Bye bye summer

For the last weekend of summer, we went to the beach. In NY it is hard to find a beach that allows dogs. So we went to Jersey. The northern-most part of the Jersey Shore is Sandy Hook. It has an Atlantic side and bayside- dogs are only allowed on the bayside. Sandy Hook also has some similarities to Governor's Island. At the very tip the there is a lighthouse and military outposts. The Coast Guard still uses it- but it has a similar ghost town feel to it. Empty buildings, morter batteries and a line of matching officers houses.

We had fun swimming with Sparks. But, he gets sooo excited and so restless, it isn't very relaxing.

School started yesterday and it was very exciting- all the classes I think will be challenging and interesting. It is strange to be in school again and I actually feel really out of it. My classmates seem to come from all over, some are musicians and some are young and have come straight from undergrad. The classes are very discussion based and it forces people to rather social. There is already a bit of reading and I still have two more classes today to start. I am not sure if I will have any time to blog or any time to do fun things to blog about. So I am off to read my assignments....
