it's beginning to feel a lot like ...

Autumn.

Exhibit a: The leaves are finally changing colors and dropping off the trees.
Exhibit b: My house was a bit chilly when I stepped out of the bathroom after showering this morning.
Exhibit c: I just ate half a turkey sandwich and a piece of pumpkin pie for lunch.
Exhibit d: I've had 4 cups of tea today, because it's a gloomy, rainy day outside. Pity that I'm spending it at work. As I suck down more Tazo Decaffeinated Chai Tea, I'm thinking that there are so many better ways I could be spending this day.

Finals countdown: 39 days to freedom.
Vacation countdown: 45 days until I leave on a jet plane.
