october, november, and beyond

Clearly it's been quite some time since my last post. Where have I been, you ask? I don't even know. Time has been flying by this semester. Week after week I remark at how quickly it's going by. The week days are so busy with school work I barely have time to breath until friday afternoon, at which point the full weekend begins and goes pretty much not-stop until sunday afternoon at which point I spend the rest of the day getting back into school mode and repeat ad nauseum.

That said, there have been high points in the weeks. Now the hard part is picking them out of my memory. There's so much bouncing around up there. In order to sort the events out in my mind, I looked back at my previous blog post to see where I left off. Ah yes, fall break. Fall break seems as though it were last weekend.

The first key event of the past month that I can remember would have been halloween, which also happened to be the big 22 for me. The day was beautiful and sunny. The last day of a later sunset before the fall back. After a morning and afternoon spent homeworking, cleaning, and even relaxing, the festivities began with a lovely outing to Jim n' Nicks with some of the friends. I must say I love that place every time.. mainly the cheesy biscuits. That night was the raucous event that is halloween in Charleston. After giving up the whole costume search, Chris came up with the idea that we could be Irish brothers. This involved various green clothing, including a kilt made from a flannel shirt, and various Irish tattoos drawn on our arms. Also, a superb Irish accent we worked on the whole way to the party. Halloween '09: success.

Moving on... The next weekend the parents came to visit. The weather was perfect and gave them a break from the dreary cold north. We had a great time exploring the town, seeing some of my favorite sights, and eating at some of my favorite restaurants. I love my parents. They're simply the best. Parental visit '09: success.

Those are the key events that I feel like sharing. At some point in the hopefully soon future I will write on a more interesting somewhat philosophical debate I've been having with myself on authenticity and the reality of individuals.
