but

I just have to add that it's sunny and blustery outside, and that the wind keeps blowing up swirls of leaves so high that they're flying *over* our 4-floor dorm and falling like rain.

And, (last thing, I promise) I hit a high C in my voice lesson on Tuesday and could have gone higher, and it sounded good! I know none of you care or probably have any idea what a high C sounds like...but it's a big deal for me.
