on to november!

so here's the noteworthy things that have happened so far:

***

we registered for next semester. and it was so. stressful. classes that we needed were filling up really fast, and since we're freshmen we had to wait till the last couple days of registration. but we got overrides where we needed them and are now all enrolled as full-time students for the spring 2012 semester.

***

sam and i have been wanting to take up some sort of yoga or meditation or something, and one day fliers went up for a short course in meditation. so we went to the informational meeting, and the guy that was teaching it (one of the professors in the philosophy and religion department) is a little bit crazy. he's like a new-wave hippie or something. and the course cost two hundred and fifty dollars. $250! that's crazy. i can do that by myself for free. so we left.

***

since sam is our adopted fifth suitemate (he's over here so much since his roommate is really strange and creepy), he forgets some of his stuff here sometimes. i told him i was gonna give him a drawer, but then i realized i couldn't afford to clean out any of my drawers. then i had a brilliant idea. we have so much cardboard laying around, so i made him a box. there's a picture on facebook of him in it. since then, i've glittered it so it's really pretty. and it's pretty useful.

***

since we've all been really stressed out, we've been passing around a cold. kate had it two weeks ago, and she gave it to me, and the first day i started feeling better, sam and danielle started feeling sick. but luckily we're all going home.

***

speaking of which, i have never been so excited for thanksgiving. and i'm coming home this afternoon! see y'all soon!

so i had this really long and awesome update about october..

and then i accidently hit delete. so i'm gonna make this quick. er than i had originally planned.

***

halloweeen was fun. danielle was a mime, kate was ke$ha, brittany was nicki minaj, sam was the brawny man, alison was a lion, alli bearly was an 80's girl, and i made myself a pebbles costume. i even bought dog bones for my hair. on friday night, danielle, kate, sam, and i partied at the catholic newman center (not a religious event - not to worry). we dressed up and just hung out on satruday night, and on actual halloween we handed out candy to trick or treaters and watched young frankenstein and the original texas chainsaw massacre.

***

one of the campus organizations was showing hocus pocus that weekend, so there were posters all over for it, which were basically just little movie posters with the information for the showing on it. i wanted one. and so did sam. and so did brittany. and so did taylor down the hall. so after the newman party, sam, danielle, kate, and i went on a mission to find four hocus pocus posters (once an event is over, the ads are fair game). we were successful.

***

the ke$ha poster alison got us for our birthday is now hanging up in our bathroom, as kate bought a frame for it.

***

i rearranged my side a while back. i had mason and sam help me bring my bed down a notch so now i don't have to use my ladder. which i'm a huge fan of. :)

***

danielle and i bought healthy food at walmart. apples, baby bananas, and baby carrots. the bananas started to get brown, though, so i made (egg free) banana brownies.

***

there was a rock-opera version of phantom of the opera one night in october. it was so strange. there was a silent film in the background, and then there were people in the front singing and dancing. it was a bit distracting. sam, danielle, and kate told me not to base my opinion of phantom off of that experince (i've never seen it before).

***

that is all i have for now. i will update you about november shortly.
