Oh, no! We are barely halfway through October and I’ve seen the first *ahem* snow of the season. I was so totally not prepared for that. I knew there was snow last night in the higher elevations around here, but that’s different. It wasn’t here. It was there. There is not here. Well, it is [...]

As of today, it is T-24 days until my first day of classes. I am both incredibly excited and incredibly nervous. I don’t think I’ve been this nervous before. Or at least not in a long time. And I can’t really say it’s a bad kind of nervous. More of an excited nervous. Does that [...]
