Wow!! Well this has been a fun week! Let's start with Halloween. Here, Halloween isn't as big but it's gaining popularity. Haroun and I carved a pumpkin, watched some classic Disney Halloween movies, and made pumpkin pie!!! This is the first time I have ever made pumpkin pie, by myself, from a real pumpkin! It was pretty good though, if I do say so myself (it was a rehearsal for the pumpkin pie I'm making for my Thanksgiving party). I have to say, I did miss seeing my little sisters' amazing costumes!! Sophia was a crayon and Cora was a unicorn, they are sooo cute :) xxx Then for Guy Fawkes we had some amazing fireworks in Heather's back garden, they're legal here!!!!!!!!!!! Afterwards, I went round to one of my friend's houses and we sat on his roof, watched fireworks and played guitar/ukulele, quite fun I must say. Last night, I went to a costume party which was really, really fun!! I went as a leopard and I met lot's of Cherwellians (people that go to a different secondary school called Cherwell). It was quite fun and I enjoyed meeting new people a lot!! Today, I had a bit of a lie and and then celebrated Bea's (Heather and Haroun's dog) birthday!! I just got back from youth group at an adorable church which may well convert me to the Church of England. It's Holy Trinity church in Headington Quarry and it's where CS Lewis went to church and was buried! I've met some really sweet people at church there and I'm looking forward to the nativity play which I will tell you about some other time. Speaking of plays... my play is on Tuesday! We are performing an excerpt from Under Milkwood in the style of Brecht. Hopefully I will get someone to video tape it for me and can put it up online somewhere :) That's all for now!
