Hello all.
Wow, would you look at that: only 4 days of class left (including the final).
Seems like only yesterday we were boarding the scary puddle-jumper airplane to Ithaca.
The 4th of July weekend was interesting, with a dance, a trip to the Farmers' Market, and a trip to the Ithaca Commons.
Although there were no fireworks on the 4th, there was a dance on the third floor of Robert Purcell Community Center. After first debating whether or not to go, we all finally decided to go check it out and ended up having a really fun night - free of studies, stress, and Plato's Republic.
Oh! And we're getting salsa lessons on Wednesday from our new friend Patricio from Puerto Rico.
And so ends the first day of the last week of summer college, and the last week before we all get to have a "free" summer ("free" pertaining to AP summer assignments and such).
Well, I have to go finish reading The Communist Manifesto for lecture tomorrow.
Signing off.

Thanks for sharing, Chelsey. Loved the photos.
How can class be winding down when you just got there?
I'm sure that all of the parents really feel good that you've all met a smooth good looking guy that's going to teach you some dance steps. That's what every parent wants to read about when their young and impressionable daughters go away from home.
What kind of place is Ithaca without fireworks on the 4th? You're still in America, aren't you?
You kids look so happy and your blogs reveal just how much you are learning and growing. What an opportunity you students have been given and you are all surpassing our expectations. Can't wait for an article for the etree!
