*Gasp* I missed 4 weeks of blog posts! As in, like, all of October!! How’d that happen?!

Hey Hawkeyes!

I’m so sorry to have left you hanging for my favorite month! For those who have been reading my blog for a while, you know that fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors and I was so excited about taking pictures of the pretty trees for you guys. But this fall has been extremely weird. The weather couldn’t decide if it wanted to be cold or warm, rainy or snowy. So it kinda did both on a day to day interval. The result of the weird weather being that some tree changed colors early, some just started changing, and some panicked and dropped all their leaves the first week. I was kinda sad about that. I still have a few photo ideas I want to try though, so hopefully I can get out there and capture some of them yet this fall.

Not much has been going on with me through October. It just kinda whizzed by, kinda like all the deadlines for my homework (no worries, it was completed and handed in on time). My roommate and I were getting ready for bed last week and I excitedly informed her that we had 4 weeks until Thanksgiving break. She was stunned and asked, “You’re counting down already?” I told her that no, in fact I wasn’t. My teacher’s are forcing me to by scheduling exams. I had one exam this past week, one this week, one the following week, and three the week after that (which is the week right before Thanksgiving). Therefore, there were 4 weeks. Now we are down to 3. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel: excited for a break or terrified that finals are starting to feel really close! Here are a few pictures from the last month:

I also got a bit of a cold this past week and re-discovered the fact that being sick during cold weather in college is not a ton of fun. I went to all my classes (not happily) and tried not to be that annoying person that coughs, sneezes, and sniffles through lecture. I also discovered that even though it’s a bit excessive (and not particularly helpful), it is possible to drink a gallon of orange juice in three days. By the way, as much as everyone insists it can’t help you when you’re already sick, I think the juice helped. I also believe in mind over matter, or at least try to tell myself that often enough. I will hopefully keep you guys more updated in the next several weeks before break, or at least post a few times!
