October Overnight

It is amazing how quickly a week goes by, and how dirty my room gets in one. Just last week it was October. Now it's November. Christmas is coming. Independence celebrations are coming. Exams are coming. My birthday is coming! It is said that all good things must come to an end. Looking back on this month, and how quickly it went by, I am glad. Sure, the laughs, the smiles, the jokes, and the exams were all fun but if a good thing doesn't come to an end, how will a better one begin?

This was one crazy week. The Law Faculty celebrated Halloween this week, so everyday, the students dressed according to a theme. Monday was childhood day. I came to school and noticed all these girls with ribbons in their hair, short skirts and what's not. At first I thought it was just the few crazy people at UWI who had nothing better to do. Then I went to a class full of Law students and saw all of them were dressed like that. After the class, a couple of my friends were discussing the matter when out of the darkness appeared this yellow shirt and dark sunglasses. He stood about 5' 9" tall and walked with his head held high. The bib chocked him as he proudly displayed his love for cookies. But what was worse was the diaper he had on which, after a day's walk had turned into a baby T (string that is). Need I say more? Tuesday was sleep wear...need I say more? On Wednesday I was afforded the privilege of speaking with Captain Jack Sparrow...Yeah Savi!

My mid-terms are finally over! But that's pretty boring stuff compared to meeting the Captain. I mean, it was like a Disney Land show. There were even fairies! The fairy part was pretty disturbing though, since all of them were male...eww. On Saturday, yesterday, I had my final mid-term - Caribbean Civilization. The teacher, who is now referred to as Teletubby, Tinky Winky, Dispy, Lala or Po because well, he looks like a chocolate bear. One day I went to class hungry and  got this vision of biting off his head or poking him in his belly and all this caramel would ooze out. Of course, I cracked up in my chair and my friend told me I need help, but I was hungry so all I could see was food. Anyways, after a great start I got to the last essay with 7 minutes to go. As I am scrambling down the words, I thought, maybe I should have paid  more attention in class instead of looking at her and listening to all the stories of how bad a teacher she was at my friend's school. But I still managed to scramble down something...until...*queue dramatic music*...the unthinkable happened...*scream*...yes, my pen died. Usually, I go to exams with one pen, maybe two but somehow there were 4 on my table. So when my favourite pen died I was so thankful that I had the others. I still felt sorrow, that was my favourite pen.

That was pretty much my week. It's November already! October just whizzed by. Hopefully November will too until December 23, when time will stop like the month of September.
