autumn

is here for good, although it was officially autumn at the start of september - from which people (some, but not all) started wearing autumn wear (which, for certain japanese, means furry russian-esque hats and heavy duty warm boots with mini shorts - i dont get the logic) - and the autumn equinox, which was also a public holiday, was on tuesday.

being autumn, it means that it's cold when the sun is down or when it's cloudy, but baking hot still when it's sunny. it kinda sucks because it means that you have to go out prepared for cold AND hot weather, and dress accordingly too. and it means cold winds that make me freeze too.. i think i need to get more long sleeved stuff and get myself better prepared for autumn, cos i'm still wearing my summer clothes around! i actually woke up feeling cold today even though my screen door was only about a quarter open, and it was cold when i went downstairs to get to school too.

booo. it's cold but i dont see the leaves changing colour!
