WEATHER FORECAST
Today: Mostly sunny and windy. Highs in the mid 30s.
So what’s worse – the end of the fall semester, when it gets friggin’
cold just when finals loom…
Tonight: Clear. Lows in the low 20s.
Or the end of the spring semester, when it starts to get really nice out
just when you don’t want to have to study for finals?
Tomorrow: Not AS cold. Highs in the mid 40s.
Right, I’ll ask again in May.
