Wake Me Up

It's that time of year again - the time when leaves change color, the temperature begins to fall back a few degrees, and all the lovely things that autumn brings arrive in full-swing. (That is, if you don't live in the Bay Area, where one can continue to buy flowers in beautiful fall colors all year long.)

It's also the time of year when high school seniors such as myself start to feel the pressure of college application deadlines looming ahead of us, and when those of us who are applying early decision begin to wonder if a November due-date isn't perhaps maybe just a teensy bit too soon?

So here's to the end of September: may it arrive soon enough that we can revel in October's loveliness, but not so soon that I only have a month left to fill out that Common Application.
