autumn on campus

There’s something about all those trees that makes the ground spring up into crunchiness this time of year. That noisy texture comes with a particular smell, which is a good smell that you’d like to keep if it wouldn’t go bad.

I’d like to keep this beautiful weather, but I know it won’t stay. Soon I won’t be comfortable without five layers wrapping me, the top one being a winter coat. I’ve heard that South stays pretty warm through the winter. I hope that the person who says that has the same definition as I do. Seventy-five is a good temperature. Eighty is good if it’s a sit-around-and-do-nothing day. But I haven’t had many of those!
