What A Wonderful World

Aaa, how I love Keene this time of year. Back home the foliage isn’t as beautiful as it is here; Hudson is very flat and the leaves are only certain colors. Here the leaves are gorgeous around this time of year and the mountains add to it. Fall isn’t my favorite season, but I love Keene this time of year. Even in the winter it’s beautiful, even if I don’t like the cold weather. Lindsey and I went shopping on Friday and I bought a nice fall coat that is so adorable. I love it AND it was on sale. My male residents thought my jacket was cute but they can’t understand why anyone would pay as much as I did for this coat. I also raided the $1 rack at Target, which has come to be my favorite shopping place lately. We also made a stop at Panera, and I tried the vegetable soup which was amazing. This weekened I was on duty and it was uneventful, which is always good, even if does make for a boring weekend.
Tomorrow I have an exam in Art History. Now, I think this class is interesting, however I think it is way too advanced for a 100 level class. I am studying for the exam and finding that even though I absolutely despise multiple choice tests, I would honestly rather have one than have one in which I have to write essays, such as the case in this class. Seriously, I hate it because if we right too much, he doesn’t like it, but if we don’t write enough he doesn’t like it. It really irritates me. I should have taken it with Friedman when I had the chance.
Today my family came up. My uncles and aunts, cousins and grandmother came up to visit. My parents are coming up next weekend. They went apple picking in Walpole and brought me back some really nice apples. We also went out to Olive Garden, where I had a ball of course. I had the never ending pasta bowl, and hit a record when I got 2 bowls of never ending pasta. Keep in mind that before this, I had several breadsticks, a wine sample, and some soup. It was amazing and hands down the best food I ate this year so far (even better than Panera).
Meanwhile, I am absolutely freezing in Huntress. Yesterday I woke up freezing and even though it was sunny, I decided wearing my winter coat was the best way to go. Anyway, I looked like a complete fool when I went to brunch because it was a nice fall day (in the upper 50s) and I was wearing my furry winter coat. My room is colder than the weather outside. Being in Fiske right now is so nice because the heat is on. I don’t think the heating people anticipated needing the heat this early on in the year, but we do. Seriously. Of course, once the heat comes on they will probably regret it because I blast the heat in my room. The good thing out of all this is that I am extremely clean because I shower 3 times a day to warm up. I wish they had a free dryer available to students who just want to warm up their clothes before they wear them, because that would be sweet.
I also really hate the new NH license. It’s ugly AND the people at the DMV didn’t give me any restrictions on my license, so technically I can drive without my corrective contacts (although to do so would be disasterous). Anyway, as much as I don’t like dealing with them (thank goodness I only have to do it every 5 years) I should go back because technically the information on my license is not correct. The woman working there used my old license as a guide, which had the restriction. I don’t know if the temporary one did or not, but it should have one.
I just ate my leftovers from Olive Garden, and it was delicious. Now I must get back to studying!
