...and everything is solved to unanimous approval. Yay for mediating. Meanwhile, we got our shirts today, which look pretty cool. Unfortunately, we found today that the Japanese students had given us the kanji for "sky, money, [nonexistent character]" instead of "Benzai-Ten". I don't get it. We're prepared to be the laughingstock of Japan at Game Day tomorrow. Ah well, this is the stuff memories are made of.

Today, I got to practice driving more. When not driving, I was either working on my costume or helping the Halloween committee make poster things for decoration. I can't reveal our theme here for fear of an underclassman seeing it, so I'll inform the populace next Thursday. Anyway, let it be known that cordless drills, rasps, and band saws are every costumer's best friend. I've now drilled the holes for the leather strips on my breastplate, and I de-CostumeShopped my sword. Namely, I sawed the curlique things off the hilt. I'm going to wrap the hilt in duct tape (of course duct tape exists on the Discworld!) or black gaffe, then re-spray paint it so that the blade isn't evilly shiny. Huzzah. My costume is nearly done!
