Ah, sunlight!

Haiku-a-day:

Mar 23^rd

Caught off guard, sunlight

evicted students from their

flats into the park.

And because it was such a gorgeous day here are ample haikus (seemingly similar, but with different messages).

Proof

Sunlight gushes through

a cloudless baby-blue sky.

Ah, I do exist.

Pathetic Fallacy

Students blanket fields

of green grass and white flowers.

Sun is their life force.

Ah, the glorious sunlight returns, brightening spirits with its glow and warmth, hardly a cloud in the sky!  Today was beautiful.  I went to Hyde Park with some friends (only about a five minute walk from our flat) and did a little bit of pleasure reading in the sun and a lot of relaxing.  You would not believe how many students go outside on a sunny day like today and just sit on the grass with friends, walk around the park, walk their dogs, etc.  Sooo many.  I haven't seen this many Leeds students since I got here!  With my last English lecture of the semester done with and my final English novel completed, I am free to begin writing my final essay for that class and enjoy the sunlight in the process.  See how I snuck in info about my day with the reigning topic of the beautiful weather?!  =P

Still so very excited about Scotland this weekend.  Also, very glad to have been able to skype my wonderful cousin Kelli over in Washington, D.C.  Miss you a ton!!

 Leeds students in Hyde Park.  I wish I had taken a better picture because this does not do justice to the actual number of people that were in the park.

 This section of the park where we sat was empty at first, but within a half hour was teeming with people.
