woooooooh eeeeee

halloween was fun. we carved pumpkins (the day after, actually, because they only cost 1$!). i carved a jack-o-lantern looking face, you know, with the triangle eyes and nose and teeth missing from the smiling mouth... then carved dreads all around it... heh. emma dressed up as a giant lego and it was such an amazing work of fine craftsmanship. she made it from styrofoam and the body from cardboard. she had to put eyeholes so she could see (and could only see directly in front of her) and a hole for a straw through which she had to drink her beer. i was a german tourist. fairly last minute decision. story of my life...

nice segue

because not so much the story of my life anymore. so the course catalogues came out for next semster and i've been trying to do all the figuring out from so far away and it consumed my life for a few days. it concluded with an advising session over the phone that was over half an hour long. and i now have like, an established life plan for the next six years!! my major is es with the policy concentration, and i've now decided to add the sustainable agriculture concentration, too. this summer, i'll have a siq internship somewhere (if not peta then somewhere else--i was searching for like three hours today), then come back for my final year at gmc. then after graduation, i'm going to join the peace corps, something with which i can help implement sustainable food systems in communities or something like that. then i'll come back, and, because of my experience in the peace corps and academic ass-kicking, i'll be able to get into law school, particularly vermont law school, one of the top two environmental law schools in the country. IT FEELS SO GOOD to have like... goals! i so excited for my future!!! except that i'm not going to be able to hang out with my good friend maryjane for like two years while i'm in the peace corps... i'll have to try to figure out a way around that....

and how about Obama?!

November 3rd, there was a McCain rally. They started letting people into the gates they had set up in the courthouse square in the heart of prescott at 9. there were people EVERYWHERE. Hank Williams Jr. (country singer) played for a while. it was the last stop of the campaigning, and mccain was coming at midnight. (he wasn't there until 12:30) we had a group of PC students supporting obama. quite the experience.

big things are going to be happening....

my flight home is on saturday, december 13th, and i'm coming into manchester. exciting!!!!!

stay kind, folks.
