Oh, Weather.

So, where I live it is currently October the thirtieth. There is also currently snow on the ground.
I mean, granted, there isn't that much snow. But there is snow nonetheless. In the fall.

This does not please me. I mean, yes, I do like snow. I just like it when snow falls in late November or in December. At times when I feel like I should be making latkes, or drinking homemade cocoa, or wearing four layers. I get cold easily, but I'm not used to feeling as though I have to wear upwards of two layers in the fall.

As I've said in previous posts, fall is my favorite season. The reason being that up in the Northeast, where I live, the leaves are usually bright and colorful, and one can see all of the changes wherever he or she walks. But nope, not this fall. This fall some leaves changed, but most remained green and on the trees. Now they are all going to turn brown and fall off, which is not a pretty sight at all.

I also am not such a huge fan of the prospect of snow on Halloween, which is my favorite holiday. The snow yesterday caused  a special Halloween event my town has to be postponed until today, when I'm not able to go. And I was planning on going with my friend. I mean, my friend and I still got to hang out, but it would have been so much more fun to go to the event. Instead we watched "Halloween" (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season 2, episode 6) and "The Addams Family" (the movie) and baked cookies and then went for a walk in the snow. Which caused me to soak my converse and almost freeze.

But it was still fun. Just a bit weird. I feel like I should be all done with college applications at this point and be sending them off, and be on vacation. (I should be almost done with them, which I'm not quite yet, but I'm working hard on them!) I'm not applying ED/EA anywhere, but I like to have things done as early as is possible. For example, yesterday I finished an essay for my Race class that is not due until Wednesday.

So, harrumph. I'm a bit perturbed by the snow, but I suppose it just gives me an excuse to drink as much warm tea as I please. Which is never a bad thing.
