Well, the semester is half over. As is fall break. I can’t decide whether to be upset or excited about this. I suppose it’s okay to be feeling a little bit of both. School is going by too fast for me to comprehend. I know I say this a lot but it’s extremely true. When December rolls around I’ll be really excited to be able to say I’ve made it through the first semester of college; at the same time I’m nervous for impending finals and the proverbial research project I have due in a few weeks. Yet, from what I can tell most Freshmen are going through the same stresses I am, so I’m not going to worry too much about it quite yet.
On another note, fall has hit us in full force. The trees have changed, presenting an array of colors from red to orange to a sunshine yellow color. These colors give the hollow an entirely different look and I often find myself distracted by my surroundings as I walk back and forth from class. At the same time, I know it means impending winter, so I guess we’ll see how long it takes for the the weather to get cold and dreary. Then again, I truly can’t wait for the snow!
I hope everyone’s having a wonderful October and gearing up for Halloween on Monday! Have an amazing holiday and I’ll see you next time
