Today the APS celebrated the birthday of Benjamin Franklin. Although Franklin's birthday is January 17, 1706, it was celebrated today. There was a lecture about American "Character" and a march to Franklin's grave at the burial ground of Christ Church. A large crowd showed up to pay their respects and honor his memory.
I found it odd to think that I'm already half way through my project. The paper I am writing may be difficult, but I am still enjoying the break from school. Most of next week will probably be spent writing my paper, but I still think I will have time to experience other aspects of the American Philosophical Society.
