happy early hallowizzeen:) school has been good. My midterms lasted a week and a half! bah! but i'm done with them now, got better grades on all of them than I expected :D I'm very proud of myself! Things have been going preeettyy well since then. Weird stuff going on at home, but i'm trying to not let that shit get to me because i'm at school and honestly that's all I have the energy to do, is just be at school.
If you're blind.. I'm not exactly sure why you're reading this... if you are able to see and have been admiring that freakin' HAWT zombie to the left, (oh yea bby, that's moi.) then you're one of the lucky ones! :) Last night was one of my FAVORITE traditions at Cottey, called GP or Great Pumpkin, it's our halloween tradition, where all the seniors get together and as suites, put on a haunted house somewhere on campus for all the freshladies. It's a big secret for the freshmen, they don't know what's going on until the day of, and they don't even know about the haunted house, they just hear the charlie brown 'Great Pumpkin' story and then are sent off to our haunted house! We have to keep it a big secret as well, sneaking around, taking random items to the basement of a hall, having weird hair, (like my mullet?) and secretly googling how to be a zombie... "just because we're curious."
So our room in the haunted house was the FIRST one the freshies saw, so we really got to get their blood pumping a little bit. We had the haunted maternity ward with bloody handprints all over the walls, girls screaming in pain as they're having my zombie babies, (yeah, I was a hill people white trash zombie baby daddy. what's up.) lots of blood, zombie makeup, screaming, dragging body parts, and in one case, dragging a baby by her umbilical cord, and Allison's perfect rendition of a jacked up birthing scene. It was amazing and we got lots of good screams, although Natalie, and Myself have sore throats and sound a little froggy:) it was absolutely worth it even though the process was bullshit. I learned a lot about the way things are run around here and it irritated me to no end. It was terribly frustrating and obnoxious. Some people were more than ridiculous, didn't discuss anything, and went off and did their own things, people couldn't make up their mind and made other people change plans. It wasn't the end of the world, just a learning experience on what makes a good leader and how different people have different priorities.
that's all for now, yo.
love love love,
Ashley.
