Leisure, Letters and Leaves.

Holiday season starts very soon and I am excited. I am generally excited for Thanksgiving. I'm not usually a big fan of the holiday because it is usually dull for me, but I am fond of it now. Not then idea of Thanksgiving itself, but the whole getting off from school thing. I have a vast amount of work to do this break, but I will get over it soon enough.

I am contemplating staying at Hofstra for the winter break and work here to obtain money/solitude/invite people over to booze up. I said it. You were thinking it.

I was thinking today that people don't write letters enough. Letters are touching to me and always hits you at a personal level compared to a text message. I miss the time of writing letters. Well you might be thinking, well Winslow, you are connected to world due to your phone, why would you miss a time of letters? Wouldn't that be hypocritical? In a way, yes, but I feel that I miss certain people and a text message/call/IM is not enough sometimes, so I want to try once more to start writing letters to people and be fully committed to it. If you interested contact me. I don't care who you are. I just want to add some words and write some letters.

I started to make a mix today. A Mostly Autumn/A Little of the Early Holidays mix. Here is what I have so far. If you want to add, comment or if you want to say anything about the selections, do tell, I want to make it great, so any comments would be cool:

Autumn Leaves, you should listen to Cannonball's version instead of Miles'.
