Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head

Well, friends. The most important news as of late is currently in progress. IT IS RAINING!! Yes, folks, that's right. It actually rains in Southern Cali. Woah! I kinda want to whip out my wonderful pink and burgundy umbrella from Gap and run around barefoot through the puddles.

Yesterday was Halloween!! :D Our dorm, Alpha Chi, rolled out the red carpet (actually colored squares of plastic tablecloth) for its annual sugary bash, Candyland, based on the board game. Each of the six floors decorates according a character from the game and the lobby is transformed into a center for all those tacky carnival games everyone "loves." Our floor was Gloppy, and we morphed that into Gloppyland, as in Disneyland. Each of the dorm rooms decorated their door like a ride from the park. Kendall's door was Pirates of the Caribbean. She won third place in the door decorating contest. Brenna's door was Indiana Jones. She made a sweet bridge out of sticks and yarn, and a 3-D boulder. Nu-nu and my door was Splash Mountain. Three little lollipops (which strangely resembled Brenna, Nu-Nu and I) were riding a log boat into a splash of molasses glop. So for three hours last night, we handed out candy to adorable little kids in costumes. They were really cute!

Also, yesterday was free burrito day at Chipotle!! Brenna, Kendall, Kelsey, and I accented our sweet Halloween costumes with tin foil and partook in deliciousness like no other, especially since it was free. Kendall was Arwen from LOTR, in a gorgeous green dress she designed and her mother made. Brenna was Snow White, and quite popular among the little girls who came to Candyland. Kelsey was...a skier. Aka, she didn't really dress up but was wearing an old skiing sweater and jeans. I was none other than the amazing....KIM POSSIBLE!! I used a black shirt and shoes I already had and bought some cargo pants from the little boys' section of Target. I also dyed my hair a lovely shade of red. Now that's commitment!

As the festivities wound down last night, Brenna, Kendall, and I headed out for our nightly walk around campus. We passed a couple of families talking and witnessed the most epic battle known to mankind. Indiana Jones vs. the Storm Trooper!! Little did those innocent children know that they each represented a George Lucas film series and were encompassed in the most awe-inspiring battle ever embarked upon. We didn't stay long enough to congratulate the winner, but I'm pretty sure Indiana Jones probably won.

Well, I believe that is about all for now. Brenna, Nu-Nu, and Kendall just headed for the beach...in the rain...shortly before dusk...weridos. I stayed to work on hw...which is scarier than all the ghouls on Halloween. Hmm...I'm feeling a Thriller rendition coming on....
