So this week has been big in the world of Natural Disasters. We've just heard that a huge Earthquake, the largest in 60 years, has hit the BC coast, provoking Tsunami warnings as far south as Hawaii as well as huge aftershocks. So far no deaths have been reported, BC looks to have avoided the worst of it.
Hurricane Sandy is heading towards the Maritimes with deadly force. It seems to have missed Florida but New York is under evacuation orders. The subway systems have been shut down as well as Schools and the New York Stock Exchange. According to the Radar, it looks to hit the great lakes by Friday. If you are in that area or have family or friends there, stay tuned to the news and hope for the best.

So this night was the Sorority's Halloween Party!! It was so much fun! All the Greeks were invited as well as a plus one if they wanted. I was part of the set-up crew so I was at Jade's (our president) at 6 p.m. to start decorating. We ordered Chinese from Coalhurst's Coyote Diner, which was great by itself. I must say, her house looked pretty fantastic for only $30 worth of decorations!
There was a ton of people there, all dancing and having fun! I brought my friend Alicia Szmaciarz as my plus one. We only stayed until Midnight but it was so much fun either way. I can't wait for next year!

So Wednesday night, my littles (Alex & Liesl) and I had a Harry Potter night! Since the three of us adore Harry Potter, I thought it would be a great idea to have a Harry Potter night with the two of them. And when I say Harry Potter night, I mean everything Harry Potter! I made homemade Harry Potter treats and everything!! Pumpkin Juice, Hagrid's Rock Cakes, Sugar Mice, and Pumpkin Pasties! Plus we watched Harry Potters 1,7&8! I ordered off of Amazon the Harry Potter Wizard's Collection (pictured below) as well as an Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook so I figured might as well get some use out of it!
Funny story though, I was cooking all day long to get ready for tonight and everything seemed to be going fine. When they got here I put in a couple of pizzas so we could have some actual food as well as all the sugar, and they wouldn't cook! They were in the oven for at least an hour and were still raw so I say to hell with them and ordered pizzas instead. Once the oven cooled, Alysha and I investigated and found the source of my problem. At some point during the day, I had blown the bottom element in the oven!!! So I killed our oven lol. We called our landlord and he had it fixed by Friday.
We were up until 3 a.m. watching movies (which was kind of unfortunate as I had an 8 a.m. class but I did make it to class! Be proud!). It was so much fun but I did get into a little bit of trouble with some of the other sisters and pledges as they want a Harry Potter night as well, so next semester I'm planning on having another one for the whole sorority.

So tonight was Delta Eta Iota Sorority's Annual Pumpkin Carving Potluck! One of my little sisters, Alex Funke, was very sick. The 24hr flu has been going around and she caught it bad, so unfortunately she couldn't make it. My other little, Liesl Geib, did come out though so her and I had fun. My roommate Andrea and I brought mashed potatoes for the potluck. There was all kinds of food there! We had homemade spring rolls to sandwhiches, mashed potatoes, cookies, etc.
Here is me and Liesl (she is always so well dressed while I show up in T-Shirts & Jeans!) Our pumpkin is of the Deathly Hallows
Here are all the pumpkins we made. Our girls are always so creative! We have everything from a princess pumpkin to a cat!
After we ate, we paired up with our Little Sisters to carve our pumpkins! Liesl, Alex and I all adore Harry Potter, and since Alex couldn't be there, we carved a Harry Potter pumpkin and I think it turned out amazingly if I do say so myself!

So tonight was Rocky Horror Picture Show and it was amazing!!!!! Before the show, my godparents Les & Jean stopped by and took me to supper at the Firestone. They were down for a wedding and I'm really glad I got to see them. Supper was fantastic, even though the waiter forgot to bring me back my lasagna boxed up!
I cannot say enough about the show.
My friend Jonathan Reiswig was Rocky and Jay Northcott was an extra. The show actually blew my mind, it was amazing.
I went with my sorority sisters. We had all the girls come over to our house before hand to have a few drinks and get dressed up. We also met up with a few of my management friends there...

They guys went even more overboard than us girls! I was thoroughly impressed by Sean Annis dressing up, heels and everything! (he's the girl in the bright pink shirt and black skirt)
Overall, it was a wonderful night full of laughs and I had a ton of fun!!

October 16, 2012
So today has been exceptionally windy, which is saying something for Lethbridge! School is still going well, just getting out of the first round of midterms and so far I'm still breathing!
I've been doing a lot of group projects lately that have been eating up my time. That being the case, I unfortunately can't come home for the 20th Anniversary Choir Show this year. There is way too much going on in my life right now school wise and there is no way I can get home and back for the show without missing classes unless I fly home, which would cost $600.
Although, I have made some time to hang out with my sorority sisters; getting out of the house once in a while. We're going to Rocky Horror Picture Show this Friday at Midnight. The University Drama Department is performing it all week and a few of my friends are in it. If any of you are reading this, Break a Leg!
I've also found my Halloween Costume this year! After the DHI party on he 26th I'll upload some photo's so you all can see it, but I'm going as Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games.
