Wow, I can't believe I last posted at the start of summer, over two months ago. All I can say is, things sure have changed. Wow. I can't believe that it's already junior year. School starts next Thursday. I'm so ill-equipped it isn't even funny. As long as drumline isn't an embarassment this year, I don't lose any (more) important people in my life, my grades stay decent and I get my car in three months, I think I'll be okay.

Autumn is a strange time of year. We all think foliage is such a beautiful thing. In essence we're watching everything die. And we think it's beautiful. And then during winter we complain at how barren everything is, while in reality things are rejuvenating just beneath our feet. And then in spring we marvel at the reemergence, and then in summer complain of the heat when its really the only time we can enjoy the warmth. And to think I used to think leaves changing color was a good thing. Things change.
