Update without a title

So, friends and neighbors (or else just me, if nobody else reads this blog), here are a few random and probably irrelevant anecdotes and pieces of information.

First of all, next Monday is Halloween, and according to the Trinity Choir social committee (I didn't even know we had one of those), everyone in choir is required to come to choir in a costume that night, or else be counted absent.

Now, I have never dressed up for Halloween. I've never gone to a party on Halloween. I've never trick-or-treated on Halloween. The most exciting thing I've ever done on Halloween is give out candy to trick-or-treaters by pushing a rolling chair with candy on it to the door while my brother opened the door with string. I have no idea HOW to dress up for Halloween. And everyone who knows this fact is appalled. So Amanda will be helping me out with this....and right now it looks like my options are either a) a gypsy or b) a princess. I absolutely refuse to dress as a princess. I even more absolutely refuse to wear the tiara Manda keeps pushing for. I'm not a tomboy, and I'm about as feminine as girls come, but I'm not a typical "girly-girl." I don't like pink on principle, I don't refuse to show my face if I'm not wearing a crap-load of makeup on it, I don't go for glitter, and I will not wear a sparkly crown on my head, no matter how small it is. So this week and weekend should be interesting, trying to dig up some kind of something I can wear that is both creative and unobtrusive.

Also, I love my InterVarsity Small Group. We have Bible study every Tuesday evening, so I just got back from it a little while ago. John and Taylor are fantastic and such fun leaders, and all my fellow first-years are awesome people as well. It's very...comforting...to know that even when I can't talk about what's in my head or weighing on my heart, there are people who are willing to listen and support, people who love Jesus like I do.

I am destroying Amanda at Words With Friends. Also, I'm 2/5 of the way through the third Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Pretty intense so far.

I cut class for the first time, yesterday. I'd stayed up until 5:30 a.m. writing a paper due at noon the next day (or same day, depending on how you look at it), and I definitely slept through my 8:30 class. Mostly intentionally, actually. I half-woke up a little while before 8, thought to myself that my computer class didn't have any homework due or anything, and I would die if I got up, so I just turned my alarm off. I made my 10:30 class, and the brief 10 minutes I got to sing during Chamber Singers rehearsal (I'm part of a group singing in San Jacinto on Veteran's Day, so we rehearsed patriotic songs during the Chambers rehearsal...I must say it's a little awkward coming into Chamber Singers when I'm not actually part of them...), and my 12:30 class, but I took a nap until 3:30 (I almost missed studio performance), then didn't get to sleep again until 1 a.m. or so that night. Needless to say, I'm still very drained. I napped for about 2 1/2 hours today, but I awoke almost more tired than when I'd gone to sleep. As soon as this blog post is published, I am hitting the sack.

Hmm. Let's make that be now. G'night.
