Fall in Minnesota comes quickly, vibrantly reacting to the dropping temperatures with bursts of colors everywhere you look. It is about this time that the mild temperatures, beautiful trees, afternoon thunderstorms and abundance of things to do makes "the cities" a very attractive place to be.
Boe Chapel at St. Olaf was just recently remodeled providing one of the warmest sounds I have heard. Squeeze the absolutly musical student body into the building and tell them to sing and you will enjoy the most amazing communal singing anywhere.
Standing under the Memorial Wind Chime Tower you hear the gentle chimes eerily echo in memory of students who dies while enrolled at the College. Such a profound memorial with such musical beauty.
It's a rare oportunity to be able to study at this school, let alone be a Graduate Student in the midst of these overly talented and very smart 18-to-twentysomethings. I'll continue to count my blessings as the leaves descend and the cold slowly finds its way into Minnesota. ~soundguy

I'm a little jealous of the fall weather and the leaves....although it was 75 here today, which is equally glorious!
