I miss the fall

Last fall semester, that is. :(

I have a playlist of songs that remind me of all those times, and listening to some of the songs take me back then emotionally.

This new semester will be something great. I just know it. I'm already liking my new job a lot. I know I have a great group of people that I work with. As Barb said, we're more like a group of friends working together, and I see that to be the case just from my second day there. I'm even getting more confident with simple things like pouring and pipetting.

But there was something beautiful about the fall that I miss so dearly. Symbolically, it was a great new beginning for me. I was just beginning to really discover how wonderful biology and philosophy are (well, I knew philosophy was really special since my intro class... but as I mentioned in an earlier post, right from the first day of Philosophy of the Biological Sciences, I remembered how much philosophy means to me and decided to do a double major). There's something amazing about that innocent time of discovery.

Now I feel like it's going to be mostly hard work.

But damn. Nothing takes me back so (almost) completely like those songs...
