Happy 1st of November

Did you enjoy your Halloween? Well, I surely would have if I have known that yesterday, the 31st of October, was, in fact, Halloween. Yes, you heard me: I honestly had no idea yesterday was Halloween (up until I looked at the date on the toolbar of my laptop yesterday evening)!

I knew there had to be a reason I had been craving chocolates and other treats the entire day! I'd like to think that my body has become accustomed to the sharp intake of sugar around this time of the year and, perhaps, was trying to let me know that it was that time of year again.

I know, you're probably wondering how, with all the recent buzz about the popular festivity, did I completely miss out on it. The truth is, I have no clue. I typically don't participate in the "dress up and party like you don't have to wake up the next morning" thing (at least, on Halloween) so, naturally, I wouldn't share in the anticipation of those who look forward to doing just that. Perhaps it's the endless 'week-of' parties and events that made Halloween seem more like an entire week rather than one day that made me forget. Or maybe, it's the stresses of college finally taking it's toll on me.

Who knows! Hopefully, I have better luck with Christmas this year.
