Summer School

June 8, 2008 -- Kingston Rhode Island

I'm off to summer school today. Today is Sunday and it is a travel day. I flew out of Duluth at about 6:10 a.m. to Detroit and on to Providence RI for an 11:37 a.m. arrival. I was met at the airport by Luke, a student at the University of Rhode Island and an employee of the Coastal Resources Center. It was then about a 40 minute ride by van to the Kingston Campus and the Chi Phi fraternity house where I'll be staying for the next three weeks. I just hope the weather cools off a bit. The 90's are too hot for this Lake Superior boy.

The room is spacious but pretty bare. I'm going to have to do something to add a bit of color. The 5x7 family portrait I brought along is not quite big enough to brighten up the walls.

We have an informal orientation later this afternoon but stuff doesn't really get started until tomorrow. I'll go out into the heat in a bit to explore around a little before the orientation and see what the campus looks like. I'll try not to melt.
