Crisis Over

Since I can't afford much of anything now, I think I'm going to take time off to work and save money, then go to graduate school. I like the sound of that more and more every time I say it. I plan on saving money to travel as well since I've had wanderlust basically since I came back from the South Pacific eight years ago...

I'm still a little shaken up thinking about the future, but having a concrete plan (which is still hardening) makes me feel much better.

Regarding the very near future: FALL IS HERE! HOMECOMING IS APPROACHING! I'm super stoked. To me, these things represent:
-cold weather (great for running- WAHOO!)
-brisk, crisp air
-seeing my smoky breath (Yes, I'm very easily amused)
-hot beverages
-cuddling season (wish I had a dog, or that my cat was friendlier)
-"Hocus Pocus" - my favorite Halloween movie from childhood
-ALL the scary movies coming into theaters - I stinkin love horror movies. Suspense, real life stuff>gore, torture, gratuitous sex
-holiday season (Thanksgiving, Christmas)
-pecan, chocolate, chess/buttermilk PIE (nom nom nom)
-community :)
