Goodbye Summer :(

Fall is here. The mornings have been really cold this last week, which I don't love. It warmed up during the day today though. I sure do love sunshine. Also, the leaves are starting to change. Last year I couldn't wait for the leaves to change. I was so excited to see Virginia in the Fall (it's gorgeous by the way). However, now I know that after the few weeks of lots of pretty colors, everything is bare and dead and brown and depressing for a looooong time. I don't love that. I'm not quite as excited for the changing of the seasons this year. I just love warm.

Hmmm is it obvious that I don't have anything exciting to say when the first paragraph of my post is about the weather? Come on Cas. It actually has been a pretty eventful couple of days, but I don't think I should expound on that at this point. Not on my blog anyway. Instead, you get the weather report. Also, Homecoming week is next week. Being on the Activities Committee, this means that it is going to be a CRAZY week. I'm excited. I know, I'm weird, but I LOVE being busy with stuff life this. I would much rather be running around putting up posters, and setting up for dances, and running the popcorn machine at the movie than be writing papers and studying. Unfortunately, I have to do both. But, the fun craziness makes up for the incredibly un-fun craziness. Who knew there could be good and bad craziness?

In other news, I will probably be failing my Western Civ II class. I cannot focus in that class. Her teaching seems really spastic to me and I am constantly stressing to keep up with her in my note taking. My notes are so disorderly and make no sense because she jumps all over the place, and doesn't finish thoughts and just makes coherent note taking impossible.  Also, the readings are super boring so I don't actually pay attention when I read. This equals me failing the quizzes. Frustrating. I hate failing.

And now we will be jumping to another random thought: I am starting to learn how to be a creative cook. I hate monotony in every aspect of my life....including food. I am not one of those kids that is content with PB&J or Ramen every day. Also, I like good food. I have lots of the easy stuff, but I am always trying to dress it up somehow. If I'm going to cook, I want to actually cook and make it worth my time. If I'm going to eat, it should be something enjoyable not just something to stop the growl, right? I think so. This mindset complicates life sometimes, but when I have the time I really love to actually cook good food. I haven't gotten too crazy yet, but I am slowly turning into a gourmet chef. Okay, not really, but I am having fun learning how to make healthy and tasty meals for myself. Probably this is a good skill to work on now.

So yes, I am mostly just being a college kid. Not a lot to report.
Come visit me.
The end.
