I wonder if it's because there are a lot of seniors, and it's the end of the Spring semester? I've seen people counting down the days till it's over, happy and excited, yet sort of freaked out that they're going to walk out of here, ready to tackle life.
By my count, there are something like a couple of weeks left. It's kinda nuts, because the weather changed, the cherry blossoms came out, and then the crazy election season is all that people are talking about. I noticed the difference between living in Washington, and NOT living in Washington, when I left a few days ago to hang out in Philadelphia.
They were talking about poodle salons, and stuff like that. I noticed how strange it was, immediately. I'm so used to being able to walk down the street and talk to any one about policy, or stuff going on in Congress, or what's up with the nominations- but not there. Most people outside of DC seem to not be as tuned to politics as I am!
Yesterday it was pouring rain, so it was kinda crazy. The weather makes no sense sometimes. You can be in DC and it'll be freezing, wind blowing around, and dark. And then you can get on the metro, go a few stops, and pop out into the sunshine (or vice versa). Someone told me it's from the altitude. At first I thought they said "attitude" which made me laugh. Ah, yes- attitude- we got it :)
