Today is a beautiful Fall day. Yes, a bit cold, yes a bit rainy, and yes, the bottoms of my jeans will be soaked for the rest of the day because I forgot to wear rain boots, but it's still beautiful nonetheless. Fall makes me think of curling up on a couch with a good book, Starbucks hot chocolate, and my pink fleece blanket.
Speaking of books, have I ever mentioned I love them? This next story will prove how literary and bookish I am. After the General Relief Society broadcast Saturday night (which was wonderful), I had the strongest urge to go to Barnes and Noble. I kept telling myself I had stuff to do after the broadcast, but the urge wouldn't go away. So I went. And it was wonderful! I think I spent an hour or more there, just looking. I love walking in and smelling the Starbucks smell, a mix of coffee, chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mm! I looked all over the store, from the children's section to the cookbook section to the biography section. I spent time looking at cool coffee table books I want to have in my home one day. A coffee table book can say a lot about the people who live there!
So yes, it's stories like this that make me love my major. I hope someday I can have my own library, and not just have it, but actually use it. Reading to me is such an amazing way to learn about people, cultures, life, history, anything. My wish right now is that I had more free time to read for myself. School and work are definitely keeping me busy. Maybe someday! But until then, I heart Barnes and Noble.
