Mitten Weather & The Northeast

I was late for work tonight. I'm admitting it. I cruised into Admissions at 9:04 PM. My punctual reputation was compromised.

The reason? Why, I was looking for socks, of course! It's mitten weather, kiddos. Everyone is walking around in pullovers with scarves snug around their gullets. I pulled my suitcase out from under my bed late and dug for wool socks, sweaters, and long johns. The five mintue trek across campus in clogs was not the same as the walk I made on Monday night, but I can't deny it's nice to feel like Fall has come. There's nothing more terrifying than a trick of the weather to give the illusion that fall semester of your sophomore year will never end. Ever.

Hopefully a week in the Green Mountains will do me some good. I'm one page of literary analysis, two hours of class, and one cross country meet away from Fall Break. I'm flying home to Vermont on Saturday night and spending the week doing New England-y things. This blog is going radio-silent for a bit, but it could probably use a rest. I need more stories to regail you with...
