With several late nights and waking up to only 15 minutes in the morning to get ready and to get to class during these past few days, I've had to scrounge around quick for a scarf, for some socks, for some comfy long pants, for a coat...for anything!  The temperatures have been dropping here in Columbia, and it seems like I have used up all of my jeans and even my warm "bummy" pants because I've had to wear them all these past few days.  Also, as y'all probably saw in the pictures from the football game over the weekend, Megan and I hovered over a portable heater due to the dropping temperatures once the sun hit it low over the Fair Grounds.  Yep, y'all, it does get cold here down south in mighty Carolina.  Summer heats may be sweltering in Columbia, but the chill of the cold can get to the bones as well!  The fall season is indeed in the air, but today for a change...the sun came back! 

I was getting worried about not having anymore long pants to wear, but good ol' Mother Nature gave me a break today, and the sun shined all day long.  I think the reported high for the temperature was in the high 70s, getting close to 80 actually.  It was quite nice to be able to put the flipflops back on again!  As I was starting to get used to those furry, big, brown boots and big old coats all over campus, the skirts and the dresses made one more peek before the season of the summer clothing can be put to rest.

But then again, Mother Nature must be going through her time of the month or something, because I just checked Weather.com and it seems like tomorrow is going to be a morning filled with showers and temperatures ranging all over the 60s!  Then, Friday is supposed to be quite sunny, but the temperatures will be quite low--anywhere between 35-52 degrees.  Oh, what fun!

Well, just wanted to drop by and say hello.  I hope all y'all who were planning to apply for the Honors College, especially the top honors scholarship, have turned in your forms.  Tomorrow (November 15th) is the deadline!

Catch y'all later on the flipside, Gamecocks!
