With my favorite month ever (October) about to begin, I can't believe how busy I'm going to be! Autumn is my favorite time of year, hands down. But since I've been so busy, I haven't been able to enjoy it. Between homework and going home, it's been hard to find time to just relax. But October is going to be busy enough that I doubt I'll be able to make it home too much. Kim is coming up (YAY!) to visit in a few weeks, and Halloween weekend is going to be spent in Rockford (again, YAY!) In between, my weekends are going to be dominated by studying -- be it for the FSOT, which is coming up in less than two weeks, or the GRE, which I'm taking the first weekend of November. Since I love Autumn so much, though, I need to slow it down a little and enjoy the weather. I'll wish I had come winter.

Anyway, today is the first day I'm getting out of my apartment to do something fun. I'm going up the block to see Paris, a movie that just started airing in the US. It's described as a "love letter to Paris," and I pretty much love any movie described as such. Plus, it stars the woman who played Shoshanna in Inglourious Basterds, and Roman Duris, who is a French actor who starred in Dans Paris, which I've been dying to see. Louis Garrell actually starred in the movie The Dreamers, which was an obsession in high school. It's rated NC-17, and since I was 16 when it came out, my mom would have to rent it for me.

Anyway, that's my plan for today. I need to stop and get a copy of this book "The Ayatollah Begs to Differ" while I'm out and about, as well. I will probably be home early, so I could finish cleaning, but I might put it off until tomorrow. We'll see.
