Halloween!

---

I didn't go to any Halloween parties this year, because Halloween fell right before my massive biology paper and organic test. I was surprised to find that Halloween is just as big a deal over here as it is in the US - everyone kept putting on costumes and going to parties for a full week leading up to Halloween. However, there is one difference between the UK and the US: over here, people just make simple costumes using clothes they already own. At home, I get the idea that a lot of people rent really elaborate, expensive costumes. That could just be the Dubyuhnell effect, but St Andrews is a pretty wealthy school too!

Anyway, I did one thing to celebrate Halloween: I dressed up for my bible study! I went as a mad scientist, Hilary (another junior study-abroad, from Boston/Whitman) was "a starry night" (in the Christmas carol sense), and Lissa (a fresher from Maryland) was a Christmas tree. Akins, a second-year from Nigeria/England, didn't dress up but wanted to be in the picture. I thought this picture was hilarious and I hope you enjoy it too!
