It finally feels like September

So the temperature is finally down to the mid-70's and it feels like September. I mean, autumn officially starts in six days and up until yesterday, we've had temperatures in the mid-90's. I finally busted out with the hoodie yesterday.

So today, I was walking up the stairs to Grise Hall and I just kind of tripped up some of the stairs. Luckily, no one was around to witness my clumsy moment. But then, as I was going into Cherry Hall for creative writing, I tripped over the threshold, and this time, the guy holding the door was there to see the whole thing. I think my flip-flops are against me; they're trying to kill me. I need to get a new pair of shoes, I think. While the shoes I have are still in good shape, they just let in way too much water when it rains. With those shoes, I may as well just wear flip-flops outside when it rains because I end up with soaked feet anyway.

I have a list of stuff I need to do, but I don't think I'll get to it all. But here's the (out-of-order) list to remind myself:
1) Study for nutrition test (which is tomorrow morning)
2) Go to Lone Star for the diplomats meeting tonight
3) Start studying for international PR test (which is next Wednesday)
4) Start studying for marketing test (which is next Thursday)
5) Don't forget hair appointment next Tuesday at 4pm
6) Write poem for creative writing (due Thursday)
7) PRSSA meeting Monday
8) Get laundry done sometime over the weekend, or next week
9) Maybe get a new pair of shoes that will keep my feet relatively dry when it rains
10) Breathe!
11) Call home...maybe they have power back

That pretty much covers all of it.
But a hurricane basically went through the state this past weekend, and as far as I know, my family still doesn't have power back. My sister was off school for at least Monday, I know. I don't know if she went today. I need to text her to find out...if her phone hasn't died yet.

Oh, there is a circus in town right now and they have the tigers and the elephants out in one of the parking lots in front of Diddle Arena. The poor tigers are all cooped up in small cages. They're white tigers and they're really pretty...but the male tiger just seemed very agitated when I saw him today. The elephants just stand in place and eat and stand and eat. That's about all they have room to do. People like to stop by on their way to class because it is rather rare to see tigers and elephants in the parking lot of an arena in a small town such as Bowling Green, Kentucky.

I can't go to the circus tonight anyway because I have to go to a dinner/meeting with my fellow School of Journalism and Broadcasting diplomats. It's being paid for and everything. Yay me!

I think I should probably end this rambling post about now. I should find something to work on.
