I feel dried out and a smell of suntan lotion.

It's brilliant.

I zoomed down to Ocean Grove this afternoon and sat in the sun (cloudless skies + 87 degree temp.) reading Rolling Stone and Shampoo Planet. I walked around, sang as loud as I could on a secluded part of the beach and continued up Route 36, exploring sea towns I'd never visited before. Eatontown, Sea Bright, Sandy Hook, Atlantic Highlands.

Tomorrow, I take my Shakespeare final at 12. I hope I'll be done by 2 so I can head back down the highway and enjoy another warm, sunny day. And finish this wicked tan I started developing today. I even found my suntan lotion with special sun reflecting sparkles! Ha ha ha.
