Well, tomorrow marks the beginning of my senior year of college. (Hold for Applause) I'm excited to finally be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, it's going to be a tough quarter. I'm taking 20 credits (3rd level German, Psychology of Interpersonal Relationships, Psychology of Basic Perception, and Memory and Cognition), and will be working 20 hours a week. The way my classes are set up, along with the distance from campus to my actual work/parking garage, will leave me constantly running all over campus like a crazy person. However, I'm hoping that all this running, in addition to simply not having time to eat, will lead to a magnitude of weight loss this quarter. I'm hoping a lot of it happens this month because I ordered my Halloween costume tonight and it is freakin' hot. If I can just lose like 10 pounds by Halloween, it'll be even hotter. Yay. =)
It seems like this is going to be a fun and busy season, even without all the school and work madness. Of course, Fall is my very favorite time of year. What's not to love? Halloween, my birthday, Pumpkin Show, three days of no class/no work in November...it's all lovely. Especially when you factor in the crisp nights, the changing colors of the leaves, and the indescribable scent in the air that tells you it's autumn. How is it that every season has a smell? Does that make sense? I can't wait for the first morning I walk outside and smell fall in the air...
Life has been good lately, overall. I'm coming off a bit of a low spell, but I've learned a lot about myself in the past few weeks, and made peace with a few things, as well. I'm also really excited because I've actually been able to put about $200.00 a month into my savings, and it's adding up nicely. I want to take a vacation. Christmas break is from December 11 to January 5... Where should I go? I'd love to go somewhere new, that I've never been, and preferably warm, as by that time I'll already be sick of winter. Hmm.
