Short Term is just as amazing as everyone says it is. It began last week and it is already evident how happy people are. We are able to put all of our time into one class, while enjoying the sun, exploring Maine and spending quality time with friends. Last week we went to Nezinscot, which is in Turner, Maine and it is an organic, environmentally sustainable farm. We ate their goat cheese and Brie, and sipped fresh squeezed orange juice. We even got to hold their new baby lamb. We came back to Bates and read and did homework on the quad.
The next day I had two hours of class and then my friends and I went to Range Pond, which is a beautiful pond where many Bates students swim, barbeque, tan and play frisbee. We stayed there for about three hours and then went out to dinner to a local restaurant in Lewiston called Fishbones for delicious Salmon and Blue Crab spring rolls.
The past few days have been a bit rainy, but finally today the sun has come out. Although, it has been rainy, it has not stopped us from having fun. We went and saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which was hilarious) and my roommates and I had a mud fight. One of the things I like the most about Bates is that there is always something to do even if the weather isn’t ideal. Last night we went to Freeport to get sushi and Ben and Jerry’s was giving out free ice cream scoops!
I just got out of my class and now we are going to go for a hike about 15 miles away at Bradbury Mountain State Park.
Peace,
Charlotte
