Halloween and new minifridge!!

November 02, 2005

Happy Halloween! Monday was Halloween and it was definitely weird not to be at home for a holiday! This isn't as big of a holiday as Thanksgiving or Christmas, but my family still had rituals like giving out candy, or going trick or treating and so not doing that here is kinda weird. It didn't feel as much as Halloween as if I was home, but at least I'm not eating as much candy!! The dorms are all decorated too and they had a lot of fun activities this weekend to celebrate so that was cool. They even had scary stories and had little kids from the neighborhood come to the dorms and trick or treat!

And also this week I got a minifridge!!! I was soooooo excited! My roommates and I didn't order one in the beginning of the year because we weren't sure we wanted to spend $200 for it if we weren't going to need it, and it has been okay using the communal fridge on our floor but now since I have it in my room right next to my desk it is soooo much more convenient! And it's always fun getting a new addition to the room to spice things up! haha you never thought getting a fridge would be so exciting did you? It was really cool though because some other girls in our dorm were selling the fridge because they got a bigger one, but I don't need a big one, and this one is the perfect size for me! And it was really cheap too so I was so excited to get it! And of course I added a couple pictures of it so you can see how perfectly it fits between the wall and the desk, and how we had to put our huge lamp on top of the fridge to fit it!! But it works really well!

This week was another crazy busy week; today I had two quizzes and a test! But I think I did really well on all of them so that is a weight off my shoulders, and it was also the last Spanish test I have until the final so that is exciting! I can't believe how fast school is going by! I only have a couple more weeks of school before Thanksgiving break and then after that there are only a couple more weeks until the first semester is already over! And I am signing up for my next semester's classes on Friday night so wish me luck in getting what I want!! And on Friday I have another big biology test so that adds to this week's craziness, but after this week I only have one more test until Thanksgiving break so that will be nice.
Oh and this weekend I lost my cell phone which is the worst thing that can happen while you are away at college! My cell phone is the only way I communicate with everyone I know, especially my family back home, and I was freaking out because I didn't know what to do! So my friends helped me find the nearest Sprint store and luckily I had insurance on my old phone and got a new one for only $50, and it was sent to me in like 2 days which is really fast! So now I have a new phone, and it is almost the same as my old one, a little different, so that kinda sucks cause I just want my old phone back, but at least I got a new one! Now I have to build my phone book up again!
And I also got a wonderful care package this week with some new clothes from my mom!! I was so excited! So I attached some pictures of those as well for everyone to see! So enjoy! I must go now and study for biology! xoxo -Hannah :)

This is my new green sweater! Isn't it adorable? It will keep me warm on those cold windy New England days!

And this is a gorgeous very soft brown shirt also from my mom!

The new minifridge!! Squeezed in tight :)

Another closer view of the fridge! It even has a mini mini freezer inside that I can make ice cubes with!!
