Happy Mountain Day! A Smith College tradition that even grad students get to celebrate. The president rung the bells early this morning and we all got the day off of classes.
I didn't wake up to the bells, but found out about the day off when checking my email. I'm so happy! They even put the heat on in the house, although it got a little too warm later in the day.
My friend Erika and I went to the local apple orchard to go apple picking. We met a cute dog, got a bunch of apples, and bought some pecan pie. Unfortunately it was still too early in the season for apple cider, but the day was appropriately beautiful, so nothing could ruin it.
The afternoon was spent making three apple pies, relaxing, and listening to music. Unfortunately I had a night class later that I had to attend, but I love fall and surprise days off! I'll miss you Smith College....
