I can’t believe it is already Thanksgiving break- which means we only have about three to four weeks of school left! Ahh!! These past couple weeks have been really busy- last week I had to plan my last semester at Augsburg, I will be taking my history seminar class, honors seminar for my International Relations major, history U.S foreign policy, and a history internship at the MN historical society- so many classes to choose from but I am excited for next semester. Also this past week I was in Georgia for the School of the Americas Protest. I helped organize a group of 17 students from Augsburg to go down there. We took 2 vans and camped out at the Roosevelt State Park when we got there. It was a really fun weekend! It took us 30 hours to get there! When it was only supposed to take us 19 hours, but its cool cause it was a really bus ride. We passed though Tennessee and Kentucky on the way there. On the way back it took us about 26 hours, and we passed through St. Louis and Kansas City. It was a fun ride, stopping at 4 in the morning getting coffee to keep us awake for the rest of the ride. Once in Georgia I also got to see some friends I studied abroad with last semester which was AMAZING!! It was so nice to see them after a couple months being back in the U.S!

This past week was full of many fun events. On monday ASAC, a student activities council here at Augsburg put on a holloween event out in Murphy's park. It was cool, they decorated the trees and had a ton of delicious treats. They also had a glow in the dark volleyball tournament, so my roomates and I put together a team. There ended up being 8 teams, and it was actually really fun. We also won the tourney! So we all got gift cards- which every college student loves!
My birthday was on tuesday, so in celebration of my birthaday we made a huge pile of leaves out by the library and jumped in them. The trees by the leaves are so beautiful during the fall. The walk from the quad to the library is breathtaking, the reds and yellows. My watercolor class painted that area last week as well, which is perfect timing because this week most of the leaves are gone!
For Halloween one of my friends and I got dressed up like superheros and hung out with some friends and watched Hocus Pocus! Our costumes were cool, when we stood in the wind our capes blew behind us- really giving the true superhero effect.
By Thursday I was so tired I ended up crashing after my night class! All in all, a great week!
