Leaves Leaves Everywhere...

These past couple of weeks have flown by. School has picked up, the Michigan vs. MSU game came and went, and the weather has definitely been changing. The past two weekends have been extra sunny which has been a very nice surprise from mother nature considering that during the week it has been around the low 50's high 40's. I find myself as I go about my daily life wondering how I am going to do certain things and how much more time they are going to take once winter comes. My roommate Courtney and I were talking the other day and she graciously informed me that every so often your car door freezes shut... yeah, WHAT? I feel like I already wake up far to early in the morning on internship days and now to be told that I will have to take extra time driving to internship to ensure I don't wreck my car and I will have to start my car a good 15 minutes before I leave and get all the snow off of it. Did I mention we have to shovel the snow off our sidewalk (we also live on a corner which means we have double the side walk). Wow winter is going to be very time consuming. I have already planned out my life so that I only have to leave the house by car on the days that I have internship. I will just have to do all my shopping and everything else on those days as well.

On a happier note, fall here in Michigan is absolutely beautiful. There are leaves everywhere and I mean everywhere and by now most of the trees that are going to change colors have and they are amazing to look at. I tried to take some pictures to show all you Californians since we don't really do the whole season thing but really the pictures don't do it justice.

And now on to the Michigan vs. Michigan State game. Well, as I have mentioned before football here is insane, but I hadn't seen anything until the Michigan Vs. MSU game. There were THOUSANDS of people here. There are so many people here that it wipes out the cell service and if you are anywhere near the stadium good luck using your cell phone. There were over a 113,000 people in the stadium that day and the energy was out of this world. Unfortunately we lost so I can't even imagine what it would have been like if we had been doing better. Here are some pictures from that day.

This cute man was standing outside of one of the many entrances into the stadium. This little sign says 1 ticket. He was just so cute I had to get him in a picture. Also, like this man it seems like people only every shout out the amount of tickets and fail to say if they are looking for them or selling them. Maybe I am just not educated enough about the world of scalping but I am always very confused.

It is kind of hard to see what is going on here but that car is in the front yard of some frat house and the car is painted green and white (Michigan State's colors) and says MSU all over it. People were taking turns with the sledge hammer and well you get the picture....insane but awesome.

This is pretty much what the streets/slash houses looked like: people, music, and lots of beer.

These last two are obviously from within the stadium. It was a fun game despite our loss.
