Falling into fall

So long, September! September for me was an interesting month. As annual tradition my allergies attacked. Work got busier and school started which means I lost my awesome fast commute in exchange for dealing with tons of traffic and underclassmen, le sigh. September also brought out a monumental occasion...my first fall in the middle of a college campus. That's right kids, I went to undergrad for four years...walked across a horribly icy bridge during the winter time for an entire year and the only time I ever fell was right in front of my own apartment (which faced off campus so it didn't count). O no, this fall definitely triumphed.

I had a great day...the kinda day where I was just asking for it. Work went well in the morning, class went well in the afternoon, then I had a great discussion after class with my professor. Well, leaving the academic building and somehow I missed the step out front. Next thing I knew...WHAM! I was on the ground with my books sprawled out next to me. It was like the classic campus freshman falls during a 1980s film moment. I got a massive bruise that is my latest battle scar and is still there now.

I guess I was falling into fall.
