Happy Fall!

It's autumn! Rainy, leaf crunching, pumpkin picking, apple cider-ing, Halloween-y autumn. How I've missed her (and the cold weather to come making hot, humid days at the lakefront a little more bearable). Classes are going well -- I got A's on my last two quizzes and I'm looking forward to working on my English project Thursday with my group.

This morning sucked, however. I woke up late and busted my butt to get down to Milwaukee. I nearly missed the shuttle to school and I still ended up to my (one) class five minutes late! The worst part was after all that work, class was canceled anyway. My teacher made a brief summary of what we should do for homework and Thursday and then I left. What a waste! At least my drive is pretty.

That's alright though, I got to come home an hour early and watch Nancy Drew (which was surprisingly not horrible). The fashions were really cute and I loved Emma Roberts (she makes a great little perfectionist). But I must say that her hairstyle and age was a little off.

Mrs. Sparks will let me know about the after school writing center I volunteered for -- I'm tired already from it, but it will look good on my resume, especially for graduate school. My first semester and already I'm thinking about the next three years. Life is tiring.

Where I'm From

I'm from TV and a close knit family;
A big city;
A cold month.
I'm from my mother and my father;
My older brother;
A bird, two dogs, and four cats.
I'm from suburbia;
The midwest;
The United States -- fallen from grace.
I'm from the middle class;
The working stiffs;
The almost-college educated.
I'm from our society of;
Democrats, Lutherans;
Conformists.
And I am the by-product of where I'm from.
