Tonight is real Halloween. Egyptians don't celebrate Halloween as a country (which is why we make such a big deal of it on campus during our fall festival). There are 5 little kiddos that belong to the teachers here, so they came around to our apartments and trick or treated. A couple teachers were hosting a Halloween party for the teachers after the trick or treating. I accidentally threw away my Gerald mask earlier in the week, so luckily I had this flamingo costume I brought from the states. I was in such a terrible mood today that as soon as I put it on, I burst into tears. I don't pretend to understand my emotions. I know full well they make no sense, and when I try to rationalize them, they just get more intense. I have no clue why I was so upset and cranky, but putting on this stupid costume intensified it for some reason. I understood in that moment I wouldn't be heading to the Halloween party (I'm fairly certain depressed flamingos aren't too fun to be around) but I'd keep it on for when the kids came. I had a phone date scheduled with a good friend and sent her this picture, warning her of how grumpy I was and that she better be ready for it. :)
