The Obligatory Fall Entry...

So, yesterday I was walking down the street and realized (once again) just how happy fall sometimes makes me! I just love the cool, sunny weather and the sound of leaves rustling as you kick your way through them... God sure got it right with the seasons...

It's interesting how bittersweet fall is... it got me thinking about what all the seasons really make me feel. Like, fall I love and yet it means that summer is ending and winter is around the corner... and I like winter--but when winter turns to spring I am not at ALL sad. I am ALWAYS ready for winter to end... so spring is just purely joyful! Summer I enjoy but always end up feeling like time is going too fast--so summer actually makes me anxious about life flying by so quickly...

Speaking of time flying... that's another thing I've been thinking about. It is my last year of college ever. I keep forgetting about that detail and then re-remembering it and every time it freaks me out. My life starts... I mean, it has already, but you know, REAL life begins in under a year and well, I guess I just still don't really feel like I know where I'm going! And that's ok and all, but I guess it's just a strange feeling. For the first time in my life I have NO idea where I will be in a few months. I could be in Milwaukee or Texas or Germany or Minnesota or N.Carolina or... well ANYWHERE. And that is a very strange thought. I mean, even before I knew for certain where I wanted to go to school (college) I knew at least that I was going to go to college. Life has just been a natural progression thus far... and all of a sudden here's a decision point-- and I need to figure out where to go and what I want to do. Another interesting thing about it all is, I never really thought I would be so completely on my own at this stage in my life. I figured I would have one person who I would be making some sort of plans with by now... but I guess it's nice to have the independence to just do whatever... strange, some people don't want to be tied down, but I feel very rootless and am not sure I like it...

Well this got very pensive all of a sudden. Done with that.

:) On an upside exam #1 of 5 done... and I think done well, but we'll see on Friday I think.
