seasons changing in my body.

i don't know if it has something to do with my sinuses, or just my body knowing that it's september, or being back in school but it feels like fall is in the air. which is weird, because it's our summer now out here in sf. but i feel really nostalgic, and smells and memories keep swirling up - nothing specific, just that FEELING of autumn in the midwest. it's almost like i can smell the leaves changing, and feel the brisk air, and i want to get all wrapped up and cozy in a big comfy sweater. in my mind i feel like there will be fallen, brightly colored leaves everywhere when i step outside, and that halloween is coming up soon, and the days are getting shorter. i guess part of that applies still, but it's so strange that i just have that feeling in my heart and in my chest and just in my body in general. i suddenly am finding myself excited for thanksgiving. i'm longing for pumpkin pie, pumpkin ale, sweet potatoes; overnight, my mouth is watering for them.
it's strange to be in a place without seasons. well, without real seasons. in the beginning of the summer i wanted hot weather SO BADLY (which is september & october in SF), but now, i'm craving the coolness of autumn. maybe it's because i went to hawaii & chicago twice over the summer so i already got that fix of hotness, and i'm ready to cool off now. i was so excited to wear all of my summer clothes, and now i find myself wanting to ditch the summery stuff and wear more fall styles.
