I sometimes wish I was up north where I didn't have any of the distractions. I can't study on the beach. I hate sitting there and doing nothing in general though. There is nothing worse than a beautiful day where you look out the window and see girls tanning in little bikinis, guys throwing throwing frisbees, dogs running around, people playing beer pong and you are stuck inside in your little bubble studying.
I try to go outside and then I get nothing done or if it is summer, am drenched in sweat. I've actually realized over years of living in both types of climates that my total time indoors is about the same, but the distribution of that time is different. During the summer in Florida, I run from my air conditioned apartment to car to school back to car to grocery store, etc. while trying to not get too sweaty. During the winter up north I ran from my heated apartment to my heated car to the heated school, and so on.
That being said, I am looking at renting a house by the water for third and fourth year. 😉
