So, grad night has come and gone. And since then life has calmed considerably. Projects are in the process of being completed and everyone is scrambling to get it all finished.
But here's what happened at Grad Night:
The three hour limo ride was enjoyable, comical, memorable, and even a little bit interesting. We were obnoxious and blasted over-played pop tunes for the whole downtown core to hear. It was a beautiful day, so there are pictures galore of us gathered together for photographic evidence that we were infact enjoying ourselves.
Then we arrived at the hotel. Each of us managed to get ourselves into the building and take even MORE photos. Then we all found our seats (which to our horror were not numbered...causing supreme chaos to unfold...but luckily the problem was quickly solved). Listened to a 10 minute speech while we all just wanted to eat. My table (in typical fashion) was last to get food, but it didn't seem to matter. We all ate our over priced food and enjoyed it...mostly. Then came dissert, more photos, and music.
Then the dancing started. And after an over-kill of fast songs...the DJ played slow songs. And I showed up everyone in the room with my amazing slowdance abilities (none of that awkward middle school hands on waiste, hands on shoulders crap...it was LEGIT dancing...twirling and all!). Needless to say I impressed most of the female population at grad. ;)
Then after a few "dress mishaps", a rather awkward experience involving foreshadowing, thanks returned via having someones babies, ball and chain syndromes, dying flowers, and of course my "broken" toe (which didn't cause TOO much trouble for me), we all returned to the school for aftergrad (while I went home). And then we all managed to enjoy the remaining few days of "grad weekend" each in our own special way....job hunting....sigh!
So, did I enjoy grad? After months of reading my gripes, and rants, and disgruntled prejudices towards the evening...did I enjoy myself?
Well reader, I'm afraid, that will always remain a mystery.
Signing Off,
DG
