Trick or Treat?

Happy Halloween everyone! Although the weekend is over, it was one to remember and America certainly shined. Halloween went for more than a day, it was an entire week!

First off was pumpkin carving. My roommate Kristin and I went to my friend Meredith's room and had our first ever pumpkin carving experience. We also got to eat roasted pumpkin seeds and a delicious sweet potato casserole and I am very thankful for the experience.

L-R: Kristin, me, Ava, also me!

Towards the end of the week went on a few "halloween" trips. First off was the Haunted House at Reese Hall (on campus). Went in with my friend Nicole and her friend Olivia. Thing is, Nicole doesn't get scared very easily, so she enjoyed the terror Olivia and I showed and even told people to chase me for kicks! Evil, but made the night even better ^_^

The next night was the Corn Trail of Doom in Corryton with Andy Holt apartments (or ARTA). Will and I headed the front group of ten people, whom one of them (A.J.) officially named "Team Pup-n-suds." The trip was wonderful, lots of screams, men with chainsaws, little kids being creepy, and almost no light (the stars were wonderful!). Made a few new friends, particularly with the girl who held on to me and I held on to back, Lauren. He he, all in all, another great experience.


Creepy corn......

 Then of course, it was the weekend. And what a weekend it was! The night began with me making a pasta meal for six people! (Who included Kristin, Janneke, Jieun, Chris, Doug, and me) The pasta I made was just simple stuff, added a sauce and made spaghetti, but everyone really liked it! I felt very grown up and proud of myself. Dinner parties certainly have a bit of a mature feel, except for the costumes of course....
Speaking of costumes....



L- R: Me, Kristin, Doug, Janneke, and Jieun

When we were ready, we went to "lol manor," which is a house a few of our friends live in and hung there for a bit. Then we went partying! It was a lot of fun. I didn't get drunk (took a while to find a good party) but it was fun anyway. Then we went back to lol manor and watched movies and stuff and I pretty much fell asleep on my friend Daniel! A bunch of people left (Will, Kristin, Doug, Janneke, some others) and only me and Jieun were left who didn’t live there.... well mostly!

After a long night and a nice sleep in, Daniel, Nick, Jieun and I went to Waffle House for brunch. I happened to be still in my costume (Nick had changed, Daniel just looked like he wears strange clothes he he, and Jieun's outift looked fine without ears and make-up) and the looks I recieved will be forever imprinted on my mind. It was a very interesting morning!

After that the rest of my day was very chill. Big weekends call for big chill out sessions. America impressed me like I expected and I am happy to say it was one of the best halloween's I've had ^_^
