Ramblings of a Wandering Luney

I miss fall. I was walking back to my dorm today slower than usual from Spanish (I had extra time because we yet again let out early) watching the leaves fall. I love watching them slowly drift toward the ground, then get caught up in a breeze and soar and dance. Fall breezes are wonderful!! They're so....electric. They make me feel like dancing like the leaves do. I think I'll study in a tree sometime. I know I keep saying that, but I will!! At home, most of the leaves are already turned. Fall is making me miss home somewhat. It makes me want to go hiking or trail riding or rake up some leaves just to play in them. Remember playing in the leaves Heather while trying to avoid the lions? Everyone loves the bowl you made me by the way, even if they don't understand it =-) .

There is a fencing tournament this weekend. I"m excited in a way, but I'm really scared and nervous too. I'm afraid of getting my butt kicked by everyone. I know I'm going to lose, but I'm afraid of not getting any touches, or finding out I'm the worst sabre on the team or something like that. I know, I know, I'm new at this, but I hate being the complete worst at something, being absolutely terrible. What if I am and I just don't know it because I'm use to fencing the same people in practice? What if I don't actually understand right of way so all this time I've been thinking I've been getting touches when I haven't. Yeah, I know, I need to stop worrying or whatever.

Well, I am going to go eat. I think I made one of the members of my Monday, Wednesday, Friday lunch group mad on accident. If you see me when walking and you don't say anything, chances are that I won't see you. It's not that I'm being mean or rude, but I'm usually out of it or thinking about what I need to get done or just plain oblivious to the world, so please don't take offense.
