Yes, Virginia, there is a spring term.
We slaved at our computers, churning out six- to eight-page midterms with only clouds to inspire us as we looked out our windows. While walking down 13th Avenue, we kept our eyes trained on the ground when passing others, partly out of the dreariness of watching other students endure the same rainy fate and partly out of pure tired despair.
But now — now we are out on parole.
The ASUO Street Fair takes place this week, and the lawns that line 13th Avenue are filled with the happy and the go-lucky lounging in the sun, laughing and frolicking and eating yakisoba noodles. The food vendors and clothing vendors are cheerful as well, initiating the campus into the wonder of the season. They will be here until Friday. Visit them. They will make you happy with their temporary trinkets, their shish kabobs and hemp bracelets. April showers? Forget about ’em.
