I know what you're thinking. "We did this one already, right?"
But it seems that Autumn is upon us and let me tell you how it is certainly my new favorite season.
I say new favorite because Autumn simply doesn't exist in Texas. There you go from blazing hot hell of a summer to iced roads and the biggest coats you can find (because everything is bigger in Texas).
Of course, I'm not really seeing evidence of leaves changing colors and falling — though my sister now lives in Seattle and she is. Jealous.
I wore a sweater and a scarf today — and I actually needed them. I think I'm probably going to have to buy a new helmet because the colder it gets the more my ears and face are going to freeze off — and apparently it will indeed get colder.
Right now, it's slightly chilly on the scooter, but nothing I can't handle (especially with the help of a cardigan and a light scarf).
I simply love the fact that I'm not sweating through my clothes before I even get to class and then sweating through my clothes all over again while I'm in class.
I know, gross/TMI.
Autumn just makes me feel young and energetic though. I know that I am young, but this is different. I guess I just don't feel like time is blurring by anymore. I don't understand how weather makes me feel that way, but it does.
Now I just have to figure out how to clothe myself for a couple of season that I wasn't really expecting. Apparently it actually gets pretty cold here (at least from a Texan's perspective).
Let the shopping spree begin?

a down coat from Hilltop in carrefour. that was the best 4000 NT i EVER spent. they're 2 layers with a down jacket inside and a giant windbreaker outside. the cuffs button tight, theyre waterproof, they're amazing. they fold down to the size of a cantaloupe.
gloves. i'm pretty sure i left my leather gloves in the seat of the scooter. if not, get some at carrefour.
