Waning days of summer
I'm not quite prepared to admit that summer is gone, and that the shortening days and the cooler afternoons mean that autumn is upon us. I'm taking advantage of the sunny afternoon and Columbia's wireless network to study, blog, and relax on the lawns. Civil procedure and Bluebook citations are so much less daunting when there's daylight on your face.
It is ending, though. The oppressive heat of the summer is over, but the earth I'm sitting on is cold and damp, and when the shade of the Butler library passes over me the air becomes almost chill. Within a month the leaves will start to turn, and I'll be stuck within my apartment more and more.
Enjoy it while it lasts, eh? Autumn has its own romances, I suppose, but for some reason this summer has been more pleasant than I have come to expect from the season.

Thanks for the shout-out on my humble blog.
I also sneak outside to study, occasionally beer in hand to the balcony, where the blue book, shepardizing, and the rest of 1L hell is more tolerable.
I fear winter!
