Apologies

I know it's been a month since I have updated, but college took me by a storm and I have yet to find that happy balance between health, social life and studies. That said, I finally feel like I have things under control right now and this past month has definitely been a roller coaster nationally and personally. Journalism continues to prove itself difficult, but incredibly fun and exciting. My dormmates are absolutely wonderful and we spend time doing crazy things like playing Twister and carving pumpkins. The election? A historical moment for America definitely. However, I'm a little upset about California and Proposition 8, but I won't let that spoil my day.



This is my pumpkin. I believe this is the first pumpkin I have ever really carved by myself in my whole life.

And I bought a lucky bamboo plant from our local florist to brighten up my room. With the sun setting at 5 p.m. every day now, I feel like I have less and less time to do things in daylight and feel myself getting sleepy earlier and earlier. And, while the weather is absolutely gorgeous these past few days and I wish time would stop, the reality is that the temperature will drop about 30 degrees in the next few days and the first signs of snow are coming around. Am I ready? Absolutely not. Am I excited? Hell yes.







Also, I have a package coming in the mail that will make life so much more exciting! Hooray D90!
