So Long, Sweet Summer

My posting has been sparse this week, indirectly due to the DNS troubles. Knowing that not many people are going to be able to see the posts until who-knows-when (hopefully soon) is a real bummer.

But at any rate, I'll keep on keepin'-on, as they say.

Yesterday marked the beginning of autumn for those of us on planet Earth, and I can already feel the scents and feelings of the season creeping in. All it takes is one deep breath as you walk outside here in Blacksburg, and you'll be able to tell. The leaves are beginning to turn. The days, while roughly equal in daytime and nighttime, have a temperature difference of 40 degrees. Football's in town. I think I enjoy the start of every season for different reasons, and those are some I'd list for autumn. As the nights gradually grow longer and the days grow colder, I'll gradually start wishing for spring again, but for now ... pull up a chair, autumn. I'll brew you some tea.

I tackled my first Statistical Quality Control test tonight, armed with no less than 4 textbooks, a pile of notes, and some practice tests dating back 6 or 7 years. Oh, and my brain, too. I think I'll be at least around the average for the class, which is about as good as you can hope for in situations like these. Hey, that's another sign of autumn, too: it's usually right around the first test week of school. Blimey.

Until I ramble again, keep yourself out of trouble, unlike Cat Stevens.
