Ain't seen a fall since last autumn

I've been doing a good job of staying (somewhat) positive lately. I've taken a couple mental health days off of school and that alone is enough to turn a whole week around. Also, I just got a 94 on my first test so I feel like i'm off to a good start this semester. And as usual, my friday and saturday nights remain full of booze, intrigue and excitement.

I've almost completely gotten over my cold but I still have the occasional cough attack. Once I get sick it's insanely hard for me to get over it. I remember going entire winters where I stayed sick growing up.

I'm completely loving the beginning of Fall. This is my favorite season of the year. The perfect transition from hot to cold. I can wear all my hoodies and jackets and there's always a nice cool breeze in the air. In northern Cali it sort of feels like this all year, but in NY it's an all too brief respite between the hellish summer and the frozen tundra of winter. October is my birthday month also so I get to plan out my festivities and get all my friends together to celebrate. (http://www.radegasthall.com) I've never understood people who don't want to party for their birthday. But then again, i'm alot more socially needy than most people so i'll take any chance I can to gather a crowd for drinking and debauchery.

Not to jinx myself or anything, but the year is going by pretty quickly over here. I came back from my summer break home in mid-August and it's already been 2 months. And in another 2 months i'll be back home AGAIN for winter break (hooray!) After that it's just another 7 months or so till' I graduate. I think I just might make it!! My brother wants to take me globe trekking for a few weeks when I finish. I'm excited for the opportunity but part of me just wants to hop on the first flight back home and get back to reality. But no, i'm sure we'll have fun. So far i'm thinking of Denmark, Milan, Amsterdam and London. I'll have friends to visit in 3 out of 4 of those places so that should be interesting. But yeah, that's still a long ways away.

I've been toying with the idea of nerding out and buying some anime and some comic books and never leaving my bed, but I don't think I have the time for all that. As a matter of fact I should be studying for advanced positioning and cross sectional anatomy right this second. 2 big tests tomorrow. I took the day off from the hospital and all i've done is lay around and dork out. I guess I just answered my own question....I had probably not buy any new distractions if I want to keep passing tests! But damnit, I really wanted to watch the entire series of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! Hmm...but if any of my loyal 3 or 4 readers wants to buy me a birthday present though, I wouldn't object... ;-)
