My Madzo is home! I trekked out to Williamstown and back yesterday to get her for the weekend, between five and six hours of driving all told, but its so worth it. I can't think about how much I miss her when she isn't here because that would just get overwhelming, so it sucks having her back and knowing she's going to leave again in a couple of days, but I feel pretty lucky to have her around. I seriously have the best friend/sister of all time. Ridiculous.
I've come to the conclusion that I really don't like my philosophy class, which is a shame. I'm just glad that I managed to force myself to finish my paper, crap as it was. I'm so bad about taking classes that annoy me...it's a total struggle not to completely disengage and check out...

The ride yesterday was gorgeous -- New England is reaching prime leaf-peeping season, and bright hues were splayed every which way, mixed in with rivers, rock beds, and mountains. The roads wound through factory towns and small towns, past totem poles and teepees, past gift shops, and antique shops. It cut through town centers, wrapping around churches and Dunkin Donuts. I saw Falling Rocks signs, and Moose Crossing signs and Duck Crossing signs. I discovered Orange, Massachusetts and Florida, Massachusetts, and braved many bridges. Heck, I even completed my first hairpin turns at considerable altitude, and while able to see the valley below. It was an incredibly scenic drive, quintessentially New England with the quaint towns and striking foliage. Lovely, lovely.
I am wearing fall colors, rich browns and corals, and my hair is fiery in the light like the leaves outside. The house smells like roast chicken, and I've been hibernating under the covers, sitting with the family, watching the rain outside, feeling warm and cozy and content. It's really beautiful.
