Yaay! Congratulations Nienna. Welcome to Boston!

Continuing the academic theme...

1. Having finished and handed in my first major assignment for the year.
2. Finding that the coding exam everyone was so freaked out about was actually quite easy.
3. Being able to get a good night's sleep for the first time in ages.

Non-academic:

Jumping spiders. They're so cute.

In about three months I'll be assigning her to Mordor, but for now: the sun.

I second your assignment, Rikae! We finally have reached 80 down here. The gardeners are out in force, flowers are blooming, the rivers are overflowing, our cattle stock is overflowing with little heifers; spring is almost as fun as Autumn!

I don't know how much is 80, but we have 20 here and it's great. And spring really deserves to be assigned here

EDIT: Wow. 3,999th post. Now, I guess the next one will make it: It is going to be my RPG post, so I hope it will do it justice.

P.P.S.: Eeeek. 4000 posts it will be? I remember when I saw that Saucepan Man had as much as that. I would have never thought back then of reaching such a sum. Scary!

80 is equivalent to 27 degrees Celsius (while 20 is 68F). That would be summer weather for me. I'm quite envious of everyone experiencing such nice weather. Over here the weather has consistently stayed between 40-55F (5-13C) during the day with lots of rain and wind, though the sun will occasionally peer out. A typical New England spring, I suppose, but I really do hate this in-between weather and am ready for something warmer...

How do you not melt‽

I'm with Legate on this: 20 is good.
