Halloween's Just Around the Corner

It's funny how fast the weather changes around here.  One day its sunny and the next it's raining and freezing.  Walking to class starts seeming like a daunting task, even though I usually don't mind it when I get there.  It would be an amazing week if the weather stayed the same each day  Then, I would know ahead of time to prepare myself.  I guess this means that Halloween is going to be another cold one this year.  It makes the atmosphere come alive, though, with the rustling leaves and the howling winds.  Even in the tower (where I live), kids are going to be able to trick or treat up and down the stairs.  Me and my friends even helped decorate the halls so that when the children went to all the rooms, they'd have something cool to look at.  However, on our floor, our things have been missing.  The first night, after two hours of creativity and hard work, we were really proud of what we did.  Black garbage bags hung over the lights, making it dark and spooky.  We also had orange holiday lights that cast a creepy orange glow on one side of the floor.  We hung cobwebs and covered up the green doors in black, writing "Beware!" and ghosts with a white paint pen.  When I woke up in the morning, I was greeted by a rubber skeleton on the futon.  At first, I wasn't sure what it was and thought that someone had just bought a decoration for the suite.  But then, as I looked even more carefully, I noticed it was the same exact skeleton that had been hanging in the hallway the night before!  As the week went by (because we did this just a mere 7 days ago), more things started disappearing.  Now, we just give up, and plan on redecorating the night before the kids are expected.  What else can one expect from a bunch of immature college kids?
