Happy Halloween!

On Oct. 29th, it was the Halloween party day. From the morning, I saw many costumes because teachers wore costumes in the classes. There are Aladin, E.O. Superman, Minnie Mouse and so on. I had been excited since the morning. However, when I went back home after finishing lunch, it turned out that my roommate, Aki, had fever and had to move to the Whitman Hall, a sick house, right now till she got better. Our group had prepared hard together for this day since a few weeks ago in spite of a lot of homework. She looked very sad, so I was also sad. I just hoped she will feel better soon.

After all classes were finished, we prepared for the party. At the party, there are many cute costumes, but no one wore scary costumes... except for us! Everyone looked at us, and some were scared. We were asked to take pictures of us or with us many times. Many people said to us "Good job!" We danced thriller. I'm a bad dancer, so it took me much more time to remember the dance than any other group mates. Actually, I made mistakes in dancing, but it was successful. I really enjoyed it, so it's OK! I had a wonderful night. It was the first and maybe the last day that I 'm that popular!

When I was young and in America, I experienced Halloween with my family, and when I visited houses saying "Trick or treat!" after the party, it reminded me the memories; my brother wore Ninja turtle costume, and my sister was Donald duck. I was so happy that I could experience Halloween in America again. I think it's one of the greatest American cultures. We should do that in Japan also! However, I was sad to hear that one day a child was killed when he or she visited a house to get some treat on Halloween. It must not happen! I want everyone all over the world to have a happy Halloween. We celebrate Halloween for people who died in the past. We mustn't have more dead people on Halloween.

Happy Halloween!
