September-October

All I really have to say is whoops.

It’s been two and a half months since I started college, and it’s been a whirlwind! Highlights include a trip to the pumpkin patch, making it look like I killed someone in the sink dying my hair, having awesome Halloween costumes, getting late night curly fries, exploring Newberg, giant spider slaying, and walking around the island that will never be removed.

Fire safety day was fun.

A mysterious pair of legs in the hallway... Still not sure what was going on there.

Yes, the island is still here.

They had pumpkin canons! At one point they yelled "Aim for the geese!"

It's never too early for Christmas, right?

And, I suppose, a lot of essays and homework. Actually, that’s most of what we’ve been doing. I don’t understand how those people lucky enough to find a job keep up with it. November is an exciting month, however! I decided to stress myself out some more and take on the NaNoWriMo writing challenge — 50,000 words in a month, which works out to 3-4 pages a day. So far so good, but 30 days is a long time. So while I’m frantically writing between homework sections, Chloe will be frantically doing homework between rehearsals (working as a lighting tech, yay!). Did I mention we have two prospective students staying the night tomorrow? Life is crazy. College is cool though. It’s also very random. We walked to the store last night and passed a few guys shaving their friend’s head. Outside. On a bar stool. At night. Just, whatever. It’s a lot of fun.
