Pumpkin carving and painting is one of my favorite Halloween activities, and since coming to Cornell I did not think that would have a chance to do either. However, I have had the chance to do both twice. My dorm room now has six pumpkins total, excluding one that already molded. I’m not sure what we’re going to do with all of the pumpkins, but they sure do liven up the place. Since I had already carved a pumpkin, at the event I decided to paint a pumpkin instead. To keep it classy, I went with a Spider-Man design to match my costume for this year. The yellow eyes really make it spooky, but the spiders could use some improvement. In hindsight, the spiders really aren’t anatomically correct, and I realize now that I completely forgot what spiders look like. I had a really great time at this event, and I hope it becomes a tradition (granted it isn’t already one)!
