It's not that it's been colder than it has been the other years, just that the cold started a bit earlier than the past couple years. Though, it has been a welcome addition. I much prefer the cold over the heat, though I'd never want to trade one for the other. The Autumn leaves have been especially beautiful this year, I've never seen such vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow fill the sky like it has this year. It's truly awe inspiring.
Life has been crazy these past couple months, so much has changed, yet at the same time very little has. I'm still working at the store, I'm still going to the same classes, I'm still primarily riding my bike to get around, but each part has been slightly tweaked.
After my old bike got stolen, I got a used one off Craigslist. It's had a number of issues, some of which were caused by me, but it has still been able to get me to and from school and work without too much trouble. The time change has shifted my willingness to be on the streets at night and so I find myself prioritizing places I can walk to.
Classes have been more draining. Not so much because of a heightened level of difficulty, but just annoyance. I often find myself thinking "Oh great another discussion post", and putting in just enough effort to keep my standing in the class, not truly engaging. Physics is mostly the exception to this rule, I'm really enjoying this course a lot and love this new language of analyzing the world around me, seeing the equations come to life, drawing the force diagrams in my head.
Even though the year still has a month and a half left to it, I can feel the winter creeping around the corner. It feels like everything is winding down. We're all cozying up to one another and getting ready for hibernation with our feasts and festivities.
