Fall Is A Real Bag Of Dicks

Hey nerds! Guess who has two thumbs, speaks limited french and is sadly realizing summer is over? This moi!

This morning, after my shower, I stood staring in my closet wrapped in a towel. Just staring. Staring at my sweaters, staring at my long sleeve tops, staring at the boots I love so, so much. Staring with a sense of dread and reluctance I didn't anticipate. Fall, already? We hardly had a summer. How was it just 90 degrees 2 days ago and the week ahead is low 60's? It's like a hormonal swing: HOW DOES THIS WORK? I WAS JUST GOING TO BASEBALL GAMES, CONCERTS AND DRINKING ON PATIOS! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? THIS ISN'T FAIR!

 

Not to mention that along with the blubber cover, school starts. In fact, I've been in school for almost an entire month now. Talk about a downer and a real bag of dicks. My heart aches, my brain hurts, I have little stress wrinkles in my forehead… If you've met me, you know that I don't get stressed about stupid school. Old Lillie shrugs off homework until the day before and she also laughs at the face of danger. Not the new Lillie, no no no. She is organized, and well rounded, and tries really hard. Pshffff, who am I? (New Lillie also goes out on Saturday nights until 5 A.M. [I guess that makes it Sunday morning], drinks more Fireball than I can count on 3 fingers, dances her face off, loses at pool and is followed by eating Mexican food at a 24 hour place. My new skills also include falling in love with people I can't have, and eating 5x the suggested serving size. So, yeah, don't fret, New Lillie is awesome.)

I guess this post is just a humble tribute to my summer this year. It was spent filled with some pretty awesome people, some amazing times that I'll always remember (except those ones I forgot), and I can't not mention the BBQ's and margaritas that were had. 

 

However, It is time to bid adiue to the amazing season (and my poor Sperry's I lost somewhere on the beach…. I'll never let go. I'll never let go… )and say that I'm actually pretty excited for the beginning of fall! I have such a super trip planned to Nashville with 2 of my best girlfriends, a trip north to Michigan with the best group of friends anyone could ever have (seriously, challenge me on this, I dare you), and the further into fall we go, the closer I get to seeing my extra favorite people in Boston. The countdown is on! 

So for all of my other friends who are just starting school, or who have been going for a few weeks, let's keep on keeping on… Only 12 more weeks to go. Just….  *sigh* 12. Now I'm off to go write the 3 papers I was assigned last week that are due next week, and study my face off for the 10-15 page exam I have tomorrow morning at 10 A.M. Now let's just pretend I was studying the whole time and was never here *switches wig, runs off*
