Nor'Easter...in October?!

That's right...it's here!  Our first Nor'Easter of the season and the little kiddies couldn't fatten up on their sweets yet!  What a shame. 

Don't get me wrong, I love the snow, but I'm more for it happening right around Thanksgiving; it really puts you in the holiday spirit!  Medford is looking at receiving about 6" of snow....oh brother.  This throws off my plans to bring my car up to Maine for the Winter around Thanksgiving time to avoid parking bans and what-not.

On the brighter side, the semester is chugging along nicely.  Lots of projects to get through and lots of readings.  I was approved for an independent study for next semester where I'll be completing a case study over my internship at the museum!  It's going to be great and I'm super pumped!

That's all I really have for now.  No knight and shining armour has fallen into my life to prove to me that my heart's mendable.  *wah wah*

Ta!

Fall is finally here!

Hello my few followers!

It's the best time of the year! Time for the leaves to change colour, the temperature to drop and the frost to set it.  That's right, it's FALL!  I've been embracing it so much more this year than I could last year due to a lack of a car in the city.

Emilie and I

Recently my friends Emily, Emilie and Caitlin and I traipsed over to the Topsfield Fair for some down-home fun!  I had such a wonderful time seeing rabbits, goats, chickens, sheep, and cows.  Can't forget the amazing doughboy I consumed as well as a delicious cup of cider! 

Fairs are one of my favourite characteristics of what New England is.  Generations of families participate and create hand-hewn goods that bring all those who visit back to a simpler time, when a pig race winner was the latest news and where to get the best cider!

Here are some images of the excursion!  Enjoy!

 

mmmmm....Doughboy!

Oh hey buddddddy!

Caitlin, Emilie, and Emily waiting for the bumper cars! (which was epic might I add)

I don't plan on it :-)

Just a sample of some of the breathe taking individual flowers on display!  The attention to detail is astounding!

In terms of where my semester is at, it's chugging along rather steadily.  I currently feel as if I'm existing in the calm before the storm.  Certain assignments have come and gone and made me pull my hair out.  Other assignments are just waiting to rain chaos all over me.  This is actually my second day off in a row!  Yay for a holiday weekend!  I needed these extra days to work on a presentation (on Minstrel Shows) for Photographic Archives, and working on my contribution to a database that my class in Database Management is constructing.  Lots of hard work, but I find this to be the most insightful semester that I've experienced yet.

I'm also celebrating Fall by purchasing my pumpkin today, need to figure out a facial design I wanted to implement.  I just finished making a loaf of Pumpkin Bread (thanks Trader Joe's!).  It turned out wonderfully!  Stella's curled up in my lap currently and there's a cup o' tea cooling off.  What could be better?

Until next time...
