Chow Mein Oreos
I think I mentioned this in one of my last entries... I might be able to graduate on time! If I'm able to get in-state tution for the summer semester on, I should be able to graduate in May 2007 like I wanted to originally. However, I have a feeling the tuition board is going to be an ass and look at the date my Colorado license was issued and go: "Well that's AFTER classes started for the summer." Despite the fact that I moved here to live BEFORE classes started. People tend to be asses when they're losing your money.
However, should I be able to swing in-state tuition this summer, I will be graduating pretty quickly afterwards. When I figured out that I might be able to graduate on time, I semi-panicked because I realized that's only a year and a half from now. I have A LOT to do in between now and then. Actually, since I thought I might be graduating late, I thought I wasn't going to have to do my practicum hours next semester. Turns out that Dr. Fenell wants me doing them anyway, and so now I have to rush to find a practicum site which made me panic even more. Luckily though, I got into gear and now I'm slated to have an interview on Friday for a practicum position at this place called The Mercy House. They counsel individuals, couples, families, etc. so it's right up my ally.
Anyway... Halloween was a blast. Well... The Halloween parties were fun. I held true to my nickname, though not intentionally. I bought this big red cape and vampire makeup. The vampire makeup came with these very realistic looking teeth that you could mold to fit in your mouth through the use of putty. As a result, I ended up scaring a couple of the children at the parties that I went to. When I got to Susan's party, Susan's 3 year old son Jonathan walked into the living room and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw me. The expression on his face was actually kind of funny. It wasn't really horror, it was more like a wide-eyed, WTF kind of expression. Don't worry though... I didn't let him think I was a vampire and traumatize him for life. I took out my fangs and then he realized it was just me and laughed.
Kim cracked me up too because at her party, all of the dishes she had created looked like something... You know, like spiders or eyeballs or whatever... The trouble was, she was really just making them to look like those things, not really for the taste, so she ended up putting some really bizarre things together. Amanda and I started to inspect the Oreo spiders and we realized that she had used chow mein noodles for the legs. She used ketchup as blood on the jello brains. So, if you wanted to eat any of the decorative looking stuff, you'd have to guess what was in it first to be sure you really REALLY wanted to eat it. It was quite entertaining.
