Middle Earth Formal was fairly interesting, but it definitely wasn't as fun as it was last year. I partly felt like I was going out of obligation to support my peers, but the other part of me thought "Ah, what the heck. I might as well go." The first several hours were spent socializing and taking pictures and after that, I pretty much just focused on the food:
Salad with raspberry vinaigrette, chicken with a mango sauce, vegetables, and baked potatoes.
Mini black forest cake with berries, and some chocolate-covered bananas I hoarded from the chocolate fountain station.
I only spent around half an hour dancing, and the rest of the night was spent hanging out with staff at the check-in tables and just fooling around. Eventful, I guess, but I probably won't go again next year. Goodbye, Middle Earth formals!
I also had my first four of 47 potential attendant interviews today.
As of now, I have a women studies ad analysis paper to write. It's due tomorrow and I am currently not anywhere near done. God, I wish my paper would just do itself.
