This past weekend was Winter Gala and it was a blast! Free cheesecake (pictured below, that’s me on the left and my friend Meghan on the right), great band, getting the chance to dress up? I’m all over it. The band was this cool Caribbean-type group, plus there was a DJ, so lots of dancing and desserts ensued.

Winter Gala is such a funny event because you can usually label what year the students are based on what they’re wearing. My first year, my friends and I dressed to the nines and headed over to Lowry, only to find half of the people there in jeans and sweats. That’s when I realized that first years dress up because they’re used to high school dances; sophomores and juniors dress down because they know they can get away with it (having seen the sophomores and juniors the year before dressed like that); seniors dress up because it’s their last Winter Gala. Last year, for example, I definitely went in my pajamas, enjoyed the free dessert, danced around like an idiot for a few minutes, and hung out for the rest of the night in my dorm.

Winter Gala is a great event put on by the ever-present Wooster Activities Crew. I went on a WAC trip this past Wednesday to a Cavs game, which I’ll tell you about tomorrow…ps, speaking of WAC, can I venture that my procrastination is wholly due to Woo mooVs (it’s really not, but I’m not accepting responsibility right now for my delaying my drafts, haha)? Yes, that looks like gibberish if you don’t know what it is, but we have a movie channel here at Wooster and the school gets the rights to about 10 films a month. This month, I have probably watched Dreamgirls with some of the football team at least three times (sorry to call you out, guys…). It’s also Jamie Foxx month apparently, because in addition to Dreamgirls, they’re also showing The Kingdom and Collateral (which is possibly one of the scariest movies to wake up to EVER. It’s very loud and Tom Cruise is very scary). Anyhoosiers, it’s crunch time on some homework since I had class cancelled this morning…
