It’s The (Not So) Great Pumpkin

Posted by Kalie on November 2, 2009

I suppose all good things must come to an end (i.e. my jack-o-lantern).  In this case, it came in the form of a moldy pumpkin.  I woke up this morning to find the pumpkin that I’d carved had collapsed sometime during the night and covered in black mold (I swear this all happened overnight!).  I was a bit sad, but didn’t think much of it.  As I was just about ready to leave for class, though, I grabbed my notebook with all my class’ notes in it…it was soaked.  The juices from the pumpkin had leaked out during the night and made its way to my notebook.  As I cautiously picked it up, I noticed my geography notes had been transferred to my desk as the wet ink stuck to the desktop.  I guess that’s one way to make myself study!  I went into the hallway, saw Nicki, and said, “I’ve had a bit of a pumpkin mishap.”  So with Nicki’s help, I managed to throw away my pumpkin, sop up the liquid, and put my notes in a plastic bag to take to class.  Despite sounding like a horrible experience, it really was quite funny!  The ink came off of my desk with some elbow grease, but the memory will live on through my now moldy-pumpkin-smelling notes.  (Isn’t that the best way to remember things?!)

Cheers!
