Time is flying by

I cannot believe it is already November. Time sure is flying by, and I’m powerless to stop it. It is so much that is going on and more will happen out the year, the question is how do we have time for everything?

This weekend we had daylight saving time, also known as the clock being set back one hour. So on Sunday we had one more hour in bed, one more hour for school work and one more hour to just relax. It was rather strange to go out for a walk yesterday and see how quickly the darkness came upon us, and it really hit me; it’s fall now.

The student life is very busy during fall and the time before Christmas. Essays to write and hand in, books to read, research, work and so on, and I guess we all are simply too busy to stop and appreciate what is happening around us. Fall is actually a very beautiful season with leafs changing into dazzling colours, but it is also associated with melancholy. The possibility of summer is gone, and the chill of winter is on the horizon. We can feel it in the air, and an extra blanket on our bed can be essential.

Even though the sky is turning grey and most of us are sitting inside in front of a lap top trying to make a deadline, we have something to look forward to. When fall comes, so does all the advertisement for Christmas. Here in London Oxford Street has been decorated, and in many stores around you will find Christmas ornaments and so much more. Christmas is the perfect excuse for a break in all of the studying, as it is so nice to go Christmas shopping and just glance at all the beautiful decorations. Although it is quite early to have the Christmas feeling, at least you have something to look forward to, and autumn may not seem so dark.

So I wish everyone a happy November, and good luck with all of your work. Doesn’t matter if its university essays or work from your employer, we all have a lot to do these days. Just don’t forget to take a look at the light outside, it is truly sparkling with beautiful colours, hopes and dreams.
