Classes are over and final exams loom over every students head. The good thing about fall semester exams means there are always fun Christmas-y activities involving free food and relaxation during this stressful period. Today, free gingerbread house building. Tomorrow, free Bojangles, Cookout, massages, and late night breakfast. Despite all my efforts to create a beautiful gingerbread house (really made with graham crackers), the strong wind gusts of our 70 degree day and my heavy roof led to the destruction of this sugary fantasy home. It's OK though, because Santa Claus is Comin' to Town is on ABC Family and my procrastination efforts could not be more exemplary.
My Unofficial End of Autumn
In my book, and probably many others, winter starts December 1st. Therefore autumn ends November 30th. It's the last day of the hurricane season, most leaves have fallen off the trees, and football season is over. Well, college football is basically over. This year, my autumn was magical and colorful. It was also full of pumpkin spice coffee, pancakes, bread, donuts. It was also full of apples. Honey Crisp apples because they are my favorite. Now it is time for sugar cookies, peppermint mochas, and grandma's infamous tamales.
