Jessie Bess' Blurty

Witty Title Here
What a fantabulous night we all had! I just woke up about 45 minutes ago and my eyes are still sleepy. So before I get to President's Ball, let's talk about Friday in general.

Psych was pretty lackluster but still interesting. Right now it's reminding me a lot of AP Bio. And, well, I hated AP Bio and didn't do that well. But maybe because I'm applying these principles to Psych I'm finding it interesting. I can't wait until we're done with this general stuff and we start applying it to cool stuff like stress, sleep, drug addiction, etc. Accounting was brutal. I don't know if it was because it was Friday and I just wanted to be done or what, but man, it went sooo slow. We turned in homework (the last problem of which I forgot to do and didn't remember that I forgot until a minute before we turned it in) and went over it. So I'm not going to get 5/5 on it. I did pretty bad. It's a good thing she only grades on effort and completeness. I'm thinking a Business minor just isn't for me. We'll see. Then, I forgot the quiz got moved to Monday so before class started I was studying my notes like a bat out of hell......lol. Finally class was done and I headed back here for some lunch and to begin the beautification process.

The afternoon consisted of laundry, lunch, emails, showering, painting nails and doing hair. It only took me about 45 mins to do my hair which is pretty cool considering it takes the salon about 3 hours. And it actually look good too! It was sort of reminiscent of Jessica Simpson's wedding hair. Although it did start falling out by the end of the night, despite all the hairspray. I did Liz's hair too and she got lots of compliments. I did those twisty things and curled it. It was really cute. Brian got to Jenny without a hitch and nothing went wrong in the preparation process. When we were all dressed we headed to the great room for some pics. Then we headed out around 6pm to dinner.

We walked out to my car and Brian, being the wonderful gentleman he is, climbed through the snow to get into my car and back it out and THEN he cleaned it off too. Then we headed to Kahunaville. Brian, Liz and I had never been there before but Liz had been to Rainforest Cafe and I guess they are similar. We only waited about 3 minutes. There was a cool fountain show thingy right by our table so we enjoyed that every 20 minutes or whatever it was. The waiter messed up my order. Jenny and I ordered the same thing but I guess he thought we meant we were going to split the order or something. So then he goes to put in my order.....only he brings me what Liz had, not what Jenny had. Oh well, it was still good and it was cheaper so I'm not complaining. And he didn't charge us for drinks. We took a lot of pics there too. We ended up leaving around 8pm.

We got to Kirkhof around 8:30pm and met up with Leah and Keith. We caught the bus downtown just in time! We hit up DeVos Place just after 9pm, when the dancing began. The building is pretty awesome. At first we weren't sure we were in the right place because there was also a golf show going on in the building. The people leaving that probably thought we were a bunch of crazies or something. Lol. But it was the right place and we checked our coats and headed into the dance. The room looked basically like a big empty warehouse. And there was a huge lack of decor. They did have a little promenade with lampposts and some kind of pretty fabric strung between them. There were a couple other places with decorations to take pictures. There was a professional photographer there just like at high school dances. There was a bar and just water for us underage folks (which I heard they ran out of by the end of the night).

So we spent the next 3 1/2 hours dancing our butts off! We all had a really good time and took lots of pictures. Even though it was supposed to be just us girls, I'm really glad Brian came too. He was a lot of fun. And I'm so glad nothing went horribly wrong. Noboday fought, cried, got stood up, or had a really crummy time (at least as far as I know). And I'm glad that I had a good time without a date. I went to a dance in high school once and it was just a group of us but a few people had significant others so I spent a lot of the dance being a wallflower. And I vowed to never go to another dance without a date because I was just that miserable. But it's lots of fun if you go with lots of people with no dates!! :-)

We ended up leaving around 12:30 and catching the first bus that came during our wait. It was a mad rush...good times. While we were waiting I think the girl who was totally plastered by about 10:30pm ( she put on quite a show with her date) was standing next to us waiting with a friend for her date to get the car. She said something sort of off the wall and I think Liz and I must have looked at her. I guess she saw us (or maybe her friend did) and then I heard her say, "They just don't understand." Only it came out more like "The jus' don unnerschland." Drunk people amuse me.

A few highlights of the evening: 1. Liz and I doing interpretive dance at Kahunaville during the fountain show. 2. Brian and his tongue dance....yeah. 3. Wasted girl

So overall some good times with good friends. If you wanna see some pics, here's a link:
