I really don’t have a lot of positive things to say today. The days are getting shorter and the temperature is dropping steadily. Today the sun sets at 4:29pm. Tomorrow it sets at 4:28pm. I feel like a seasonal depression is setting in.

Out of curiosity I checked the weather back home and right now at 4:13pm it is 72 degrees in Wilmington, NC. I miss 72 degree days. Yesterday the temperature reached 60 degrees and everyone was shocked. The local weather forecasters were all saying to soak it in because that is the last time we will see temperatures in the 60s for months (meaning until May). Right now it is only 40 degrees outside and it is suppose to drop into the low 30s by tonight.

Of late I have really been homesick. I would give anything for a Fish House shrimp burger on Wrightsville Beach. In case you don’t know they make the best freaking shrimp burgers ever; so, if you are ever in the area, I recommend you stop in and order one. Hell, any fresh seafood would be good right now. I talked to some friends the other day and the ocean surface water temperature at the beach is still 70 degrees. It is still warm enough to go swimming!

This is also the first time in many many years that I will completely miss the false albacore, and speckled trout season. No fishing for me right now, just paper writing.

Just one month to go till the semester is over. Well, at least until classes are over; we still have exams. There is so much still to do, but so little time.

I am done bumming everyone out. Hopefully next time I will have something a bit more positive to say.
