Fall: autumn is the only season that gets a second name

Finally got my TA assignment for the term, so tutorials start next Tuesday. I've been trying to use the past couple of weeks to catch up on some work, to (re)establish some sort of schedule or routine. There are paper and abstract deadlines, funding and job applications, finalising next term's courses, and doing everything possible to avoid another student loan fiasco. I've a much loved friend visiting this week, the leaves are beginning to change and the nights are breezy and cool, so I'm happy.
