Almost Fall-ing Over

While walking to class the other day I slipped slightly and, luckily, managed to regain my balance and somehow retain my composure before making an utter fool of myself. When glancing back to see what had almost caused me complete embarrassment in front of hundreds of other students, I noticed that it was just wet leaves on the path. That's right, leaves. I looked up. The trees were shedding their leaves and those remaining were beginning to turn the fiery reds and oranges so famous in New England pictures. It’s official. 'Fall' has arrived. And I discovered it by nearly falling over... well actually I may have slightly made that up for the beautiful irony of it but you’ve got to give me a bit of creative license I’m an English student! 

One thing I did find strange is how suddenly I noticed the change in my surroundings. It must have been going on for the past few weeks or so but I’ve been completely unaware of the natural changes that have been happening around me. Cheesy moment alert: it's funny how we can walk through even the most beautiful places as part of our daily routine and just become completely oblivious to them. What should have given it away was the new decorative addition to my dining hall....

WORLD’S BIGGEST PUMPKIN EVER!!! Cool huh?! Sadly it didn't turn into a beautiful carriage and I have yet to be swept away to a wonderful ball where I meet my handsome Prince; but it's still there so I have hope!

Anyways I’ll keep you posted with some more pictures...
