Halloween antics!

Two nights of tremendous parties and costumes galore. College costumes are always better and more creative than any costumes around.. For instance, I saw someone dressed up as a wine box -- including a working spout. Amazing.

Well, halloween was fun, even though it hasn't really happened yet, but for some unlucky students studying must commence. Tomorrow we plan on getting a group together to go see Saw II, should be a good time :)

I totally touched a snake last night too! It was pretty crazy too, a foot long boa constrictor.. uck.. hehehe.

More photos.

Sample of the festivities:

halfway through...

School... sucks.. but everything else is goin great! I can't wait to get on the plane to Italy!! I might even start preparing a little bit more for what cultural/language differences might await me. I've been told that may be a smart idea... haha..

As for everything else, I think I'm kinda bummed that I'll have to miss a winter in Houghton. I hear this one is going to be a doozey based on the above average temp of Lake Superior. Sounds like many a days at Bohemia! :(

On the highest note of my semester, I'm in this journalism class.. and if our stories are good enough, they get posted in the Houghton newspaper -- The Daily Mining Gazette. So far, my article on the Keweenaw Brewing Company was published and turns out my article on new mountain biking courses will be in this saturday!! I'm two for two!

Well, that's all i've got for now.. sorry these updates are lame and less exciting :( I'll work on that..

So... it's about that time...

Well, since it's been almost a month since my last post, i've decided to grant you all the greatness of my ramblings. :) jk. This semester is turning out to be way busier than i had hoped for. But it's ok, the countdown to Italy has begun :)

Here's a shocker, it's October 3rd and I'm sitting in my chair in a pool of sweat. It's seriously way too hot outside to be healthy -- for an October.

I've been undergoing a lot of personal reflection recently, not so sure what i've come up with, but maybe some changes are what's in store. I can't wait to go back to b-town and visit all the old classmates.

In other news, I've been camping at least once a week for the past three weeks, I like it :) And today I saw a girl running and didn't even flinch, I can safely say I've lost all desire to exercise again, Mari help! Speaking of Mari, we've decided that the best thing for Jake is to make him a corporation with part owners. Currently there are six of us in on the gig, if you'd like to be part owner of Jacob please send a detailed resume to me and we'll schedule an interview ;)

That's all folks, sorry for the randomness!
