Nice Weather Makes Ice Cream Taste Better

In the same way that a muffin tastes better with a spoon, warm weather makes the flavor of ice cream so much more satisfying. The whole thing is mental but when the temperature rises into the mid sixties on an early day in March who wouldn't be excited for the cold promise of hot summer days that ice cream gives.

David, Tyler, Nick and I couldn't resist the coolness of ice cream and the temptation of a last minute adventure before the warm day drew to an anticlimactic ending with architecture history class. We practically ran from studio down to where David's car was parked, our excitement was so high. The windows rolled down and music jumping from the speakers, David pulled out onto Main St. without any other directions save for the group craving of a cool sweet treat. After little discussion, we pulled into a Dairy Queen a few minutes away from downtown Kent. The restaurant was empty but hardly dampened out spirits as we each ordered different flavored Blizzards. We went outside to sit, eat our ice cream, and enjoy the beautiful day.

The short excursion was refreshing; it felt good to be so carefree. I was, and am still, lucky to have such fun and spontaneous friends. It is spur-of-the-moment ideas like the ice cream run that will keep us close and sane during our studio career.

In short, thank you to my studio friends for being wonderful.
