midwinter ball











5 weeks down, 5 to go. Right now I'm on midterm break (aka the only 3 day weekend of the term) and although it seems like the extra day off wouldn't make much of a difference these extra 24 hours rock. Another great thing about midterm break - the school always organizes something really fun during it. Winter term they set up Midwinter Ball... which is a formal dance, with 3 different rooms of dancing with 3 different themes and 3 different styles of dancing. Our overall theme this year was Literature Genres... there was the SciFi room, which was just normal dance party music and normal dancing, but there was some cool lights and stuff. Then there was the Yule Ball (Harry Potter) with Social Dancing (and live music) in it. Lastly, in Sevy they set up a Murder Mystery themed room, complete with caution tape, footprints, and chalked out bodies on the floor. The dance style there was swing dancing and they also had live music... they definitely played La Bamba. Yeah, that happened. I visited all three rooms, but spent most of my time in SciFi. Anyways, the pictures above are all from that night before we went to the dance.

Today I'm going to probably hit up the libe and maybe the rec if I have time. The weather has been so good lately (think 30s and 40s!!) that I haven't had a good excuse not to trek across campus and work out. Hope you all are doing well. Take care everyone!

Ahhh...dorm life. It looks like you're having a great time! By social dancing, do you mean line dancing, Jane Austen style? With live music and everything? That sounds like amazing fun. Is Alex one of the handsome lads in these photos?

haha not quite line dancing... i wish! it was just partner dancing-ish stuff. i guess we have a club and class for it here. and it was nice to have the different rooms because there are a lot of people that don't like to come to school dances because they enjoy LEGIT dance not crazy dance, so it was really cool to see people that could actually dance. some swing dancers were really intense haha. Alex isn't in one of the pics. we actually broke up, but we're still bffls haha. nick, michael, and steven are in the pics. it was kinda supposed to be a girls night before the dance, but they came and crashed our picture time.
