Halloween Weekend/Eric O'Shea Video

I feel like this year Halloween was a lot more exciting for me. The last few years I haven’t done much for Halloween, just because I felt too old to be dressing up. This year was a lot different because like everyone I hang out with was so excited to be dressing up. I wasn’t that excited at first, but then once I got everything for my costume I was really excited to wear it.

My costume was a hippie. I bought this purple skirt and wore a black shirt that had a bunch of peace stuff on it. My friend, Brittany, let me borrow her peace sign earrings and necklace. I also had two peace sign bracelets so I was all decked out in peace sign jewelry. My other friend, Stephanie, did my hair in braids. I loved my outfit so much and I think I pulled it off.

Another thing that was really exciting about this Halloween was that we had a door decorating contest in my dorm. My roommate was so excited about that because she loves decorating. First, we put a tablecloth around the door that had spooky looking eyes on it. Then, we decorated it with skeletons, pumpkins, ghosts, and some other stuff. We put a bucket of candy out so people could take some. We were going to put lights around the door, but the cord wasn’t long enough. Overall our door looked awesome. We probably spent over thirty dollars on all the decorations. Our RA informed us yesterday that we got third place in the contest. Our prize was a little bag of candy. Sadly, we had to take all of our decorations down today, but oh well there is always Christmas.

So last night I went to a Halloween party in Foxridge. It was a crazy party and their apartment was all decked out in decorations. They covered all of their walls with black trash bags and had flickering Halloween lights. One of the guys that lived there said they spent about a thousand dollars on everything, but of course they had bought a ton of alcohol too. Along with their decorations, they had two ice sculptures. You can probably guess the shapes they were made into. I had never seen them before and I thought it was quite hilarious. There were probably at least one hundred people at the party, but it was still really great.

It really sucks to have to go back to all this work after such a great weekend. I really hope this week flies by because I’m already ready for next weekend. I have an ACIS and Calculus exam this week and I need to do well on both of them. The one thing I am looking forward to this week is starting my new job at Owen’s Food Court. I had a training today and I have one tomorrow. Then hopefully on Friday I can start working because I definitely need the money. I think it’ll actually be a fun job because I will get to meet some new people. Brittany works there too so at least I will have someone that I know already. I think I’m going to really enjoy working there or at least I hope so.

Well I can’t really think of much else to write about so I will write about this video I watched the other day that I thought was really funny. My roommate and I were sitting in our room and she told me to come watch this video with her. It’s a comedian talking about how television commercials should have better songs to promote their products. He uses really good songs to go with the topics he’s talking about. One topic he uses is Viagra and then he uses the song, “You Raise Me Up.” That example was the funniest to me. There are other really good ones too like for the topic pregnancy tests, he uses the song “Wasn’t Me.” Whenever I feel down I go watch it because I think it’s a mood booster. Sometimes I will watch Katt Williams too because he is hilarious. If you’ve never heard him, you should go to youtube and watch him because you will laugh your butt off. Anyways, I don’t know what else to write about so this is where I’m ending this blog.
