Onward!!

Nothing more dramatic than the inevitable end of summer intended. I mean, I knew it was coming, and not only by the inevitable turning of the month to September. This morning cool air had crept into my room and had stirred my mind into dreams of cold places. I woke up refreshed, with the tip of my nose distinctly cold. It didn’t feel too different from yesterday, but there was still something different in the air.

A wisp of melancholy… maybe a touch of dread. My final year at University starts in like three weeks. Well, teaching starts in a month but there are things to do before then. I’ve got fun stuff planned for the autumn as well, but somehow schoolwork looms over everything really menacingly.

This summer has gone really quickly. On the one hand my trip to Norway feels like it was ages ago, and the sun tan is already fading. Equally it feels like I haven’t done that much over the summer. Thing is, I’m unable to specify what more I should have done (or to what end). Travel more, I suppose. Go to Finland for a longer time, maybe.

But what’s done is done, and what wasn’t won’t be. There’s heavy rain on the way, and temperatures are on their way down. Pens, folders and note paper need buying. Library fines need paying and motivation needs finding.

Reunions start tomorrow.
