Halloween and Dots

Since is on Wednesday (a school day), the major Halloween stuff went on last weekend. It was fun to see people in costume Saturday. I think my favorite costume was the pink fuzzy gorilla that ran into me in a stairwell (and I didn’t have my camera with me….oh well), but there were so many funny and creative costumes including a group of box people, a bunch of wood fairies, and a Dumbledore and pairing. I went to one of the many Halloween parties at one of the fraternities, but missed out on a lot of the day time activities (like face painting and pumpkin carving) because I had an organic chemistry test to study for.

But the festivities aren’t over yet. Tomorrow night is the ghost tour, which I went on last year. Basically a group of people take you around to the various “haunted” places on campus. It is very amusing, plus they have food and drink stuffs (last year they had hot apple cider, my favorite fall drink!) There will also be events on Wednesday, and some of my professors encouraged us to dress up…I hope THEY dress up! Yes, I am definitely carrying my camera around this Wednesday.

Today was very busy for me. It was the first day we had tables at DK’s and Commons to register voters, and we registered 40 some odd voters! I also had to attend classes, finish study abroad recommendations for two of my friends, do a bunch of homework, and attend BelCon (the student congress) where I am the representative for International club. Not only were their two fire alarums during the meeting, but Alex, who incidentally also keeps a blog, hit me right between the eyes by some Dots (the gummy candy…but don’t be fooled by their gummy looking appearance, they are HARD)
