I love Fall.
It's seriously my favorite season. Which is funny because I grew up mostly in a state where there aren't really distinct changes in seasons, let alone the gold, burgundy and wine colored foliage of autumn. Autumn, that's the fancy term for 'Fall.' I think I like the term 'Fall' better, it's more accurate in my opinion. Because it describes what the leaves do.
In the spirit of my favorite season, I baked enough pumpkin muffins/bread to feed the entire Von Trapp family, including their extended family last week. My classmates were pretty thrilled, I brought muffins to class twice in one week. I'm becoming super popular. ;) On the plus side, our apartment smelled like pumpkin and spices for a couple of days so that was fitting with the season as well.
It's been pretty rainy these days, and that just makes me want to lounge around and read. Lucky for me, I picked a major/career path that caters to just that. I just lay around and read poetry. And then I write stuff, which is actually a lot harder than it looks or seems. But it's pretty amazing actually, that I'm doing what I love, at least so far. And I have a cute umbrella/rain-boots that I never got to wear much or use up till this point, so I'm pretty stoked about that too.
I had an ear infection or something this past week also--which means I laid low this weekend. My head and ears felt a lot of pressure, so I had a constant head ache for a few days. I'm feeling better now. I think I'm just adjusting to the weather a bit. It was nice though just hanging out, and the weather was still damp and rainy, putting a damper on my wanting to go out (please pardon the pun). I felt very unmotivated last week, partly because I wasn't feeling so well, but I think I got that motivation back. And it didn't even take my usual two cups of liquid motivation. I'm growing. Isn't it grand?
I bought a peacoat today for winter! It's pretty adorable and it was on sale (thank you mom and Aunt Michelle for teaching me how to shop)! So, I should be all set for when it starts to get really cold. I'm kind of curious to see how cold it really is, or if I feel like I can handle it or not. I have been blessed with a pretty moderate body temperature thus far, I've handled the extreme heat, so we'll see if I can handle the extreme (or relatively extreme) cold also.
For those of you who might possibly be angry with me for not calling you yet...here's my excuse: my phone is a POS. I barely have service anywhere and when I can answer the phone, most of the time the person has trouble hearing me. My best friend has been Skype lately, because my internet connection is better than my phone service. So, if you'd like to chat--Skype is my best bet for now. I'm not sure if it's AT&T or if I need a new phone. I think its going on three years old...and that's a lot for an Iphone. Regardless, I'm going to try to go to AT&T this week and see if I'm due for an upgrade.
This has been a very boring and to the point post. Haha. But I hope you enjoyed it! I really need a catchy signing off slogan...like all the good newscasters have. I'll work on that. Until next time...
