First day of the last week of classes!
Where did the semester go?! Somehow, the last week of classes was TODAY. I mean, wait, what? Didn't Spring Break just end, like... a week ago? This semester, especially after Spring Break, flew by exceedingly fast.
But first I want to talk about this weekend. Now that the weather is PERFECT, I've been outside as much as possible. I don't want to miss a second of the amazing perfection that has been Potsdam's weather for the past week or so. I'm definitely a few shades darker, thankfully. I hate being so vampire/Snow White pale; it's gross.
Friday night was my school's annual Gay Prom. This year, it was Disney themed (and called Enchanted Ball). I went dressed as Rapunzel, in the dress my grandma made me, and my friend Steven (one of my best/closest friends here at school) went as Flynn Rider. Rapunzel and Flynn won for best couple, which I was so so so happy about! I was SO determined to win one of the costume contests this year. AND there was a cake decorating contest, and the team I was on came in as the runners up (by ONE vote!!).
I'm pretty sure I've said on here before, but I tend to be shy around a lot of people (even if I know all of them) and around people who I don't know. At dances, I tend to stay off to the side and just watch people dancing and having fun. At dances, I think it's fun to see other people having fun. But part of the reason I love the dances that LGBTAA hosts is because really, not that many people go. I think the most people there at one point on Friday was maybe about 20 or 25. I know other people would want more people there, but me personally? I love the fact that there's not a lot of people there because I'm so much more comfortable with fewer people around. Steven and I spend nearly the entire four hours of the dance in the middle of the dance floor, having a grand time.
The dance ended at midnight, then Steven, 2 of my other friends, and I went to go get dinner (yes at midnight. What?) And we hung out in the Union until they closed at 1 and kicked everyone out. Steven was tired and wanted to go to bed, so he left us then, but the rest of us didn't want to go back to our dorm rooms so we decided to go stargazing in Lehman Park, across the road from campus. I don't remember if I wrote about Gay Prom on here last year, but after it ended last year, I went stargazing with friends too. We stayed out until a little after 3, when it started to get too cold. During the couple of hours we were out there, I saw SEVEN shooting stars, which was literally the most magical thing ever. It was truly an enchanted evening.
Saturday was Mayfaire (which I thought was kind of boring... it's just not something I'm really into.) and the CLASS carnival (which really wasn't that fun, but they had free food so..)
Then Sunday, Steven and I went geocaching and found two that were close to campus. I absolutely love geocaching; it's my favorite nice-weather activity (with frisbee as a VERY close second). It was really fun; he had never gone before, and (he said) he really liked doing it. So that was cool. We went star gazing again, and I saw two more shooting stars, which was pretty awesome.
And then, finally, today. The first day of the last week of classes before finals week. It was a really good day, which sped by in the blink of an eye. After classes ended, I had a club meeting to go to (the English and Communication Students Organization; ECSO) and then I ended up hanging out with one of my friends from that club for a while, playing frisbee.
I love this nice weather. So much. I hate the winter; cold weather and I do NOT get along very well. This sunny, 80 degree weather we've had for the past few days makes me so happy.
