Fall!! Woohoo!!
I love Colorado in the fall. Actually, I love it all the time. BUT right now its fall and I LOVE fall! The leaves are changing, they crunch as I step on them while I walk across campus, and the night is crisp. My room was 61 degrees this morning when I woke up and even though it did make it hard to get out of bed, it’s so nice to not be hot! (My apartment does not have AC so this summer it was really warm) The down side is that it can get really cool…like this weekend. It is homecoming and I’m so excited about the game, but its suppose to be something like 54 degrees. That stinks. For the football guys is great because they don’t get to hot, but for all the poor fans, well, its an experience. Hopefully the weather doesn’t keep people away! They’ll be disappointed when they miss an amazing game! I’m so so SO excited about the game. I really think we’re going to win this one!
The last few games have been a little rough. I am studying athletic training and so I work very closely with the football team. Athletic training is unique in the fact that even though we don’t play the sport, we celebrate and morn when the team wins and loses as if we played. We’re there for the practices at 7:00am, we’re there on the field; we’re there with them the entire time. I think this is the weekend. 
Ah, fall football. And Frisbee. Rus, who is an avid ultimate Frisbee player, took me out the other morning and taught me how to throw and catch. I did pretty well! I was impressed. I guess I’ll have to go back out and do it again to find out if it was a fluke or not. Sometimes I’ll do something once and do really well and then the next time…well, lets just say its not pretty. One time I went bowling and got a strike and then had gutter balls for the next 3 or 4 bowls (I’m not sure that’s what you call rolling the ball down the lane…). Consistency. Its not always there for me. But that’s ok!! Its fun to learn new things!
I hope you all are having a wonderful fall! Have a great day!
