Beach day

On Thursday, for the first time in way too long, I went to the beach. Just the thought that I was there in the middle of the week made it wonderful. That and the hot sand and the sun and my diet cherry 7-up. As I said, it was wonderful. I brought some senior project reading to make myself feel productive, but I spent a good chunk of the time just people watching. A few of my favorite finds were a chubby baby wearing a swimsuit stretched tight over her diaper, a semi-gothic teenager wearing her black cut-offs and holding a black and white beach blanket, and a college student napping with his Economics textbook over his face. Even though I was only there for an hour, it completely changed the tone of my day. Well, it did until I had to drag myself to Spanish. I'm making a resolution to go to the beach more often. Something tells me this will be one of the easier resolutions I have ever made.
