Good-bye Summer. Hello Fall.

Hmm..it seems that Fall is here..it’s freaking chilly outside! When did all this happen? What’s going on? I feel so disconnected with the outside world because of school.  Well, I guess it’s time to retire my flip flops and tank tops, turn the heat on and pull the sweaters and boots out of hibernation! Ah…there are so many things I am going to miss about this past Summer. Things like: 

1. Water aerobics at Colman Pool with my unemployed friends. Nothing better than being outside in a salt water pool on an 80 degree day splashing around like a fool with water-wings!
2. Harvesting my garden  – lettuce, peppers, blueberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, basil - damn there’s nothing like homegrown produce!
3. White sangria and midday unemployed happy hours.
4. Not wearing house pants.
5. Living life in flip-flops and house shorts.
6. The long summer days and warm summer nights.
7. Being outside all day long.
8. BBQing every night for dinner.
9. My warm sunny 4-mile walk along Alki.
10. Not studying for school.

And now for all the things I’m looking forward to this Fall: 

1. Snow Patrol concert.
2. Halloween so I can sport my Stoven.
3. Thanksgiving so I can stuff my gourd.
4. Christmas, even though I can’t buy gifts this year.
5. Finishing my 1st term.
6. My winter break in January.
7. My birthday (even though I’m getting older, I know I’m effin’ wiser and more educated so there’s something to celebrate!)
8. Finishing 2nd term.
9. Graduation.
10. Passing a national exam.

My winter looks really dull compared to my Summer, doesn’t it? Oh well – it’s only 7 months of my life. It could be worse. I could be stuck in a cube watching my soul get sucked right out of my body.

Peace out,. Back to my books.
