Grad School Year One

I'm not enjoying this cold dreary weather we're having. It's not even the rain so much, espescially since i know we really need it. It's the damp, windy cold that's irking me. It's a day short of May!! I know, I know, we've had the mildest winter ever so what the hell am I complaining…
