tomorrow is the first official day of "autumn" but today certainly feels like it. it is crisp, overcast and wonderful. fall is my favorite season for many reasons, and october is my favorite month. we're almost there. why? the trees are all starting to change colors at the very tips of the leaves. orange tipped trees are beautiful. i love putting on layers of clothes and walking down the street with my face cold but body warm. i love the rain! my bike is now in it's "resting place" aka storage. i am a fair-weather biker. i admit it. having a bus pass and no fender for my bike really make it easy not to bike in the cold and rain. i am a wimp!
what a strange year it has been. just last week it was 90 degrees and now it's nipply out. i've been waiting patiently for fall to arrive and now it has. i start school tomorrow bright and early, with clinicals at the hospital as well. it is going to be one heck of a busy term and i am not sure i am prepared mentally. i am having major anxiety! on top of that i am looking for a new place to rent. i am currently living with 3 guys who i never really see or hang out with. so i have nothing really going for me here, and while it was nice to be across the street from a mcmenamins pub/theater i am over it. i want to be closer to work, school and friends. so i am moving. i'm gonna live with 2 gals from work who are awesome! i can't wait. first we have to find the perfect place though, and that's hard considering we are all poor/working/students.
on another note, RENT is done on broadway but doing a final tour with some of the original cast. i have been a fan of RENT since i first saw it. it's one of those shows that i really get and that i can relate to. other ones that i love i don't necessarily connect to but just like the music, like phantom of the opera and les miz. they are all essentially about love but RENT is set more in this age and place. also, the music is rockin and i love it! it is not coming until june but i just bought my tickets!!! i got orchestra seats for a thursday night but i'm thinking i'll probably try to rush for another night. they are only performing for a week so we'll see if i can.
i have to go to kickball soon. it's cold out and i'll have to dress warmly. last week we lost to the worst team, 10-2. we were short many people and our pitcher severely sprained his ankle. we had 2 guys who never played before and i was 0-3, something that's never happened. i'm not sure where my mojo went. hopefully it'll be back this week! go CHEATERS!

true dat! i love fall weather... to bad we don't have any of it here in hawaii! so my "fall weather" is actually winter weather, but i love it because it's a little chillier so i can wear sweaters and layers and stuff (which i like to wear, for some reason i feel like a real person when i wear grown-up clothes). but then the sun still shines and that's cool. but i also love it when it rains sometimes too, not wimpy rain though, i'm talking downpours... and then it's nice and cold for the rest of the day and you can wear sweaters and look at the rain outside the windows.
i also like it because halloween (very cool holiday) and christmas, christmas being my favorite (even though it's kinda lonely and depressing, it's a good kind of depressing). plus then you can put up lights and go out at night... and wear sweaters and stuff, haha. that being said, i also love it when summer comes around again and i can go to the beach... but summer lasts like 10 months out of the year and weather is horribly hot and humid in september and october... but once those rains start coming in november it's all good from there!
this is gonna sound super-dorky... but i think one of the reasons why i love that rainy weather so much is because of marching band. not so much marching band, but y'know that we spent so much time at night outdoors during october/november sometimes in the rain and at football games (almost ALWAYS in the rain around homecoming) that maybe rain and good memories go together in my brain y'know?
