Squirrels and leaves! I thought it was too cute to pass up. Its moments like these that make me carry my camera everywhere with me. This is one thing that makes these squirrels different from the ones at UCF- these have fall leaves to run around in! I get excited by the little seasonal things here that I have never seen in Florida. I have to enjoy it while I can. I don't know what will happen to the squirrels in the winter. Enjoy the pics.

Chandler and I at Ashley and Jason's wedding on 10/2106 in West Palm. It was nice being home, but I didn't get much work done. So now I'll be working hard finishing everything up and not falling behind. That means I won't have as much time for posting here! I'll try when I can!
And here's a pic of me at work at WorldTeach. This is my little area and computer. I know it doesn't seem very exciting, but I like it!

Burt's Bees photo taken at Harvard Square's Oktoberfest. Mike found the picture online today. We both got free Burt's Bees lip balm!

Another win for Harvard football! Today we beat Lafayette 24-7. Our record is now 5-0! Looking good! We have 5 more games and 2 home games left to play. The next two home games are Nov. 4 vs Columbia and Nov. 18 vs Yale. Here's a pic of the stadium (that is quite empty, but should be sold out for the Yale game). And, of course, another pic of the pretty leaves that are gradually changing color.

My Social and Moral Development classroom.






Friday night in Boston....its getting cold! We were going to a party for all of Harvard's grad students. PS walking around Boston in heels is not fun. Daniela, Mike, me, Kevin, Rachel, and Doug.

Memorial Hall before the leaves change color. I hope to add a pic once the trees change. I'm so excited for fall!

A tree changing color in Harvard Yard! Under the American flag is the statue of John Harvard.


More pics to come as the fall colors progress!

Red Sox ice cream. I can't believe this is actually sold at the grocery stores here. Bostonians are hard core.

Oktoberfest in Harvard Square was today. Not very German: no polka, no lederhosen, but it was still fun. Food, music, vendors, and lots of people. The roads around the square were closed- see picture from 9/30 to compare a normal day with the pics above. Good times.

Today was the Harvard vs Cornell football game. Final score 33-23 Harvard!! It was definitely much cooler outside than the first game in September. Slowly, the leaves are starting to change color and I can tell it is going to be very beautiful. I am, however, getting more nervous about the low temperatures that will come after the pretty leaves! There are lots of squirrels everywhere, but I wonder what they do in the cold? Hibernate? I guess they don't migrate south. Today I gave one a pistachio and took his picture. He was pretty cute.

Yesterday was my first intramural football game. It was a lot of fun to be on the field again, but I sure missed my UCF teammates! The games are coed, but somehow I was the only girl on my team. The teams are divided by house and are primarily undergrads. I think my team, Dudley House, is the only grad team. I'm on this team because of the dorm I live in. I'm pretty sure that's how all the undergrads are divided, too. So far our team's record is 2-0! I couldn't make the first game, but I guess they did fine without me. We have another game next week- I can't wait!
