THe Downfalls of Fall

As you know from my previous blog named “Why I Blog” I explained that my passion was questioning and criticizing life and society and today I asked myself what’s so great about Fall or Autumn. As, I walked home in the cold while it was raining I came to the conclusion that Summer is really over and no matter how much I deny it Fall is here. Fall officially arrived on September twenty-first and at first I didn’t really notice because the weather had been sunny and warm and i was in denial. But, today, I noticed that Summer is definitely over and I have decided that I hate Fall. It is the one season that I don’t look forward too, because we all know what is coming next. Further, every other season has something to look forward too, like spring you know that the days will get longer, sunnier and then summer is here. I can even say some positive things about winter, its the season of Christmas, snowball fights and skating and this winter the olympics. But, in Fall the only thing to look forward to are the colourful leaves , but with comes the racking and unless your between the ages of two and ten you may get some enjoyment out of jumping in the leaves but otherwise its more work to clean up. What else can I say about the Fall, oh yes, the sun goes down earlier at night and when you get up in the morning it’s dark and cool. My nightly basketball games now end at six o’clock, and don’t forget having to wear a sweater or coat everyday sometimes even mitts. However, I think the most frustration thing about Fall is that this is when the school work starts to pile up as you get closer to midterm and the nightly homework increases. Although, I love Canada when Fall arrives I start to dream of warm sunshines and the sandy beaches of Jamaica.
