Friday night festivities

Last night my college had a Christmas Banquet and dance sponsored by the junior class. I went with my buddy Mark, but we were really part of a big group of our friends. I had no idea what this whole banquet was about, being a freshman and all. We arrived in the west part of the cafeteria and were greeted with a decked out dining hall. It was pretty snazzy. It was a pretty formal affair, complete with a piantist (one of our music profs), subdued lighting, and yes, even multiple forks. Being the crazy (some may say immature) freshman that we are, we toned down the formalities by throwing bread and putting spoons on our noses. I myself was only invovled in the bread throwing. Don't worry, it was only across our table.

After the banquet we mosied over to Cooper Hall, the recently renovated, regal building on campus, where the dance was located. They prepared us for the boogying that was soon to happen by letting us make and stuff ourselves with christmans themed sugar cookies. I made a snowflake cookie (later dubbed the 'Hurricane Katrina' cookie after I swirled the blue frosting) and a forest cookie. It may be because I am an art major that no one understood the depth of the forest cookie (sarcasm*). It was really an impressionistic style cookie rather than realism.The dance was pretty fun though. It is hard to find people who are good swing dancers
:(. I love to swing dance. Good times.

*I wrote in sarcasm since you probably don't know me and when I am or am not sarcastic.
