happy halloween-er

for your convenience i have made two parts of this post. if you have time read number one. if not. skip to number two.

1. the first picture you have to turn you head to the left for. its just a quick sketch i did for a project craig is working on. its supposed to be the front of an island plantation. i hardly ever work in ink but i think it came out okay. the other two are water colors that i did while in Hatteras. Im not sure how i feel about the middle one. i might have to work on it some more.

so today when i was walking in the PG dorms, i saw the boys had a creative message up on somebody's white board.

"official weather report

hallway: 99 degrees

our room: 4 degrees

outside: -200 degrees

have a nice day."

as far as i know, this is pretty much accurate. today it is raining and cold. and not even windy. the PG boys have also edited their other bulitan board, which used to read "Happy Halloween!" but now reads "Happy Halloween-er!" are they creative or what?! honors college.

not surprisingly these are the same boys who are always playing nerf gun battles in the hallway.

I asked a few of them if i could borrow nerf guns to be lara croft for halloween and they said they would have to think about it. they are rather over protective of them apparently.

in other news, i went to yoga yesterday, it was lovely. But im skipping it today because its raining and gross and i have real work i could be doing.

yesterday i signed up for TWO different karma clubs. they are karma clubs because they are good for my karma. One is Big brothers Big sisters. i haven't filed my application yet, but ill go work on it after this. pretty much you get a kid to drag around on the weekends, take sailing, and to library time, and go to baseball games and picnics. this sounds great by me! although i wish i had a car. i will just have to learn the public transportation systems around here. FO SHO. i actually applied for a job with them as an art programs co-ordinator, so we shall see how that turns out. im going to do a follow-up call sometime tomorrow. it would be nice to get a job and save for that jeep wrangler i've been wanting for like four years. also then i could get tickets to go see brian reagan when he performs in ny in december. me and craig really want to go. dad probably would really like to go also. the other club i signed up for was the children and art club. where all these kids get bussed to our college and i help like 8 other college kids teach some art classes. its all volunteer, but i love kids and art so...WHOOT. should be my kinda thing.

i have to paint alot this weekend for the theatre. Leon, my advisor is on a trip out of town, so i stopped by yesterday to get an idea of what has to be finished by monday.

we are currently stripping this one desk and its drawers and re-staining them a different color.

Leon: so have you stripped before?

Casey: only on the weekends.

Laura: haha... oh wait... i get it.

movies on my list to watch:

I am Sam

GUESS WHAT this weekend is? you probably guessed it. the much anticipated CLAM SHUCKING FESTIVAL. i am pretty pumped. some friends of mine are playing in a jazz band there, and its supposed to be nice, lots of seafood and such. ALSO there is a campus wide capture the flag tournament tomorrow night. there is going to be a fire, and hot chocolate, and glow sticks! ive come to the conclusion, that college and kindergarden are very similar.

craig is having a high school kid shadow him and stay over for the night, so he wants to be all cool and go party. but i told him "look... st marys isnt a party school, the kid's going to realize that in about two seconds, we might as well just go do something fun... like pumpkin picking" craig did not think pumpkin picking was a cool-enough idea. "look laur what would you do if you had someone from high school come stay overnight with you?"

laura: go to the clam festival?

this is not the right answer in case you were wondering.

i got a letter from erika crowell at villanova. i miss that girl.

2. (short version) pictures, jeeps, rain, clams, stripping, yoga, craig, kindergarden, letters.

live in peace and prosper
