hopes and leaves

October. My favorite out of every month of the year. This is so because the tenth month is not only my birth month, but also because it marks the arrival of Fall and the eerie festivities of Halloween. Only a few weeks in, October has begun on a rather strange note, the rush of cool air settling over us being the only positive occurrence that I have yet seen. But I have faith in the possibility of change. Though off to a rocky start, I have high hopes for the rest of the month and for the blissful transition from the hot and the bright into the cool and the overcast.
September has left me feeling uneasy. With my backpack already boasting a large rip at the seams and the ever-growing stack of college applications waiting on my shelf, I feel as though Senior Year is not going to be as I thought it was. In all honesty, I imagined a chance to step back and, God forbid, actually enjoy the social aspects of high school life. I have one word for my naive musings:
Ha.
School work never let up. On the contrary, it increased all the more, with heavier books and stricter grading policies. If it is indeed the wicked who never find a moment of rest, then by all means, find me a pointed hat and paint me green.
On the brighter side of things, my list of shows that I will be attending is growing by the minute, with October and November already peppered with set concert dates. Coming up next is AP Magazine’s Fall Ball, where The Academy Is..., Mayday Parade, Set Your Goals, and several other admirable groups will be taking the stage. Of coarse I will be covering that night in my adjoining blog , so be sure to read up!!
In the meantime, I will be hiding beneath the covers with my beloved coffee, enjoying the contrasts of the crisp temperature and the warm liquid. Bliss.

To Do List:
-get dress for Fall Ball
-search for my warm socks
-take up sewing and fix torn backpack
-decide on halloween costume
-actually organize concert calender....and my room
