A grizzly bear eats roughly 23,000 calories a day (or so I am told) and Michael Phelps consumes roughly 12,000 calories a day. This has nothing to do with my my post, but it is something I learned in my History of Western Ethics class.
I have friends in high places. Although the 5th floor does not offer the vantage points of a 9th window, this view of the Charles and downtown Boston is nearly impossible to beat. The weather is starting to finally cool off. One of the many downsides to the South was the heat. I have never really been able to stand the heat. At least in cooler weather, a man can always change into something warmer. You are very limited by how much you can take off, however, should it get too hot. The low tonight is supposed to be 37, and for the first week of October, I'm a bit appalled. Where the hell did fall go? The leaves have barely started to change!
It's nice though. Other parts of New England have already started the gradual change into fall. Just the other week I was in Northampton for a Fleet Foxes concert and it was gorgeous. The leaves on the mountain sides and surrounding lakes were beautiful. Fall might be the only thing I miss about the South. Honestly, October in the South is just pretty hard to beat.
The year is going by pretty quickly. Tomorrow I have my first Business midterm. The midterm is supposed to be difficult. My TA (teacher's assistant) said that last year his raw score was a 74, but the curved score was a 93. It does worry me a bit, I'm not sure I'll ever consider myself ready. Other than that, I'm doing fairly well in my other classes. Nothing is too difficult yet, but it has only been the first month.
