when it rains.

Let me just say, rainy days are one of my favorites. In my dorm, my desk is faced towards the window for this very reason... to watch the rain fall. And, since I live in Florida, it rains quite often. I'm a fan when I'm safely inside -- wrapped in a blanket,sipping coffee, and listening to good music. I actually have a playlist on my ipod called "rainy days". Mm... so good.

I am a snuggler -- not by default, but by choice. Yep, I sure am. You may read that and think it to be childish, but I can almost guarantee you that deep down, you are one too. Don't be ashamed, own it. I'm all about snuggling on a rainy day. (and any other day, too ;) This is what I miss about home. I miss being able to get a hug whenever I need/want/demand one. Oh, mom and dad. To be home would be so nice right now. I'll be closer to home this weekend because I'll be with my family. Thank goodness Jason and Meghan are living in Tampa now. A group of us are going over to the John Mayer concert Saturday so I'm staying with them all weekend. I'm SO excited! I've been needing a breath of fresh air.

Classes are going well. Lots of reading. I mean, more than I've had in my entire college career. On the positive side, they're all books I'm pretty interested in reading -- this makes it that much easier. I'm really enjoying my classes this semester and looking forward to learning more about myself and those around me. There's a lot of teamwork this semester so that will be fun. I love getting to know people... I think it's going to be a good semester.

And also, it's almost September. Which means we're that much closer to December.
Christmas.
