Fall Break

Most of my fall break, out of school, was spent sleeping for long periods of time, but for a few days I did go on vacation with my girlfriend to Gatlinburg. The time there was pretty fun, and the Smokey Mountains were incredible looking. The entire town was filled with little places to eat like at a carnival, not to mention the tons of candy and ice cream shops, it seemed like there was a pancake restaurant every 100 feet down the road. Gatlinburg seemed to be ran be the Ripley's  believe it or not company. All together it was a quite enjoyable experience and I wouldn't mind going back soon.

Senses

Halloween is a great time of year, and our senses can show why this is. The sights of the pumpkins and light and all kinds of people dressed up walking down the street that set the mood. The taste of the treats that people give out, and even the smell of leaves, pumpkins, and sugar is in the air. You can hear people chanting trick or treat as they walk from door to door begging for candy. The cool fall air on your skin just makes this time of year just feel great. So Halloween is a great time of the year to get out and exercise your senses!

Career

The past year I decided that I wanted to be a civil engineer. After thinking about this for a long time, I realized how boring this would be, and a lot more difficult than I expected, mostly because of my drafting 2 classes and the amount of work, thinking, and mathematics involved. The career choice I have now thought about pursuing is a doctor. But if I wish to obtain this goal it will sure be a lot of work, four years of college studying all the different sciences followed by taking another four years of medical school and even after that I can't get a job as a doctor, I would have to do another 3  to 8 years of residency and internship depending on the type of doctor I would like to be. I'll have to work very hard during the long eight years in school, but I think I'm ready to take this up, and the rewards for succeeding will be vast.

Fear

Children today and throughout history always seem to have certain fear of things before they hit adulthood. As a child i was always afraid of the dark. Every night I would either have to have some sort of light on in my room or the tv on. This usually kept me up longer but got me not to be afraid. On the nights i didn't do either of these things, i would get so scared listening to my house creek and heater making noises, as well as other things outside. And the shadows of things in my room would make me think id see someone or something in my house that didn't belong. Lately I just turn on my fan so I wouldn't be able to hear anything going on. I guess that was one of my main fears as a child, but I am still very afraid and creeped out by spiders, who knows when ill outgrow this.

Autumn

Autumn to me is the greatest time of the year, it's not hot and its not too cold. It just makes you want to go outside and do something rather than trying to avoid the heat of the summer that just passed. Even though it usually always looks rather gloomy outside, it makes it feel peaceful and calm and you could just sit outside for hours and enjoy the scenery. The trees and the leaves covering the grass, that is slowly turning a light brown color, just blends together and gives color, instead of all green. The crunching of leaves when you walk is also enjoyable along with smell of the air and wind that brings it along. Now if only leaves could rake themselves.
