Happy October 11th! Not an official holiday, but basically so. October 11’s the day we estimate Pearl’s birthday to be (knowing only that it was in October of 2017) as a reference to Parent Trap. How are you doing? How’s the Fall going? It was finally cold enough to wear my wool coat this morning — at the expense of it being cold.
This week’s been fairly uneventful. I watched “Elvira: Mistress of the Dark’ a few days ago and absolutely loved it. 10/10 recommended. I also saw some lemonade at the local grocery store that was transparent like slightly yellow water. Mysterious. I went to clay sculpture-making at my school’s art club and made a few tiny cats. I fear for their safety on the coming flight.
It was a very chill atmosphere while molding clay. I rather liked it.
There was aurora borealis last night, and I was able to get some pictures. You couldn’t really see it with the naked eye, but using phone-camera three second exposure helped a lot.
Mom was very excited about the northern lights. I was almost too tired to go out, but she really wanted to see them. As someone who’s not as insanely into them as her, it’s sad she doesn’t get to see them from planes as much as I do. She’s doing well, by the way: she’s been spending the past month going really ham on her Halloween costume, a sort of forest-fairy-witch. I’ll ask her if I can show you pictures on Halloween (she’s always a bit nervous about Mom coming over to kill us).
So that’s what’s been going on here. I can’t promise greater excitement next week, since most of my day-to-day now is stressing over essays and walking to and from the grocery store. I miss you a lot. I hope you’re enjoying the beautiful consumerist-American Halloween October. I love the beautiful consumerist-American Halloween October.
With love,
Alice
