17 - Autumn
I think autumn is one of my least favorite seasons. It can't decide whether it wants to be warm or cold. Besides, all the leaves falling everywhere just gets in the way. Talk about a mess. I especially hate those small burrs that stick to your clothes. Ugh, what a pain. Even if winter is colder, at least it gives you the excuse to stay in the warm indoors and drink hot chocolate by a fireplace.
... Speaking of which, does this school even have a fireplace? I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. I mean heck, I wouldn't trust half of the students here with fire. A fireplace would probably only be a health hazard. What a shame. I spent many winter days back at my old school sitting in the student commons by the fireplace, having a warm drink, and simply chatting with my peers. Of course those conversations were much more intellectually stimulating than any of the gossip that seems to constantly be floating around the halls at this school. Even if I do indulge myself in a juicy story every so often, some of the things I hear in these hallways are just of bad taste. Really, some people here simply have no understanding of the term "tact."
