Why hello. One last post for the month before we roll over into November. Let's just start this post off with an apology like I have been for the past few weeks. It got busy because every single one of my teachers decided everything would be due around the same time. But I'm past that now. Time for the super ultra spooktacular Halloween special post.

First off, this campus is creepy. Like, all sorts of creepy. From the weird people who wander this campus (need I remind you of the magical man who appears out of the blue on his majestic motorcycle?) to the weird places in the buildings (I have yet to find a basement that isn't suspicious looking) this campus is quite possibly the best place to be for Halloween.

To stat off with the basements, let's look at the math testing center. It's located underneath the physical sciences building because math is totally a physical science. I have to take a test there about once every three weeks. This is the nightmare a descend into every time:

Seriously. That is the sketchiest looking place I have visited so far. The actual testing center isn't much better. There are exposed pipes and electrical boxes and what not that make terrifying noises, flickering lights that would give even the sturdiest of brains epilepsy, and dead end hallways that lead to no where. I half expect to see a masked murderer every time I go to take a test. Ugh. But I didn't have to go today, so that was most excellent.

Next, I didn't dress up today. I figured, you know, being college, people restrain themselves a little better than they do in high school. Nope. I saw so many costumes today, it was great. I saw three Doctors, and one of them was wearing a fez. Needless to say, my day was made. There were quite a few clever ones, and a lot of really well made ones. I was impressed. Next year, I am definitely going all out.

Then, once I got back to my dorm, I decided this darn pumpkin sitting on my dresser was going to get carved today. I set out to clean it, think I may or may not have clogged our drain oh so slightly, and made a terrible mess of everything. It was delightful. And now my room smells like pumpkin. But here is what I managed to carve before starting homework:

Slendermannnnn!!!!!! The creepiest character from a video game ever. Ramesh and I are quite proud of ourselves. The seeds will be roasted/devoured tomorrow, and everything will be right in the world.

Speaking of tomorrow, November is here! Which means NaNo WriMo! Which means another book and a long month of delicious victory. I'm super excited. So, wish me luck, this side of the mad dash to completion. If I'm not writing, I'm doing homework so there is very little free time to be had for this, but I'll keep it up as best as I can.

 And to top off the end of the night, I ran around my floor in costume and handing out candy. I got so many confused looks. Many people started to apologize for not having any candy to give me before I could explain I was giving them candy. My community assistnt was impressed, so I'm super excited for when they interview for the community assistant positions. My plan is going along excellently.

Come forth, brisk Novemeber air. You cannot deter me from my quest. I will have another book with me name across the cover, and there is nothing you can do about it.

See you on the other side!
