, that short walk turned into a few hours’ worth of walking through mud and rain. When i left my apartment and turned onto the main street, in a direction i have never wandered in before, i saw the leaning towers of Madrid, the two skyscrapers that lean in towards each other over the road beneath. I have wanting to see the skyscrapers for some time, and the distance didn't look that far-goodness was i wrong. On my way, i was soaked through, from my suit coat, scarf, sweater, and t-shirt though the cool air felt wonderful. On my way back, you guessed it, i took the metro. My few hours long walk took about 10 minutes and soon i was home changing into warm clothes chowing down on Gluten Free French bread that my mother sent me in her last care package, smothered in peanut butter, also from mom, and nutella, ready to embark on the rest of my pressing projects. The air today is quite chilly and if the cool air wasn't enough to make me miss fall in New England, the pumpkin scented candles that my mother sent me will do the trick. That´s the most wandering I’ll be up to this weekend. Off to do more studying, typing, and researching!
