Now that the FHP Retreat is over, I am still busy, but this past week and weekend were much more relaxed and fun. After another Friday Night Dinner, a group of us attended the Honors ice skating event. I quickly realized I'm terrible, completely terrible, at ice skating, but can I blame it on my parents for not buying me roller blades as a kid? Oh, well. I supported an Honors event like a good UA should.
Saturday night I hosted a pretzel-making shin-dig. I made the dough, they made the pretzels, and then we ate them! It wouldn't be very much fun without that last part. Most of the people I invited are fellow BPMI students, and since we have an art project due Wednesday, we all pulled out our illustration boards and worked on them during the movie. It's good to multi-task.
I finally did it. I walked through my first corn maze with the Collegiate Presbyterian Church college group this afternoon. It was pretty intense, and just before we were forced to build fires and shelters out of corn stalks, we emerged from the labyrinth of despair and picked out pumpkins for carving.
Beautiful fall foliage- check; apple cider and warm pretzels with friends- check; Survival through scary corn maze- check; an attempt at pumpkin carving- check; sweet potatoes in my fridge- check. I'd say this is shaping up to be a pretty good fall.
In case you are interested, the link for ISU's LAS website with student profiles is below. I was interviewed because I am weird- Ok, or at least my major with the Spanish minor are kind of unusual.

Have a fantastic Halloween! I've decided to be Ms. Peacock from Clue.
