Quick thought on fall

I am avoiding work at the moment so here is a quick thought.


I miss fall. I wish we could actually get fall for more than 1 week. It is great to be able to warm up some coffee, sit by the fire-pit, wear a scarf and be perfectly content. It makes me so happy to sit in our back yard and just enjoy the crisp air. Stupid snow had to come and ruin it for me. I am a big fan of sweater and scarf weather. Scarves are a perfect accessory; functional and fashionable. I even have a scarf with pockets on the ends.

Also a quick thought on group work in college. For some reason a lot of professors are all about group work. In one of my classes we took a test today, the test was initially taken individually, then as a group. The individual score counted for ½ the total score, and the other ½ came from the group score. I know none of you doubt that I am smart, but I hate having to carry my group. I spent the weekend studying for the test. I only missed one question individually and got 100% for the group test. I hate that others benefit from my hard work. My other team members all earned 70-80% on their individual test, but got a bump from the team 100% score that I contributed the most to.

Quit using me for good grades!
