Crossing the Rubicon

How can you do this to me?! What have I done to deserve this? OK, that was a rhetorical question and you can put away the list of all the sins I've committed, bad karma points are supposed to strike back in next life, not now! Fate is an evil bitch named midterms on Halloween. Halloween is Saturday, I have midterms Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday! Is this UCSB's strategy to keep Halloween a "calm and local" event?

Halloween is a big deal. We have received letters from UCSB and from our landlord regarding measures taken to keep the partying under control. Road blocks, no guest-policies (yeah, right!) and UC officials and police forces from all over California will patrol the streets (so much for keeping it local). They declare war on Halloween! But I've already passed the point of no return, I'm here to learn for life and this is a once in a lifetime experience, if I wanted to sit imprisoned in the library with my books I would've stayed in Lund - and if someone back home wrinkle their nose in disapproval, trust me, you'll say the same during the upcoming carnival this spring (vilken jävla vår?)
