well, MY weekend was definitely jam-packed. starting off, friday i helped this committee that im on (board of programmers) set up for the dance that was on friday night. i didnt stay for that long to set up because, and i know that this sounds selfish, but if i helped set up THAT much, i wouldnt be surprised for what it looked like for that night! haha- so i left after about an hour of helping. then, some little kids came from some kind of daycare center to trick-or-treat around the dorm rooms. i escorted them around and let me tell you, after being with them for an HOUR, i am POSITIVE that i do NOT want to be a teacher of any kind. they were cute and all, in their little costumes and everything, but i was VERY stressed after being with them even for that short of a time. friday night, there was the dance that was tim burton themed (so very dark, think "the nightmare before christmas" and "corpse bride") and i didnt think that i was going to go, but last minute i did. i dressed up as a "hippie" i.e. i put on the funkiest clothes that i already owned and went down. people TOTALLY got that i was a hippie, which was the best part, and i was even wearing my normal clothes! on saturday, after a little bus fiasco (missing my bus, then getting on the wrong bus, then finally finding the right one), i volunteered at some kind of "fall festival" for little kids in the bloomington, indiana area. that was cute, i just set up different tents and stuff. that night, i saw "broken flowers," have you ever seen it? i liked it, but some of the people that i went with didnt. its kinda considered to be an "artsy" or "indie" film, so not everyone is going to like it, i suppose. sunday (today) some friends and i got up and drove about a half hour away to brown county, indiana. it was SOOO cute! we went to nashville, indiana, which is a little town in brown county, and i SWEAR TO GOD, it is the cutest little storybook town i have ever seen. i LITERALLY felt like i was going to see mother goose walking down the street. it was so great- the whole time i just felt so happy! of course, it was BUBBLING with tourists, i guess the town is very busy around fall (brown county is known around the nation for being absolutely beautiful in the fall), but i still liked it. i had a friend with me who is actually from that area, so he showed us all the good places to go. we had lunch/dinner at a FABULOUS italian restaurant and then walked around some more. it was just so cute! i know i keep saying it, but i just couldnt get over it! then, we drove around the paths in the woods. it made me realize how much i am sick of the same old buildings over and over again. i mean, i know that in grandview, it wasnt exactly overflowing with woods, but i still miss the outdoors a lot. overall the weekend was wonderful! tomorrow is the ACTUAL halloween, but i havent heard about any activities that are happening (which is weird), so i might have to make my OWN halloween celebration with some friends and some scary movies. we shall see....
happy halloween!! and happy birthday mom!! :) I LOVE YOU
