Halloween reminds me of when I was still a
child; so excited to get dressed up as the scariest thing I could and go door
to door in my neighbourhood getting free sweets. I remember leaving a birthday party
early once just so I could get home in time to trick-or-treat. Now however,
Halloween falls in the middle of exam time. Every year I decide to throw a Halloween
party, but every year time just isn’t in my favour. Right now, on Halloween I
am studying the Transition of power in
South Africa; not exactly the most exciting piece of history I must admit.
When I was browsing through facebook earlier on one of my procrastination breaks,
I saw a picture of a friends Halloween ‘costume’ and it cracked me up. The
picture was her sitting next to her white board that read “this will be you in
15 years –RUN” and she was surrounded with her study notes! Classic!
I contemplated buying the biggest pumpkin I
could find today and carving it and putting it on my balcony, just so I could
get into the spirit; but with this rain and studying to do I just didn’t get a
chance. Maybe I should be original and celebrate my own Halloween in a few
weeks time- and have a pumpkin carving competition!
There have been parties left right and
centre since last week to get into the “Halloween spirit”- great, but I haven’t
been able to go to anyone. As much as my exam timetable is amazing, and I probably
do (or did) have the time to do it; these are my last exams of my university career-
(no pressure hey?) so I decided that the majority of my social life will have
to be put on hold- 2 weeks and then I can celebrate!
Anyway my fellow people have a wonderful
Halloween wherever in the world you are.
