today was the BOATT DANCEEE. i put up such a fuss about not wanting to go. but then my floormates made me. and i found myself actually excited to go. it's like a prom redux - we have charter buses that take us from our dorms to the embarcadero. from the pier we get on a cruise ship - 3 levels of djs, nonalcoholic drinks, and desserts. busride - fun. embarcadero - fantastically gorgeous and we go there at exactly sunset which was perfectly timed. cruise ship - perfectly sized with everything you need.
to be honest, i was like "whoa ... i think i'm having more fun now than i had at prom." prom was good - but definitely it was because of the friends i went with. tmv makes anything fun. tmv makes car washing fun (and that's been proven). but this was like ... nonstop dancing from 8-12 which i would have never imagined myself doing except that i was in a group where EVERYONCE danced and no one would want to sit down. plus the group itself was fun. so, WIN WIN. i thought the djs were pretty good - i wish i could find ALL the songs that were played and dl them. have to get: that really annoying danity kane song, some song that's about ghostriding, but it's not the e-40 one. so many others that i'll never remember.
we also had the cha cha shuffle? or something which was pretty cool and i had never seen it before. but EVERYONE knew what was going on so i was like "WHOA what have i been missing out on?" i also love how certain songs have designated dancing moves. like for flo-rida, the ENTIRE DANCE FLOOR does the get low part, and i wish someone could film it. and kelly clarkson - since you've been gone seems to be the staple last dance song everyone jumps to.
eek my feet hurt so much. i didn't even wear heels for that long. honestly, by the time we got onto the bus i wanted to take my shoes off. thankfully michelle had told me to bring rainbows, which i actually didn't use at all on the ship (because i just went barefoot) but it came really in handy when we went directly to late night after.
so dancing - fun. i wish had really good moves. oh well. pictures taken on the ship are amazing because one side was the sf financial district and the other was the bay bridge. god, i love bay area. anyway, four hours passed by insanely quickly. my calves hurt now but before it was the ball of my foot. not much to say about the cruise ship part - we danced, we had fun, we got separated at some point but we somehow ALL found each other and became an even bigger group than we started out with. we got back on buses around 12:30 and i pretty much fell asleep the second we hit bay bridge. when i woke up we were four blocks from home and i was like WHOAAAA.
sad yet funny to me: three people brought cameras. two of them lost power before the bus even got to sf. mine lasted the whole night and still has power. so YEAH. but boo i never got an ENTIRE group picture. i think each time we managed to get big group pictures, it was only half of the people. :( it's so hard to get big group pics. we never really got one for prom. we never got one for graduation OR grad night. BOO. oh wellllll
anyway - we get back to the dorm; i had suggested going to late night but most people were like "nooo i'm tired." but when i get off the bus paulo's like YEAH LET'S GO so we end up going with like five other people. LONGEsT LINE EVERRR but SUCH GOOD FOOD (i was really hungry). delicious omelet plate, as i always get. we come back, i immediately shower, and here i am.
so yay! i can't believe it's a thursday night. i was like "GUYS WE SHOULD EAT BRUNCH TOMORROW ... wait ... is it friday tomorrow?" and before we left christine was like "nooo after today we have nothing to look forward to, it'll just be finals" and i was like "yeah sure whatever" but now i'm like OMGGG THATS SO TRUE. i'm seriously sad now. time to get ready for finals. SADNESS. i don't want to stop living with my floormates. i don't want my friends to graduate! one of them is going to ucla med school and i'm like omggg :( your real life is beginning. :( must savor these last few days.
but yeah. i heart my friends. both the ones here and the ones back home. :)
