I seriously cannot believe that its October already! This year is really flying by... I think I've been too busy running around to really stop and notice how great autumn is here in MA. Its my favorite season, and I usually try to make it a point to head to Hubbardston to see New England foliage at its finest in my hometown, so that it what I did this weekend. It was absolutely fantastic to go home and see my parents, and to get out of the city for a bit. I think it was just what I needed; I came back to the city yesterday feeling a lot more relaxed and ready to take on Dr Bursik's classes.

I also went apple-picking yesterday with my roommate, Emily, which was soo much fun! You may be wondering where I went apple-picking in Boston, and the truth is that I didn't; Emily rented a zip car and drove to Hubbardston from Cambridge, and we ventured to another small town named Sterling, MA to go to this tiny, wicked cute orchard. We had lots of fun picking apples and pumpkins and having cider and all of that fun stuff, but our trip came to an unfortunate end when the apple bag split open as we were walking from the train station to the North End, and our apples flooded the street to meet their fate as roadkill. We did manage to save a few, though, so it wasn't a complete loss.

I'm really glad that I had such a great weekend, because it kicked off what is to be a great week at Suffolk. Tomorrow night I am going to a free showing of Wall-E in the Donahue Cafeteria. I absolutely love that movie, and if you're looking for something free to do on a Tuesday night, this event can't be beat. Suffolk is always putting on events like this, and its one of the things I like best about going to school here; there is always something to do around here, and Suffolk tries really hard to provide things to do at a cheap cost so all students can enjoy it. On Thursday, we also have our Jason Mraz concert, which I am sooo pumped for! He's fantastic, and the fact that we got him to come do a show for Suffolk students only is awesome! Its bound to be a good time, but I will definitely update you on all of this next week.

Stay tuned! And in the mean time, make sure you're registered to vote if you can! Its time for change and you can be a part of it!! : )
