Halloween

After 40 trick or treaters in our halls (some kids from a local school on a trip), me and Annabelle, dressed as a cat and a skeleton went to the International house for a chilli dinner and halloween disco. You would not have believed some of the dance moves that were being thrown to say it was a sober event! It's always a good laugh in there, putting people from over 30 different countries together in one room is guaranteed banter. We didn't stay for too long but managed to eat some chilli and tacos, as well as winning a bag of free 'candy'. One of the women who works in the I-House was there with her husband and little boy, Leo dressed as Simba. Cutest thing ever.

We headed back to halls and 'pre-gamed' (American for pre-drinks) whilst the others got ready to go out. Between us there was a cat, a bunny, spiderwoman, a witch, 2 skeletons and Cleopatra! I would love to say "only in America" but I know that's not true.

Cleopatra comin' at ya

Team GB do Halloween, America style!

The Brits finally got to introduce the American's to some of our Uni drinking games which turned out to be hilarious, and for once I think it was them thinking that we were mad, instead of the other way around!

Obama came to Knoxville for Halloween

 We went out on the Strip and it was crazy. Everyone was dressed up, mostly not scary though, apparently you just dress up as anything on halloween which brought lots of amusement as we met Barack Obama, Big Momma, Napolean Dynamite, a hot dog and many many more. They made our random bunch seem pretty tame.

Big Momma!
