We had a big presentation in Dr. Aimee’s class, so I spent most of the day preparing for that. In the end, the presentation went well so now until the end of the voyage, I only have a few big projects, which is really nice.
But on a happier note – today is HALLOWEEN!!!
All the dependent kids came by the cabin and were trick-or-treating. I signed up to participate and bought some candy in India. Unfortunately, a lot of it melted, but I still gave them some candy and stickers. There were 12 kids total. I dressed up as a FGIT. I wore a long blue skirt and I borrowed a purple shirt and belt from Mackenzie. I made a wand out of cardboard and construction paper. I even broke out my pixie dust. When the little twins came I gave them some pixie dust. Dr. Aimee even wanted to make a wish and got pixie dusted. Mackenzie got it all on video and it was great. After trick or treating we grabbed some dinner I went to an explorer seminar and then at 2100 it was time for Halloween Dance!
People got soooo creative with their costumes. My favorite was that someone was a SAS student on a rickshaw and the duo was even complete with a hawker following them. Terrence and Bobbi-Lee were Beetlejuice and his girlfriend. They looked great. The Ambiguously Gay Duo was there, someone was the picture from the room complete with crazy stories on the back, the girl from the grudge who even did the creepy crawl across the floor and a ton of people were zombies.
Becky, Katie, Kristin, and Mackenzie were the SAS dance crew. I found a silky bright green shirt in Mackenzie’s closet and I went as Tinkerbell, even though I didn’t have time to make wings. The dance was packed!
Maria was the emcee, and cleared the dance floor. She acted like we were going to have a fashion show of people and their costumes for the costume contest, but then zombie’s took over.  They crawled over the floor and then jumped up and did the Thriller Dance, with Paulo as MJ. It was the hip-hop class that Paulo had been teaching on the voyage. It was fantastic. Bryan, Olivia and Rochelle were all in it and did great! They had a costume contest, but I don’t know who won. The dance ended about 1130 and then we all had to leave the union. We were all pretty tired so we just went to bed.
