Thursday - Paul Robeson Banquet 2008

--> This banquet was held by OSAU (Organization of Students for African Unity) to present their awards for the year. The banquet was also held in a boat. One thing about me is that I HATE being in situations that can lead me to drowning (LMAO). Thus, being in a boat scared me a bit but while I was in there...everything was fine. The view was so beautiful from inside the boat and it was sooo funny seeing everyone go back and forth left and right while dancing because there were times when the boat moved. me

--> Also present at the banquet was the friend who I mentioned before who is not speaking to me, but is friends again with my friends. That started off a little awkward because I didn't know what was going to happen because last week my friends decided to sit with her and not all together with the rest of my friends. So there was a little seperation there. At first it didn't bother me, but it made me think "Are they going to be that same way at the banquet?" But it was all fine...I guess. At one point, I remember everyone who >had something against her< were dancing with her leaving me and one of my friends to the dust, which made me feel out of the loop...BUT...that feeling was for a second because things like that don't faze me for that long. I came there to have fun...without the drama. =]

Here are some pictures from the event:









Friday---Party in the city

--> We wanted to get there early so we wouldn't have to pay, but of course we made it a bit late. My friend kept walking and didn't pay and so did I. At first, I didn't realize I was supposed to stop and pay bc I thought maybe since we were only a bit late that they were still letting us in for free, but then when I realized what i did...it was too late.

The part started off shaky...it was a whole bunch of NY people standing on the wall. That was SOOOO annoying to me bc my thing is: if you're at a party...then DANCE! you can stay at home and stand on a wall...ALSO...if you PAID...you BETTER dance...bc then that;s just a waste of money! So...I got up and danced in the middle of the floor...I did not care how crazy I looked...I couldn't just sit and be bored. But man...later on when the NJ people got in...the party was GREAT! SO much dancing...and lots of interesting stories (lol). The party seemed like it lasted forever too. >It ended at 4 AM<. AND I had to work a 4 to 6 AM shift at school too...so I was late bc we got lost coming back and did not go to sleep until 6 AM...to have to wake up at 11 the next morning... = no sleep for me!
