The Halloween Party

Last night I finally had my Halloween party. It ended up being a lot of fun, despite getting off to a rough start. Everyone showed up late. I was getting phone call after phone call about people having problems with the bus, or the pumpkin, or worrying about the ice, etc. Everything worked out though.

We sat around, talked lots, carved pumpkins, etc. The pumpkin carving ended up being quite a bit of fun. I was the only one who had ever carved a pumpkin before. Swedish pumpkins are NOT very good quality. Some of them started to go bad even before we could carve them! And my pumpkin had started to get green sprouts inside it. ICK! It still looked nice for one night with a candle inside though.

The annoying thing about parties is how much of a mess they leave. Took me about 2 or 3 hours this morning, WITH Aile's and Oscar's help to get the apartment looking respectable enough to eat breakfast in. I'm still not done cleaning either. I need to put some more things away, scrub down the tables, vacuum, take recyclables to the store, and mop. I needed a break though.

I have a seminar tomorrow that I am not quite ready for yet. I still have quite a bit of reading to do and I need to write another half page on my seminar assignment. That's all due tomorrow at noon though, so I have awhile left. Helena brought me the book that has the one chapter in it that I don't have a photo copy of. So that means I don't need to go to the library tomorrow morning before class.

Oh, and we ended up in a discussion about Nintendo DS last night... discovered that I think two others in the group have Animal Crossing for their DS. Wow, my friends are all just as geeky as I am! Sometimes that is a cool observation!
