I have completely settled in, and made some variation of a home here-- even though my heart is still in NJ! I have good friends, a good apartment, good roomies... , and a lot of good times. I am even slowly getting used to the weather... it's funny out here because the weather report always says like 85-87 degrees, but as my friend Debby says, even though the numbers stay the same, it feels different on different days.
The weather has been one of the biggest challenges to face here... it can get sooo hot. But, last night I used a light blanket and actually had my fan on the lowest setting... which is a big change from the days that I slept curled around the fan... although it is getting slightly cooler at night.
I find that I really miss fall... I never really liked fall at home, to me it meant that summer was ending, all the life was dying, and the world was about to be frozen... but, here, it still feels like summer. I would love a nice 70 degree day-- cool enough to maybe wear a light sweater, or some capris--- but it seems impossible here. ha. I also miss the leaves changing color, which always made me think of making waxed leaves with my Grammy...
I didn't end up going to North Shore yesterday, we just couldn't get our act together-- which was fine with me, since I have a lot of work...
I cleaned my room, and actually made my bed, and am typing this up at my desk, which I have never sat at before. I mostly do my work at the library or in the living room... but it's sort of nice to be alone and focused on what I am writing...
But, I should get back to work... so I will leave you with a shot of some of the beautiful trees that I walk past on the way to school:
