This week marks the beginning of my favorite month--October. The leaves begin to crisp and turn bright colors. I love the deep oranges and burnt yellows; the smell of burning leaves immediately reminds me of being a kid. There's something about going home during the fall, as well. My family is particularly wonderful during the fall months. Everyone is a bit more cozy and calm. My mom and I play games and watch movies while dinner is cooking or the fire is going.
October is also the month of one of my favorite holidays! Columbus Day.
Obviously I mean Halloween. I don't think I'm doing a costume this year instead I'm going with my parents to their alma mater for a football game. They're playing against my school, so that will be a fun little rivalry going. Even though their team might as well not even show up! Our team is doing quite well. We're very proud.
Grad school applications have been plodding along slowly. I think I've narrowed down my list to seven schools, so now I just have to prepare my writing sample and general statement and resume. And take the GRE. Oh God.
