Today was the first sunny day in a week. As usual
Christopher and I enjoyed what little sunshine peaks through this part of the
world and took a brisk walk through Essex Woods.
Although our walk was short, it was certainly
eventful. We were strolling through woods, admiring the trees when suddenly a
GIANT basilisk slid straight from the Chamber of Secrets and began to attack!!!
I unsheathed the sword of Gryffindor, shielded Christopher from its poisonous
fangs and slayed the foul, despicable beast. The tears of Fawkes the Phoenix
were required to heal my wounds, but Slytherin’s slimy pet was no more…Ok, ok,
it was a six inch gardener snake and I ran away screaming. But still- it was horrifying.
Shortly afterwards we saw a pack of wild turkeys!
Wild turkeys are significantly more intelligent than your regular Thanksgiving
dinner-variety so we were only able to catch a glimpse of them. It was still
quite a treat. I have never seen wild turkeys before and have only occasionally
seen them alive. Man oh man, do I like a turkey sandwich though (no offense
turkeys).
Snakes and turkeys aside, it has been an eventful
week. Work has been as busy as ever and school is also picking up the pace.
Christopher officially applied to medical schools and Dartmouth and Boston
University have already requested additional information!
I have a field trip coming up soon as well as
several talks and conferences. Be prepared for far more frequent posts and
pictures about this crazy state.
Mischief managed (for now).
