Just chillin’ in my partially-unpacked dorm room, blasting Kansas at the max volume while I can, because there are no residents to bother.
I set up my hammock first thing, which was probably a mistake, because now I don’t want to get up to do the rest of my unpacking.
Also, in case you were wondering, Louisiana is still hot and humid. Hasn’t changed.
But, I’m quite...
