AUTUMN.
In my mind autumn has always been paired with school starting. It seems that my life has always revolved around a school calendar. I rarely describe things by year, such as..."Oh, yes, that was in 2008!" Instead I'd say, "Oh yes, that must have been fall semester of Junior year!" I was like this even when I was little. When I was younger I actually thought that the first month of the year was September, because that's when school started. It didn't make sense to me that we would start school any month other than the first. Seasons have been the same for me. When school starts, fall begins. When it's over, it's summer. The official dates of these seasons have never really been grasped in my brain.
Today Jayson's youngest sister, Jana, moved away to go to school at SUU.
This week tons of people will be moving to where ever they go to school.
I can't help but thinking of the thousands of people flocking to USU this next week. I can't help but remember being one of those people, it brings back such fond memories.
I have always always loved the beginning of a new school year. It's always filled with so much potential and hope. It leaves me with a feeling of ambition and a fresh new start. There is nothing like it.
This is the first fall since I was 2 years old that I haven't started a new year of school. It is very strange. I am not quite sure if I'm sad about this or not.
I do know though, that what I miss the very most right now is Logan. I miss the hussle and bussle of everyone going to the next building in between classes. I miss greeting people in the TSC, I miss seeing friends that I haven't seen all summer, and....(hold your breath)...I miss class.
I know what you're thinking....Me? missing class? The girl who started her countdown to graduation the moment her last semester started? The one who was completely burnt out from school? Well, what can I say? You can take the girl out of school, but you can't take the school out of the girl. I love learning. I love class. If you take away the homework, I'd be a student for life.
I am also going to miss this:
(The best part about this picture is that I took it myself. Not only did I take it myself, but I was by myself, with no one I knew around. You wouldn't believe the looks I got...)
I LOVE Logan in the fall. It's my very favorite. Don't worry Logan, I'll be paying you a visit when your pretty leaves change...

I don't want to give off the impression that I'm this sad girl who mopes around because she isn't going to school this fall.. On the contrary, I'm quite enjoying my homework-less life. It is fabulous. It's just a really bizarre feeling to not be moving to Logan right now, to not be buying books, etc.
Above all, I am really excited for the fall. Is it just me or has it just been summer too long?! I can't explain it and I don't know if I've ever felt like this before. I thoroughly enjoyed my summer, it was really fun, but I am SOOO ready for fall. Bring on the changing leaves, but hold the snow please.

Amen.
I miss Logan too! I can't believe how close I am to graduating now...maybe we can have a graduates party next fall! :)
Amen indeed.
Except I would be OK to not have to buy books. Or have class and homework. ...Sigh...
I'm with ya! I love Logan in the Fall, along with the hopeful feeling of a new semester. I think I'll always be a student (in life, not necessarily a university) because there is so much to learn! I love it :) And isn't a homeworkless life the best? Freedom!
