The Gala was wonderful. Cristina kept calling me every few minutes to see if I was ready, and half the time, I was in the middle of doing something. I almost burnt my hair because I was trying to get to the phone.

Rob took forever to get to the buses. Cristina was calling him and grumpy until he showed up out of nowhere and freaked us out.

The bus ride sucked. There were these two couples in the back making all kinds of noise and being stupid.

Cristina was wearing a blue and black dress for the Gala, and I picked an all black dress.

So we walk in, and there are two lines, one for under 21 and 21 and up so they could get a band for drinks.

The food was ok, not the greatest, but it sure beat the food in the caf so it was all good. They didn’t start until the band started playing.

I had met this guy named Matt before we were allowed inside the hall, and he comes up to me soon as the second song starts and informs me that I owed him a dance.

Dancing all night with my sisters, my friends, and some of my very goofy classmates made the night awesome. No one knows how to party harder than the greeks! Soon as they put on we are family, there was a glob of Tri Sigma’s and ZBT’s. Thats one way to get a bunch of girls jumping in heels. We were singing at the top of our lungs.

A Lynn student was asked to play the drums on stage, I think his name was Eric. It was awesome to see one of our own rocking out on stage, having a good time. We were cheering him on and dancing. He did a great job and blew some of his friends mind away. The whole bus ride back he was calling up every one he knew and telling them about it. THE WHOLE RIDE BACK. lol. “You won’t believe what Eric did! He can play the drums! I’m serious! It was great!”

I got a chance to build a closer relationship with my friend Dee. We talked that night a lot and I learned that she is a great listener when you need one, plus she gives great advice.

For the song “This is how we do it” seeing as the song is so old, it was awesome to see all these people still singing every word and jumping like we were all back in the late 80’s early 90’s. I almost felt like I was being sucked back in time for a few minutes. BSU some how found itself to the middle of the dance floor hopping up and down. Who the heck new that Sam could jump so damn high???

By the end of the night, we were all having so much fun dancing, that we started asking for another song. It soon became a chant of “One more song.” One of the back up singers randomly walks to the edge of the stage, starts singing Sauja boy and starts doing the dance while singing. Haha. That is how we ended our night!
