pumpkins and leaves and orange orange orange

I think I stopped some time after the trip to virginia tech last time. We carved pumpkins and Mom and Amy brought me my car and Rachel and I worked on our costumes. We were fashion icons, as she was Jackie O and I was Audrey Hepburn. The boys were Scottish dudes, which was made funnier by the fact that there were real Scottish dudes there singing some song. Here you go...pictures...
The next week was really long and busy and pictureless. I finally got pictures from the Freshman who isn't a freshman from the time Julie and I frolicked in the empty reflection pond. Here's another picture! For the record, I am currently sitting here, crying over the movie Mona Lisa Smile. It should NOT make me cry. Fall break started with a Third Day concert, followed by Clemson losing to some team not worth remembering. After that was contra dancing with the hippies and men in skirts. Sunday we left for Helen, GA, where we visited the men in liederhosen (sp?) at Octoberfest, then we went on to our cabin at Vogel State Park. We hiked up Blood Mountain, the wrong way (cause we lost our trail). We basically went straight up the north face of the mountain. We froze while we ate lunch, then we hiked back down via the AT and a few other trails. We hung out after that and made s'mores and all that jazz. We hiked around the lake in the dark...such a brilliant idea. We packed up and left on Tuesday and came back to C-Town. I went to Greenville to vote and ended up staying overnight to come back the next morning. Oh, we also played in leaves on the trip. Awesome! The next three days made for an especially long week. Friday was high fiving. A group of us go out on the library bridge on Fridays from about 11 until 1:30 or so and we give high fives to everyone who comes past. I have about 80 pictures of high fiving, so I'll have to put just a few of them up here. That afternoon, Joe and I ran around on campus and took pictures of stuff and goofed off. Thus the picture of me playing in the grass. That night, I felt bad, but I went to the CCC pig picking and line dance. I learned the snowflake shuffle or whatever it's called, so I'm proud of that.
Saturday was the game. Mom, Dad, and Amy came to the game. It was a pretty good game. Very stressful, as there were a lot of close calls. We won. That's good. Julie and Rachel and I made cheesecake on Saturday night. Yum yum. This week is nice and quiet. I have a Thanksgiving dinner that some friends are having on Saturday, and I'm having lunch with a few people. Yesterday had lunch with Dad. Friday I'm going walking with Keeley. No exceptions. She can't get out of it with a crowbar and a saw. I gotta go. I'm working on homework right now and Rachel's coming to have tea with me in a half an hour.



And look! I got all of the pictures to line up in a nice row for me! Picture placement is so hard on this site. Don't know why. Not that it matters to most people, but since I like to tell my life in pictures, this is quite an accomplishment for me.
