Hey Hey. This is a first entry for my maybe-blog this summer. It is still May of 2010 and I still have my normal appetite (the taste for brains hasn't kicked in yet). Come June, however, I'll be facing some new challenges: living in an apartment off campus, cooking for myself, research with a P.I. who has threatened to lock me out of her lab, turning 21, making some new friends, and the sweltering heat of a U.S. summer. I've never been in the U.S. for more than two weeks in the summer months of June, July, and August. Some people go abroad for summer. I think I'd like to experience that fourth season above the Tropic of Cancer.

What is there to look forward to this summer?
1. Research (I must redeem myself!)
2. Not taking classes (sad story behind this)
3. Birthday (Because you reach age of majority twice, but you only turn 21 once)
4. Kitty-sitting (truth! I'm rather frightened)
5. East Rock and other nature-y places
6. Trips to NYC
7. Meeting up with family
8. Sunlight until after 8/9pm (EST)!
9. Cooking :)
10. Cleaning (I don't look forward to this, really, but I like things to be clean and I like knowing that I should have the time to clean)
11. Time to read for pleasure
12. (Nearly) Guiltless gaming (Sims 2, Wii...)
13. Watching summer movies in theaters
14. Other things (zomg like wut? 5uGg3s7i0nz?)

Last year, I was in an almost perpetual winter because I spent half of my summer vacation in Chile's winter. New Haven in the summer should be an interesting change. I won't get the chance to view the center of the galaxy in the midnight desert sky, but I think New England should be charming in summer. We'll see.

Pip pip cheerio!
