2spooky Halloween post!

Happy Halloween!!!

So on Monday my dorm hosted a Dia de los Muertos program, where guest speakers came and taught us a bit about the traditions, and then we ate some delicious bread and painted pumpkins to look like the sugar skulls that are oh-so-famous on Day of the Dead.

That's mine! I think it's kind of cute.

Have I mentioned my costume for Halloween this year? I'm going to be Blaine Anderson from Glee! He's my favorite character. I'll post a picture tomorrow or something.

In other news, I signed up for classes for the spring semester! This is my schedule as of now:

So my ASM class (anthropology) became a hybrid class after I signed up for it. It was originally Monday-Wednesday-Friday, but now it looks like I won't have any classes Monday and Wednesday! Which is very nice if you ask me. I will probably work in the mornings on those days, so I can get some longer shifts in.

I'm really excited for my ENG 288 class. It's Intro to Workshop Fiction, which means lots of writing!!! Speaking of writing, because I'm crazy I have decided to try and do NaNoWriMo this year! NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. In the month of November, you try and write 50,000 words in 30 days! I have a couple of characters in mind that have been in my brain forever and I'm eager to at least try this out.

Last weekend was really awesome!! On Friday I went to my friend Sarah's house for her Halloween party and our friend Michal showed up from California as a surprise!!! We watched Silent Hill, which was traumatizing, and then later we watch Lilo & Stitch, which was lovely. On Saturday I spent the night at Derek's house and then Sunday we visited my family and then Derek and Sarah and Michal and Dominic and I all went out for dinner at Olive Garden and then hung out at Barnes & Noble and then Sarah's house to watch Kiara the Brave (the weirdest movie EVER ok).

That's what's been going on in my life lately!! Happy Halloween, and I'll write again soon!

Human Rights Campaign and spring semester!

Today, I joined the HRC, a group that fights for LGBT equality in areas like the workforce, schools, marriage rights, ect. I donated 35 dollars to their campaign and when I mentioned to the rep who signed me up that I was hoping to get more hours at my job, she said that their office is hiring! And it's only a few blocks away. I might see if I can work there like on Saturdays or something, because it's something I'm very passionate about.

Also, I set up my schedule for next semester, but I don't get to officially sign up for classes until tomorrow at 6 am. So I'm setting an alarm for 5:50 am and I will sign up for classes right at 6 and then go back to sleep. I'll post my official schedule tomorrow once I'm all signed up! :)

I love getting mail!

So a few days ago, I got a package from my great aunt. It was a beautiful blanket she'd made, in ASU colors!!!

It's so comfy and perfect for snuggling up at night.

Sooooo, dear readers, if you are my friend in ~real life~ or family, and you want to make me super-duper happy, SEND ME MAIL!!! If you have such a desire, ask me for my address.

That's all for now!
