fall is my favorite

Light at the end of the tunnel. That's what I see. The move is all taken care of and on its way to meet us in Germany. ETA of the stuff: early December. Hooray! After all the paperwork, hassle, and running around the actual day went very smoothly. This weekend should be a busy one, charity event Friday, seeing a friend's production of RENT in Chicago on Saturday, but I am very much looking forward to it.

Living out of suitcases isn't treating me too poorly at all; granted, they are the suitcases you could fit small children in, so I'm not really lacking...in anything. Other than that, same going ons around here. Settling into the cozy rhythms of fall: football, books, blankets, dreary days that don't yet make me dreary, baking, and the best part: the extreme closeness of November.

I am beginning to realize I'm not in school anymore, up until now it just felt like a really long summer vacation. But combined with Badger games I no longer attend and all my friends still in school stressing over midterms I no longer have to worry about (YES) it's (finally) hit home. I miss the physical closeness of all my friends and oddly enough I miss walking to class in chilly mornings (but I will not miss scaling the snowbanks come winter) and sitting in a warm lecture halls taking notes about things I enjoy learning. I am definitely not nostalgic enough to want to return however. I am very glad to leave that part of my life behind for, at the very least, a good few years and maybe forever. I have a wonderful adventure to look forward to and right now that's all I want or need.
