Approach of Autumn

Autumn

6th April 2008 (we had 48 mm of rain fall in 6 hours yesterday)

A month ago, looking through my window, I noticed a leaf drop. It was green when it fell, and I thought maybe it was the work of a bird. But now, in the first week of April, the leaves of the Platanus are brown tipped and yellowing at the edges. Autumn is showing herself. I for my part have been working 7 days a week and for many hours each day, trying to get this thesis finished. It is a drawn-out process and one that requires my utmost attention and focus, that at times I just don't have. My leaves are losing their green. Winter is approaching and my thesis hand-in-date is looming.
