and the great college search intensifies

[bedlamsbard]

I am flying out to Boston tonight to visit Wellesley. *crosses fingers*

Naturally, after five weeks of almost no homework, my teachers have decided that now is a great time to give me bucketloads of it. That's right: the weekend I won't even be in the state. And I'm damn well not hauling my chem book cross-country when I don't even know how to the problems in the first place; I'll beg and plead with my teacher when I get back on Tuesday.

I shall have to bring the camera.

So about the same as here, then. Having those, "oh my god, what kind of clothes do I need?" moments is one of the worst parts of travelling."

The maple trees particularly enjoy going all-out. They're all "OMGYAYFALL." and turn into grand orgies of red-orange-sometimes-purple-yellow-too.

Yeah, it's pretty much sort of like ... jeans and sweatshirts weather, I suppose.

*wide eyes* OOOH.

So definitely about the same as here.

Do trees just not do this in other parts of the country? Poor trees, not having fun.

Well, our states are sort of at a similar latitude... so I'd guess probably about the same, yes. It might be more windy since we're coastal.

Well, yes, but New England autumns are kind of legendary.

Heh. I really doubt anywhere is more windy than Ellensburg.

Woo for New England. But like I said, it's been a bit slacking in the past couple of years. That, or I'm old and cynical.

It tends to get pretty gusty up in Salem, but, I'm right on the water. It's also fairly damp here. (although humidity is about the same here and there, according to wunderground).

Ellensburg is windy but dry.

usually humidity here stands at 70% or so. Sometimes more. It's a shocking 44% at the moment.
