been too busy to blog promptly so just some quick updates here -

wed was halloween and my RA put together a 5-min gypsy costume for me. she's amazing - i wore my red blanket as a long skirt, with a black top and huge earrings and necklace. no pics though - can batteries ran out. i went with my dorm mates to te mausoleum party which was right in front of Leland Stanford Junior's tomb. the atmosphere wasn't exactly electrifying and people were dancing without much enthusiasm. the only great thing was all the costumes on display. so after trying my best to imitate dancing for a while, we left.

fri was frosh formal! i went on a shopping spree in the afternoon with my dormmate and roommate and got me some makeup. also leggings and black pants. that was the first time i applied my own makeup! i skipped the liquid eyeliner though - one shouldn't mess with those till one obtains a certain level of proficiency. the dance was surprisingly fun. i stuck to my dormmates mostly, and half of us couldn't dance, so we indulged in some uncool dancing together, which was actually kinda cool. i had more fun than i imagined i would.

(yar if you're reading this assure mum that there was ZERO alcohol at abovementioned parties)

so now monday is here, i've an exam later, an article to write for the Daily, and a dress rehearsal to attend (as backstage crew). back to the mad rush!
