{highlights}
✨Finally passing my classes
✨ Women’s fall Bible study started up at my church, and it’s the first time I’ve been able to attend a woman’s study in what feels like forever.
✨ Cooking green curry coconut rice.
✨ My boyfriend and I celebrated our one-year aniversary since we started dating. I gave him a green journal with a velveteen cover, and he gave me an adorable book of stickers that I plan to use in my bullet journal.
✨ Speaking of bullet journal, I’m doing a fun fall theme with pumpkins. I hadn’t used the journal much in September, and I felt pretty lost/off track. This October, I’ve felt a lot better.
✨ Henna night! I did butterflies on my arm and a outer space theme on my friend’s arm.
✨ Christmas caroling in the dorms with friends, including Tessa Doerr who was visiting from New York.
✨ HvZ (Humans vs. Zombies, a campus wide event where zombies try to infect humans by tagging them and humans must defend themselves with nerf blasters) was this last week and despite my team being decimated night two and having to hide in a parking lot for the rest of the evening, I managed to survive the entire event.
✨ Found a moth by my classroom.
✨ Ran around in the pouring rain and got soaked.
✨ was surprised with a gift of chicken noodle soup.

[Last Month’s Poll]
The answers to last month’s truth and a lie tells me you severely underestimate my love for cats. The lie is actually #2, we’ve never owned a calico or adopted a cat from the neighbors.
The cats that I remember in my lifetime include Willie (Maine coon), Mink (Siamese), Misha, Kit (black, possibly Maine coon), Mango (orange female!), Daisy (tortoiseshell), Sylvester (tuxedo) and Umbra (tortoiseshell stumpy Manx.)
