     *WEEK 8-D: Imagine it is the year 2020, and you are in college. Describe a day in your life -- what you do in the morning, where you go during the day, where and what you eat, what's in your backpack, where you live, who you hang out with, how and where you study, how you spend the evening, etc. DON'T FORGET: What college? Where is it? What's the weather like there? What's your major?
   *WEEK 8-E: Imagine it is the year 2035 and you are now several years into a successful career. Describe your life: what do you do for a living? How much money do you make? Where can you afford to live on that salary? Do you have a family? What do you do on weekends? What do you do every day during your work day?

PLEASE NOTE: The "Fun Friday" Pumpkin Carving Contest has been moved from Friday, Oct. 30th to THURSDAY Oct. 29th to avoid schedule conflicts with Homecoming activities. If you were assigned to bring a pumpkin or other supplies, please make sure you bring them on the correct day!
