Can I just say that I did not expect my last day of summer to be so incredibly amazing!? Good dogs, great friends, and an amazing hike through the wet pacific northwest. Home made pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream, a cozy fireplace, and the best friends a girl could ask for. As a Washington resident I do get tired of the rain, but absence makes the heart grow fonder. I love falling sleep to the pounding of hard rain outside my window. When it's so cold you have to wear two sweatshirts. The warm feeling hot cocoa brings to your insides as well as frostbitten fingers. Autumn is amazing to me, the prettiest season by far. As long as i'm not raking them I can always appreciate the simple beauty of falling leaves. I miss being 8 years old and able to jump into a pile of leaves bigger than me. I also miss my Mom always complaining about how dirty I was and being so seemingly proud of it.
It's the first day of school today and I left earlier than necessary to bike all the way to Hitchcock for an 8:30 lab. The time schedule says if you don't attend the first lab you may be dropped, but 8:35 rolled around and no body was there to open the door. But I really didn't mind it. Nothing like waking up to crisp air against your face with a free cup of coffee compliments to Tully's. I may not be excited for the overwhelming loads of homework i'm about to acquire, but i'm excited for school to begin. I like getting lost in my schoolwork and getting nestled into a routine. But most of all i'm antsy for Rugby to start. I can't wait for the late night practices, road trips with amazing ruggers, the soreness you can only feel after 80 minutes of brutal contact, the cold beer accompanied by rugby songs, and the priceless feeling of scoring a try, making a solid tackle, or managing a successful stiff arm. Let's go.
