Fall is Here!

I was very happy to find when I woke up for my 8 am class this morning to find that it was still chilly outside. The sun has unfortunately warmed up by now and chased the chill away, but I know looking at the forecast that it will be back soon. With the amazing weather this past weekend I finally convinced myself to get outside and explore the campus some more. I tried to go to parts that I usually did not go to because I did not have any classes in that area and just walked around looking for short cuts and stair cases and places where I could go through instead of around. I was not able to make it to the other side of campus to explore the more nature filled areas but I hope to be able to do that next weekend if the weather stays nice, as well as start exploring along the river and find those secret spots I keep hearing about.

I am glad that the weather has started to cool down. Even though I was born and raised in Texas, I actually prefer to be freezing than hot. After all if you are cold you can just bundle up in an almost infinite amount of layers, but if it's really hot, you can only strip so many layers before people start looking at you funny. (Who ever invented swim suits, thank you!)

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. I love how the leaves change colors and the air gets its own kind of crispness to it. It has a completely different feeling to it then the other seasons, and I love it. I would actually be happy for it to always be autumn. I love dressing in layers and jackets and sweaters, but it's almost always too hot to do so. And of course when it's cold, I can finally drink hot chocolate!
