grad ball 2005

The U of W faculty of Mathematics Grad Ball on saturday was... well.. kinda boring. I knew maybe 20 people who attended and a handful of these are merely accquaintances. I kept checking Terence's watch the whole night and thinking, "man, will this party ever end?". By midnight I was more than ready to call it a night.

Of course, we couldn't leave without a mandatory photo session. So we did them in groups: all the Jackson people; Zion people; Cliffwood people.

I particularly liked the pic with all the Pineway people. I thought it was the best one. I could be biased though.



Trekked over to Angela's house afterwards to hang out. Their place is so nice. Made me wonder why I lived that hellhole they called a house on Sunview for 3 years. Oh right, my housemates were more concerned with saving 50 bucks a month than living in more comfortable quarters. Grr. Oh sure, it's all about being economical until there's a mice problem/the furnace dies/the plumbing backs up and floods the basement. Then it's all, "oh Eve, I have an exam tomorrow, could you take care of it?" Curses, Sunview.

Anyway, ranting aside, the after-party gathering was a lot of fun. The 15 of us played various games like Uno, electronic Pick-up-Stix (so fun), chinese checkers, PS2 and some punky-ass, really-loud dice game. People got progressively loud as they got more drunk, and I rocked the Pick-up-Stix due to the lack of said drunkeness. See? there's always an upside to passing on the alkihol. Left their place at around 3:30 completely exhausted, but happy.

time for: some work. then lunch.
