Bookmarking A Good Day

Today was a good day. Me and a load of students lay out on the grassy slope orchard that leads from the main college building down to the canteen, and we just studied for hours, hanging out and chatting. It was way hotter today that it has been for weeks, and we all sat down on the grass in the blazing sunshine for ages, about 15 of us, all barefoot, and some of us studied, some climbed the trees, others just sunbathed, and we were all hanging out, joking, laughing and having a good time. It will be a good memory. When we got hungry we just picked apples and pears right off the trees and ate them, and after a few hours we decided to go down to the river at the bottom of the hill. We crossed the road, jumped a fence, walked the field, and went down to the water, where some of us paddled, and a bunch of the lads got topless and waded into the river up to their necks, made loads of noise, wrestled, and just generally had a good time.

Later tonight me and Sydney went down to the common room where we all just hung out for hours, talking and joking with the crowd there, and batting a blue balloon around for hours. Me and Sydney came back up to the flat with an all over good-feeling from just being around a great group of friends.

Definitely a good day I want to remember.
