I will not miss Cornelius–I mean the leaf–at all. Maybe I will stop sneezing and breaking out in hives now. Its kind of sad, after all this time I’m going to just throw it out. It’s causing me to sneeze because of my seasonal allergies. The only thing keeping it from being thrown away is this project. We start out shiny and new and end up old and crumpled, just a bag of bones (the stem and veins). This is representative of the circle of life. The stem and veins are intact, yet the rest of the leaf is crumpled up and ripped. In that moment I was glad I crushed the leaf. The leaf pieces lay on the floor, almost mocking me for getting worked up over a cricket. I ended up vacuuming up the cricket and it died in the vacuum. A HUGE cricket was in my room today, and the pieces of leaf were scattered because I threw things across the room at the cricket. I left the pieces on the windowsill so I can continue to observe them. believe me, the crunch sounds I heard were IMMACULATE. I smushed it between my fingers because I was bored of it. A fly flew into my room before and landed on it, however it was unaffected. One could mistake this leaf for a different type of leaf.

I really want to name it Cornelius, but the textbook says I am not allowed to name it. The sun does not reflect off of the leaf anymore. The veins and stem are standing out most because they are not losing pigment. It’s more dry than yesterday, and the color is dulling more and more. The leaf’s edges are starting to curl up.
When I do my geography homework, I tend to get anxious because it’s so uninteresting, but the leaf somewhat calmed me down. I like to glance at the leaf throughout the day while I’m doing other work because it has a beautiful, calming red color. The veins and stem are curling up a little bit. The red color is less rich because it dried a bit. It feels less like blubber and more like paper now. It was beautifully shaped so of course I picked it up, thinking “this would be perfect for my blog post!” Day 2 I found it outside of the dining hall on the ground. Does it depend on the type of tree the leaf is from? It looks like a maple leaf, so that would make sense because maple leaves are usually red, hence the Canadian flag. I wonder why it turned red and not orange or yellow. The leaf is about the size of my hand, held together through its stem and veins. The sun reflects off of its red color nicely.
