Halloween & the Red Sox

We had a pretty busy weekend here at Wheaton!
Friday night was the Halloween dance party in Balfour. Most everybody dressed in some sort of costume, many vying for the prize of best costume! I dressed up as a lumberjack (the best idea I’ve had in years) and some of my friends dressed up as the cat in the hat, a queen, a proctologist, Enrique Iglesias, a nun, a nudist on strike, and Pippy Longstockings. It was an eventful night that finally culminated in Balfour.
The next day, my friends and I drove to Wellesley to watch my friend and suitemate Maya play her last official tennis match of her college career! Some of my friends who graduated last year and who also played for the tennis team came up for a reunion. It was the first time I had seen them since going abroad, and they spent the night in our suite.
Sunday was, of course, the world series! Unfortunately I had a 10 page paper due the next day, so I spent all but the last 2 innings writing my paper. When the Red Sox finally won, I think my friends and I had another “full circle moment” remembering our freshman year when the Sox won for the first time. A bunch of students gathered around Peacock Pond shouting, making noise and trying to get our friends to jump in! Having already been in the pond, I was able to get at least 3 of my friends to jump in! It is one of many traditions for every student at Wheaton to go in the pond at least once in their 4 years, and I can’t think of a better time to make the jump!
