Summer, We Miss You!

I absolutely love fall.  I love the crisp fall air, the falling leaves, the fashion (plaid of course), harvest events, fall festivals, the St. James Art Fair (a local favorite), Thanksgiving, Pumpkin Spice Lattes (thank you Starbucks), crock pot dishes, and so on.  It's only on those very cold days (like today) and days when I'm stuck inside studying for finals (like today and the next 17 days) that I really miss our warmest season of the year.  Here is a list of things I miss about Summer:

1) Picnics (or rooftop picnics)

2) My not-so-pale and not-so-pale skin

3) Pool-side hangouts

4) White Parties

5) Colorful Summer Dresses & Sandals

6) Reading Time!!!!

7) Movie time ;)

8) Lunch dates, Dinner dates, ICE CREAM/FROYO dates, oh and brunch dates (with @pujasangoi)

9) Fourth of July and all the good things that come with

10) Me time:  this involves cooking, cleaning, organizing, professional development, spending time with loved ones, writing letters, and crafting :)  Stay tuned for DYIs for how to keep and repurpose memorabilia that you want to hold on to.

Outdoor Living: Outdoor Studying

[St. James Court:  The Pink Palace]

It's that time of the year again.  The beautiful signs of Autumn are also a reminder that it's time start studying.  Law school finals are less than four short weeks away.  That explains my return to this blog. I'm stressed and I need an outlet.  I'm not happy about my long hiatus from the blog.  The only good thing is that I have a lot to share.  When the weather was a little warmer, I spent a lot of time on my roof.  I studied, napped and ate meals there.  I also consumed copious amounts of tea there.  I would also walk around my neighborhood, which is filled with beautiful victorian houses.  I don't have a dog to take with me, so at times I would take my study material with me.  Here is a picture from last year (the miserable 1L year).  Sadly, the cold weather wont allow for much outdoor studying but I plan on spending my brief breaks outdoor.  The cool weather is a great way to reenergize and come back to another long marathon of studying.  If you're in school and studying, best of luck to you.  I know it's cold but do spend some time outside.
