well hello! it has been some time... shame on me. lots has happened in this past little week! first off, i went to the formal homecoming dance, and it was so much fun! they had a live band again like they did in april and i LOVE that. all of the little jolly men playing jazz and swing and stuff. it's great. =) they also had a horse drawn carriage! it was so cool. there were cute little white lights on it and everything. such a happy little place. the only sad part of the night was when i was walking in and my spaghetti and meatballs gracefully exploded all over the fleur de lis sidewalk. shhh. don't tell.
let's see... what else? i finished multiple tests and projects. such a relief... that also means that this week will be dandy and pretty low key. and i am ALL about that. =)
the weather this past week? are we kidding now? it snowed a few times, and when it wasn't snowing, the wind was so bitterly and rudely cold that i couldn't even function. sometimes i wonder about this place. actually, lots of the time i wonder about this place.
it was halloween (as i am sure you know), and at BYU, halloween is no small deal. it is a huge personal victory for people to have the "coolest" costumes on campus. last year i saw huge pac men/ghost deals running around. that was really funny... and this year. oh my. the mother of all great costumes... SHARKS! two great white sharks (complete with jaws and everything) were circling these poor girls! they even attacked her! it was the highlight of the semester. and i was definitely a fan. i secretly wish they had attacked me... and i would have asked for a picture with them. sad day. haha
so anyways, that night i dressed as "halloween spirit" (basically anything black and orange), and adam and i went to the combined wards halloween dance party! check out adams ninja costume! i, being the resident expert ninja, tied his lovely mask from a black shirt. be proud.
on actual halloween day i decided to give up on halloween and move on to christmas. hey, if target can, so can i. i ran about 1 million errands all around provo and orem. i decided that i needed a christmas fish. aptly named mariah, for mariah carey (who sang the best song/christmas song EVER--- all i want for christmas is you). anyways, mariah gets her own little tank now... filled with precious little red and green stones. isn't she just so festive?
i also bought david archuletta's christmas CD with my target gift card. great fun, highly recommend it. ALSO, get diet pomegranite 7-up. it is a must. and it has natural anti-oxidants, so it is basically healthy for you.
so halloween night rolled around and adam and i decided to stay in and pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters. we made dinner in a pumpkin. =) yay! and passed out/ate all of the halloween candy while watching ghost hunters live. truly terrifying. adam said it was fake, but i felt differently. evidence? i slept with my light on and had nightmares about ghosts talking to me about their insane assylum experiences. i should've just stuck with charlie brown and the great pumpkin adventure. bad choices, jessica.
so i think that pretty much sums it up. i will try and be quicker about my posting this week.
love you all! happy november!!! =D
