So as promised, I am going to start today’s blog with some more fall break things… 
We took my friend Jie to house on the rock, and it was weird. There are all these amazing sculptures and things, paired with really odd exhibits. This picture is of a mechanical music box thing that actually plays the song “Octopuses Garden” and is huge.
On our way back from the House on the Rock, my mother pulled over at this pumpkin patch and we ended up buying this huge pumpkin!
Now, moving on to more recent events….
Yesterday we had an emergency drill which involved a bunch of state agencies including the bomb squad, homeland security, the police, the hospital, and a bunch of other people. I heard that the Governor was there, but did not see gov’ner Doyle myself.
There was a roped off area so that students could observe the goingons. This club on campus called Theater of Confusion dressed up like superheroes for the day and carried signs, my favorite one was “imaginary crimes call for imaginary heroes!” and also the one that said “Heroes hate doors too! (The SWAT team got to blow up a door).

I had to be in class at 8 anyway, though Paul let us out an hour early to see the drill. There were a bunch of fires lit, and some Beloit students had been enlisted to play “the victims”. All in all, it was an interesting experience.
