August!

August is here! Do you know what that means? August means band… and band camp. School. Shorter days. Less light. Less warmth eventually. August is sort of that bridge into the short fall… Come September it’ll be chillier, but not cold yet. But by October it’ll be snowing or something stupid. GRRR. And I don’t even think of those months being close… until August.

August… procrastination on my summer reading! Must read “Once and Future King” before school. I have about four weeks. August… school supplies… shopping… new clothes… lots of jeans.

August… Marching band! Long Friday nights… quick weekends. Weekends are never long enough no matter what month it is. Meeting new people… getting schedules for classes… finding your new locker… finding out you’re taking easy courses. Or really really hard ones.

August… time to sign up for all the activities you’ll be engaged with, obsessed with, and sick of for the rest of the year. Goodbye freedom. But August is a really gorgeous month… fresh, crisp air. Mmm… apples! Fresh apple cider’s coming… Ooh, fall! Leaves turning, pumpkins ripening… apples! Long rides to look at the leaves to the orchard. Corn on the cob! Mmm… it’s soooo good! Acorn squash! YUMMY! *sigh* It is an awesome month. It’s the start of school, which isn’t all that great, but it’s also the beginning of fall and marching band!

Sorry if this entry’s been rather… scattered. I was just going off on whatever I thought of!
