Comeback!

After a week and a half in bed I'm finally back on track! I've been in school all day and it's been great, got a couple of very satisfactory midterm results back, and that surely contributed to the overall school experience of the day:) 

Fall is starting to move in over southern California, the days are still warm and pleasant but the mornings are getting rougher and rougher. I love the weather here (everyone who knows me are well aware of my low cold tolerance level;), but I miss the seasons that we take for granted, and sometimes curse over, in Sweden. Sure, I can live without the unpredictable weather that often makes one walk an entire day in wet shoes, but I miss all the colors.. Fall doesn't just sneak up on you to invisibly escape a month or two later, you can see it, feel it, and even smell it. I actually started thinking about this the other day as I overheard a conversation on the bus. Two girls were arguing over the status of the current season, one girl started by embracing the mild nature of Californian winter, the other one responded by giving a seasonal lecture on how fall stretches all through October. I found this interesting because, to be honest, I've never really given it much thought. I've always relied on nature and the environment to establish seasonal transitions, in Sweden fall is real, here it's more of a manmade concept that exists because it's "suppose" to. Hmm... fascinating as I think about it...

Well, enough of my philosophical nonsense, I have an important date with the best TV-series ever, "raising the bar". Don't know if it's aired in Sweden yet, but when it is, I encourage everyone to watch it! Just a word of warning; It's addictive!
