TABLE OF CONTENTS
note.
I've been looking forward to this issue of Jayplay since the first week of this semester. It's not that I particularly love mountain biking (page 5). Operation Wildlife (page 7) or camping (page 15), and I don't have a passion for helping the environment (page 10). Instead, I've been excited for sundresses and Chaco sandals.
Every time I bundled up in a winter coat or put on two pairs of socks, I would remind myself that issue 11 was the "Go outside issue" and by April 12 the thermometer would read somewhere in the 80s.
Then, on Monday of this week, as I trudged to Blake Hall for class, it began to snow.
Granted, I only saw about eight snowflakes total, but their presence spoke of something ominous: mittens, scarves and a wasted pedicure.
This issue is hitting campus just a little early, and my dresses and sandals remain unworn, but I'm going to hang on to Jayplay this week — maybe I'll hang it on my fridge — so I remember to hit the trails or head out to Clinton Lake when the Kansan Weather Jay finally dons his shades.
