i think this pic says it all. we had a blast at the Gala. you know this is a popular misconception thinking RA's are all strict and boring but our group this year is all about getting crazy on the dancefloor! the 74 of us are a bundle of extremely enthusiastic people. i dont think we sat down once the music started. and my favorite dance was liz ali's life is a highway

last night at scranton was exceptionally fun too (why does this always surprise me when i have fun here!). a bunch of us went to matt's apartment (four years and i think this was my first time at linden apartments...they are huge and really nice...i gotta admit it makes one one-dorm-room look kinda small). then we all went to oscars and the dancing continued. i made two new non U of S friends (they totally reminded me of folks i'd meet at avalon it was awesome!!). lauren and i got free beer from a dude with hair almost as long and blonde as mine! next our lil posse then went to city slice. i talked to this guy i met for a second time and the first time i thought he was a total Jerkoff but this time around there was some improvement. i also met up with a fellow bud from queens Alex and we went across the street to Sound Factory and then another friend's house on monroe.

i turned in at 4 am and there was still peeps hanging around!! i know i missed out on john 00 fleming and chris liebing at avalon this weekend BUT you know every now and then scranton times are pretty darn good. and beside, you cant really compare a place with people you see every day to a big ol city where nobody knows your name. different moods for different occassions. besides lately in the city ive been meeting people from another country and i already have quite a number of pen pals. sometimes it really is cool just to go to a place where everybody already knows your name and you can party it up the way you all know how ;o)
good times
