Journal #8

I honestly do not have a favorite season because I have many pros and cons for all of the seasons. Fall and spring are my two favorite seasons because they are not very harsh.  I think that Fall is probably one of my favorite seasons because school starts in the fall. I also enjoy autumn because of the temperatures.  Fall has a nice balance of warm and cool temperatures.  In fall, there is not usually hot or cold temperatures, they are generally mild.  BONFIRES! I love bonfires! Bonfires are so much fun! I love to sit around a warm fire and talk with my friends.  I am actually going to a bonfire this weekend at Emma and Izzy Durham's house.  I am so excited because the temperature is just getting to the right place for bonfires. Bonfires are probably my favorite part of the Autumn season.  I just love the smell of the fire and I like how my clothes hold the bonfire smell for a long time.  Another thing that I love about Fall is Homecoming.  Homecoming week is probably the best week of school.  The teachers always realize that because we are so excited, we are probably not going to accomplish a lot of school learning.  I like the fact that the teachers are lenient on what we can wear to school for the theme of the day.  Another thing that I love about Homecoming week is that we get out early on Friday and there is a football game. Homecoming dress shopping is also an important part of the Fall season. I love to go Homecoming dress shopping with friends because I tend to try on things that I might like, but otherwise I would not have picked out by myself. Football games are probably another reason why I like Autumn because I love to watch people I know play football.  I enjoy going to the University of Illinois football games with my dad, but I enjoy going to the Plains football games more because I actually know the people that are playing.  I think that it is fun to sit in the stands with my friends and cheer on the football boys.
