last day of freedom

Classes start tomorrow, but I had today off. Following Dylan's lead, I spent my day of freedom at the beach.

I brought trashy, lighthearted books, a big bottle of water, lots of sunscreen, and let myself bake in the sand next to the crashing waves for hours on end.

At sunset, I walked along the seashore, watching the waves and the cavorting sea otters, and I finished the day with some of the best gelato on the planet: chocolate chip mint made with fresh mint leaves and Donnelly's Chocolate chips.

Wish me luck tomorrow!
