October!
So while last nights post was technically made in October…I was still awake from my last day of September and did not really consider the post to have been made in October even though it technically was. Completely pointless sentence. I am just trying to justify two posts in one day. I have to say that I think that October is one of my favorite months for a variety of reasons. Reason number 1: the weather is actually beginning to change this year! It is so nice. Last year we had some cooler weather during the month but it did not last long. And years prior to this one, I was still going to the beach in 90 degree weather through the end of November. So the fact that the weather has been relatively cool two days in a row is a wonderful sign. I should check on the weather channel and make sure it isn’t just because of one of those short-lived cold fronts we typically get. I would be very disappointed if that were the case.
Reason number two: Relating to weather, kind of, it’s fall. Technically, it has been fall for a couple of weeks but the month of October just solidifies that for me. Reason number three: Here come to holidays! Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! And let’s not forget the New Year! The year where I will FINALLY be graduating from college! So I was thinking last night and speaking with my 15 year old sister. I have technically been in college for SIX…let me repeat…SIX years! I am only 22, but I began college when I was 16 years old. I used to study graphic design and switched my major when I was almost done completing that degree. I am probably going to go back and finish it up eventually. Anyway, so that’s why it has been so long. I graduated high school in 2005 and now will beg graduating college in 2010. I like increments of five. I am so happy that those are my years…otherwise I would be annoyed for no good reason. Maybe it’s a bit of my OCD coming out and saying BOO!
Speaking of OCD, I noticed something about myself yesterday thanks to my Mom…who sometimes unnecessarily points out some of my quirks and thinks they are weird. While I was dishing out dinner onto my plate, my mom noticed that I separated everything and did not have any kind of food touching another. Meanwhile, her plate is just one mushed up pile (ok, not really) of food…they were all touching. Now, to look at someone elses plate and their touching food does not irk me in the least. My plate however, needs to be the way I make it. I like to keep my foods separated on my plate. There are only a couple of things that I will mix together, one of them being corn and mashed potatoes. Sounds weird, but it is freaking delicious. Anyway, I just thought that it was a funny observation my mom made. It made me more self aware.
Alright well, I am going to go and relax a bit and then get to work on my lesson plans and other homework! I’ll probably post again tonight…oddly enough.
