Fall of Autumn

A friend posted a fall album on Facebook filled with photos of colours. I’ve somehow forgotten that October isn’t just the big “MM” (midterm month); it’s also a time of change. I’ve forgotten how beautiful it can be with the leaves changing colours, bright red, orange, yellow. Maybe it’s because I live downtown now that there aren’t many trees. Or maybe I’ve just been too caught up going from lecture halls to libraries to dining halls to study rooms to bed to lecture halls to libraries to dining halls…that I’ve failed to notice the change in the trees that are around campus. Maybe it’s because the city of Toronto does too good of a job clearing the streets and pavement of falling leaves. I completely missed the trek and crunching of the fallen. I feel like the leaves here don’t turn bright colours. They just go directly to brown.
It’s really kind of upsetting. I miss the Vancouver streets. They’re colourful.
It could also be a conglomeration of all these things and the fact that I just don’t want to study any more. But alas, I must plough through.
The feeling of homesick, doesn’t usually hit me. It’s been very reminiscent.
More lecture halls.
