ah, the weekend

SO.

Friday there was a good lecture on Muscle that we all went to, which was fun. After, Alex and I tried to watch a movie (failed because of speaker problems) and Anna hooked a very cute prospie. Then, Anna and Lia and Sarah and I thought about Lola's outfits and other girly things.
Saturday, I did some homework, took a very nice walk with Anna, and then got ready for Lola's.

This was fun, and took a while. I did my hair all fancy, (too fancy, according to some...) put a little make-up on, and the long, slinky, slit-up-to-there black velvet dress that I found at goodwill that fits nicely and was 6 dollars. Oh. And my black fishnets stockings. It was hot.
So then Alex (who looked very spiffy and handsome in his suit with suspenders and bowler(?) hat) picked me up, and we went to dinner. This was terribly stressful for him, but I had fun *grin*. Then, we picked up our alchohol, and went to Anna and Bekah's room, for a little bit of pre-gaming, which turned into a dance party (like usual...we seem to spend all our time dancing)...but everyone looked really nice, and we all drank too much. I was drinking coconut rum, which I've decided is 1) no where near as good as jello-shots 2) way too sweet and 3)takes way too long to feel it...which means i drank more than i thought i was drinking. grr.

Anyway. so then, LOLA's

Lola's is this big party that the juniors throw. It's a formal wear gambling/dancing/boozing party. It was Great Gatsby themed, which meant they were serving drinks named after the characters. By the way, never order a mint julip (I tried a sip of someone's and it was GROSS)...but cosmopolitans are okay. I danced (tipsily) for a little while, and then when I felt a bit more in control, tried my hand at gambling. I played for a while with Alex and Anna's money (both were not feeling sober enough to gamble)...I played blackjack, and ended up about 3 dollars down, which wasnt that bad, considering the dealer was drunk enough that he kept trying to take my money when I had higher cards than him. Hmm.

Anyway. So I had fun, everyone looked wonderful.

Today, I sat in the sun in my t-shirt ( i heart annapolis) and wrote 3 pages of my freshman essay. Go Me!

And now I'm off to watch the oscars. Life is good.
