I’m Ready For Fall

I am slowly starting to dress as though it’s fall, hoping that if I ignore these sunny days I will suddenly wake up to a crisp fall morning. Summer has always been my favorite season, but this year I am longing for boots and knitted sweaters instead. Too bad Minnesota doesn’t seem to agree with me, because it is still warm enough in the afternoon to wear sundresses and shorts.

So for today’s math department picnic I put on boots for the first time since winter. I’m in love with this simple pair that I got at Forever 21 the other day. Black, sleek, and comfortable. They will be worn a lot in the coming months.

We had a fun day, and I got to know Andy’s coworkers and students a little better. The whole department is a very tight-knit group, and they seem to be welcoming us with open arms. Our two years here are looking better every day!
