Halloween and Other Shenanigans

// November 1st, 2009 // Academic, Personal

I swear, college is one of the greatest impediments to blogging. With so much going on and us students getting so little sleep, blogging is one of those first pasttimes to go.

The motto for this semester is “Work Hard, Play Harder”. I’m happy to report I’ve been getting consistent A’s on prelims (Cornell’s name for “midterms”, weird, I know). The weekends, which start on Thursdays really, consist of endless partying, with the frat scene and house parties dominating. Sunday is a day of recovery, and the cycle repeats again. The frat brothers range from your standard total Ivy League douchebag to the WASPy Polo-shirt-boat-shoe-wearing gentleman to the huge engineer geek. Everything and anything. Any person, any study I suppose. I’m not meeting as many people as I’d like, but I’m sure that will come with time (I want to know everyone in my small faculty, for example).

I had two costumes scraped together at the last minute for Halloween. Night 1: gold dress + shovel = … GOLD DIGGER! Night 2: pink dress with bow + pink headband with bow + pink clutch + flats with bow = … I have no idea what I was but the boys said I was Barbie so I went with that. The notable costumes included your standard supermen, slutty bunny/maid/I’m-just-going-to-well-lingerie, rappers, nerd, bumble bee, police officer, Keystone light (rofl) etc. I might post photos at Snark if I have time.

I’m looking forward to my next 3 or 4 weekends.

  • Nov 6 - 8: going to Harvard for HUWIB’s Inter-Collegiate Business Convention
  • Nov 13 - 15: going to Syracuse University for an all-expense paid charrette
  • Nov 20 - 22: going to Kingston, Canada for Royal Military College’s annual Christmas Ball
  • Nov 27-29: Thanksgiving, everyone in my suite will be gone. If I stay in Ithaca, my friend from UPenn might be coming to visit.

For Fall Break I went to visit friends in Toronto, had a blast, shopped a lot, it’s nice to be near civilization again!

P.S. - Anyone doing Nanoblomo? I don’t think I will be, but I will subscribe!

    LOL golddigger costume. That one never fails to amuse me, probably because I associate it with Kanye, and Kanye never fails to amuse me.
    Yay for shopping in Toronto! I haven’t gone downtown to shop in ages!

    College really does take so much time away from blogging. I feel like I never have the opportunity to read or write in the blogosphere. Sometimes I’m not even sure WHAT I’m doing; I just don’t have the time. (Although the answer is usually P-Chem… selling my soul to it!)

    Great job on your midterms. So happy that time is over now. Yay for A’s! I got A’s on all my midterms except the second P-Chem one… which kicked everyone’s butt very, very hard. Taking it was like getting hit by a truck. Actually, it was probably worse. But anywho!

    Sounds like you made the most of your Halloween weekend! Two costumes! Sure, they were pulled together at the last minute, but they sound pretty good nonetheless. My roommate was an “artist” but she left her paintbrush and palette at home when we went out, haha. I only went out on Saturday night with just one costume.

    Your next few weekends look like they’ll be very busy and fun. Lots of traveling. My weekends (well, Saturdays, at least) are jammed full of stuff prior to Thanksgiving too, but no traveling for me. So I will indeed be at SU the weekend you will be! How weird/cool is that!

    LOL at your gold digger costume! I like that a lot, it’s very clever!

    Yup, definitely on the NaBloPoMo bandwagon over here! :D

    Yes, blogging was definitely one of the first hobbies dropped when classes started for me as well, but it’ll be back again once winter break comes :)
    I like your motto, I think I’m going to steal it :P

    Haha, the gold digger costume’s clever! Huh. I actually haven’t heard of NaBloPoMo before, actually. Sounds like a brilliant fun time :)
