Whenever autumn comes around, I become very nostalgic. Of what, I'm not sure. But for some reason whenever the days get darker earlier, I become very nostalgic. Some think it has to do with the fact that autumn is when you go back to school. So I guess that's true-- I reminisce being in school and holidays over the years.
I had dinner with my friend, her friend, and her family tonight before she flew back to Ann Arbor (lucky midwest and east coast schools with their fall breaks!). Her younger brother is a freshman in high school now. It's crazy! I used to get so annoyed when people would see me and go, "ohhh you're so grown up now! I remember when you were little!" Now I find myself doing that to people like my friend's brother. Wow, it has been 9 years since I was in his position as a freshman. I think my favorite years of high school were freshman and sophomore year. After that, everything went downhill! hahaha :-P A lot of my friends would whine about getting older when their birthdays came around, but I never felt that way probably because I was always the last one to turn whatever age. I was the last one to turn 16 and be able to drive; I was the last one to turn 18 and be able to sign myself out of class (even that didn't apply, since I turned 18 at the end of my first semester in college); I was the last one to turn 21... you get the picture. But now that I'm surrounded by people who are younger than me, I'm starting to feel a bit old. And of course I can't really say that out loud without offending my co-workers who are older than I am!
Here's something funny that SJ said to me recently. We were talking about something and I didn't understand what he was talking about. So he said to me, "What's going on in your head?? Is it just a bunch of rats and pugs running around in there??" :) :) heehee!
If you don't already know, pugs are NOT athletic. They can't handle long walks or running. Some people even recommend carrying them around in those baby pouches you strap on your back. My kind of doggie!
