Listening to a lot of music lately, as I'm working at my computer continually. I've decided that the song that most represents for me this summer is Run, by Snow Patrol. This British rock song elicits, still, strong emotions and melancholy thoughts. Also, it brings back mememories of sitting on the back porch with Libby, or Lem (There's a particularly vivid memory of him dancing all crazy to the song), or Phil, with the music very quietly playing in the dark night.

It was nice when it was so warm we could all relax outside into the late evenings on Friday nights. Even so, the summer was somewhat melancholy because it didn't seem like I got to spend enough time with Libby. Funny thing is, I still don't feel like I get to spend enough time with Libby, and I'm not sure that I do get to spend any more time with her than I did in the summer... in fact, perhaps less. But the semester is soon to end!

I am tired of it, so it's about time. I wouldn't mind returning to this last summer, if only for the pleasant night-time weather, which is now replaced by chilling cold, which sends us all rushing indoors.

My first project once the rush of the semester's end is itself over, is to develop Christmas spirit, of which I've only felt glimmers at Church and in a few reflective thoughts walking from one place or another on Christ's wonderful gift. But, the general communitity spirit hasn't effected me yet. Christmas lights spark slight interest, but then are forgotten because of all the stress. I used to really like Christmas lights. I hope that I do again this year.
