Autumn Arrived

In all my teacherly garb.

It's fall! Today is the official first day, but it's been sneaking in all week. To celebrate, I haven't taken my towel to school in a week. I switched from shorts to pajama pants. Even whipped out a comforter to replace my wispy summer blanket.

This is my favorite season, and I plan to make the most of it. We're looking at a pretty busy October up ahead. With preparation for English Day at school and chalk full weekends, I wonder when I'll ever get the time to do laundry again! I'm hoping to go rafting, visit Kyoto and/or Hiroshima for the autumn leaves (and sightseeing, of course!), participate in a big Aikido event, go to Culture Day at my tech school, and camp out on a mountain to see the sunrise. Weather may dictate the likelihood of each event, but I'm sure at least some will come to pass.

What are your plans for this fall? Let's enjoying!
