Well it's halloween on a friday. It lovely friday, since the weather is nice today. As you walk around campus all you see, in students and maybe even professors dressed up for his fun filled halloween day. You see costumes you didn't think people would dress up as. As I walk to my classes I see a mixture of costumes such as, disney characters, super heroes and villains. Or just something unique like, a banana or unique types of foods. Anyways, as I begin to walk to my field destination I see a guy dressed as the guy from the horrific movie Halloween. He gives me that long stare and creepily waves. I was back, speeding my pace up as I am closer to my destination. It's very packed, more packed than when I usually decided to come. Maybe it's because, I picked a later time. The cashier says hello, and is wearing a costume some animal ears. There is a bowl of candy which anyone is free to have some.
I then go to grab food, I go to the pasta line. There the cook is very friendly and funny. Although he isn't wearing a costume, he still continues to make everyone laugh in the line. I sit down on the opposite side, then where I would usually be sitting during my field work. This side is very packed, so many different circles of friends. Everyone in here is wearing a costume, well the majority of people. All the athletes are in here too, but they aren't in costumes. They are dressed in either sweats and a NMSU logo shirt or a logo shirt and basketball shorts.
I sit down in a table with four chairs, many begin to stare since i am sitting alone while most of the people on this side of the restaurant are sitting with all their friends in big groups. Where I am sitting, there is a big group of guys sitting at the table in front of me. They are talking about all the halloween parties tonight, one of the parities are going to start in half an hour one of the guys is saying. One guy who looks so tried, is telling his friends that he is way too tired to turn up tonight that he thinks he is just going to go back to the dorm. Another guys starts yelling at him, well it sounds like he is yelling. He is trying to convince him to go to the party and not to act lame tonight, since it is halloweeen. Sure enough the guy that is "too tired" gives in and agrees to go to the party with all of them,
I look around and notice that while I was watching these people, I didn't observe anyone else and now most of them have left the restaurant. Well I get my stuff together put, my plate where it belongs and head out. As I walk out the cashiers say "Happy Halloween, have fun and be safe!"
