This is November, this is November, November, November? I hope Halloween was fun yesterday night. What did you do? Something cool?
This last week has been more studying per usual. I’ve fallen into another Stardew Valley hole which I shall eventually emerge from sick with the game. I bought Mom a birthday present today, but I don’t know how much she’s on here, so it must stay a secret. I buy hers early since I’m at school in February. As for Christmas, she wants British kitsch. There’s lots of it around: I know somebody who only has plates/bowls/mugs of princess Diana. One of those would be perfect. (In fact, when Great Grandma passed, I got a book mark of hers commemorating princess Diana and prince Charles’ wedding. It’s the funniest thing I own).
Also, a friend watched my succulent over the summer and gave it back to me. I then left it in one of the campus bathrooms on accident. Since then, the succulent has disappeared. I wonder if I left him somewhere else or if someone has stolen him. The bathroom sink had a bit of dirt on it… I felt like a detective seeing that. I suppose somebody grabbed him, but I am not too sad, since I was scared that I’d have to cut him up since he’s getting too big for his pot, and I’m not sure if that would have killed him? Either way, that was a bit of a murder mystery adventure I had last Saturday.
Mom sent lots of pictures from Halloween back home after I wrote to you yesterday. It was much more familiar! Almost everybody was in costume, and there were lots of fun ones. Someone was a traffic cone. It makes me miss home. I hope that I do well enough to enjoy it after graduation. I suppose that is all for now. The Twix I found on the ground yesterday hasn’t killed me yet. I hope you’re doing well and are as alright as you can make it.
With love,
Alice
