Columns in Autum

Today I am writing this blog while sitting under the columns that you see in almost every Mizzou promotional picture. Its one of those beautiful fall days. Sunny, warm, pleasant breeze, and the trees many different colors. There probably won't be many more days like this the rest of the year so I figured I should take advantage. This was aided by Jillian's text with a picture of a multi-colored tree on campus saying "yay fall" and as soon as I was done with piano for the day (around 3) I headed over to the quad which is where I sit now.

Bits of interesting news developments today and I don't want to worry you, because you know I always take care of myself. The news of the UConn football player stabbed and later passing away yesterday, along with the news I just got in an email of a girl who lives on the floor above unexpectedly passing away this morning, has once again brought to mind to many people the frailty of life. I'm not one for all this emotional and philosophical stuff but I thought I should pass along what thoughts came to mind today. That and learning various arguments as to why God exists in philosophy class today have been very interesting. Even our philosophy teacher claimed to be in an existential mood today. It's funny how when one of these days comes along, it seems to affect everyone in some shape or form. In out english class today, our teacher let us out 20 min early because everyone seemed to be in a funk (probably because it was monday, but today was very noticable) Its been a thought provoking day to say the least.

The wind is now picking up and getting a little cooler so I think I will head to the library and start with my mound of Econ reading to do. Or maybe I'll sit here and enjoy the day and relax a little more and plan the week ahead. Talk to you guys soon and enjoy the game on saturday. Love you!
