Halloween is a big thing in the States. When I stupidly revealed the fact I have never been trick or treating, my friends decided that we would go. Me and fancy dress are not that well acquainted (aliens and pirates aside) so the whole prospect of dressing up was very daunting to me. In fact I didn't know what I was going as until the last minute.
Who did I go as, I hear you ask? Well, I dressed up as a typical all American cowgirl ( maybe I will upload the photos onto my MSN space). Amber dressed as Hermione Granger but Theresa decided she was too old and that she would be our chaperone. Anyway, we found a suitably residential area and off we went. My attempts at an American accent never got any better but then again, Amber's British accent made no improvements either. We got loads of sweets - enough to last a month if not longer seeing as I'm not a big sweet eater.
I had an appointment with my adviser yesterday. She dressed up as Minnie Mouse. It was very amusing and slightly surreal to be advised by Minnie Mouse. Not that it was particularly helpful seeing as I still have no idea what to do my dissertation on...
Went to Sedona on saturday on another trip with the NAU international office. It was actually really nice. The whole thing was a lot more relaxed because there was only twenty of us going so the lady running it was a lot more relaxed about everything. Sedona is really really nice. My photos of the place look almost like postcards. Of course, I did buy a few postcards for the obscure relatives I barely speak to just in case they are concerned about me. It feels weird that it is still sunny and warmish in late october, early november.
