juldeaMy gosh, what a night!!!
I was originally scheduled to work 6-3. However, tonight was an Arabian Night party thrown by multiple school-sponsored groups, and I was very interested in going. So I got Bill to come work for me, just from 6-10 or 12. However long it lasted.
So I go to Arabian night at 7, and there are several people from my Mid-East Culture class there. There is also AWESOME music, great food, and... two Desert Fire girls!!! Amira and Aine were there to dance!! I hadn't seen them in like, two years. It was so awesome. What's better, they did Janna Janna and I got up with them and showed off... I didn't remember everything, but I was able to fudge it. Especially since the crowd didn't know that I -should- have known the dance. ;)
The whole party escalated into this huge Arabic dance crowd, it was wonderful. The people there were so wonderful, and the guys... hoo boy. The guys loved a girl that could dance. I got a lot of nice attention. All of the girls from my class were dancing together, and we got invited to an after-party. Two of the girls, Melissa and Ellen, said they'd be my ride but they wanted to go check out a Pan-Am party first! So I went along with them.
Apparently the Pan-Am parties don't start until like, 11-12. We got there around 10 and were some of the first people there. It was dead for a while, but as people came in and the DJ started playing actual Latin music... oh man. It was a great time. I danced with a very nice Saudi boy named Faris (like Bueller) who was friends with Ellen. He danced very well. I would have liked to have danced with him more. ;) Oh, and Pedro from the physics department was there and we danced one dance, but he didn't want to dance close up. Too bad for him, I say.
We stayed there, tearing up the floor (and the dance floor was so crowded you could barely move!) until about 2. Then we left to catch the after-party.
We found it thanks to my superb delivery-driver skills. It was kind of slow, many people had been there for hours already and there were some already passed out on couches. Oh, by the way, this whole time all I had was ONE cider. I was having way too good a time sober to think about getting drunk. ;)
So now we're back with the Arabs, and once they put good Arabian music in the stereo instead of rap there was more dancing in this guy's living room. I haven't danced so much in SO LONG... it was wonderful.
But all good things have to come to an end, and eventually Melissa drove me back here to home. I am exhausted but very, very happy. Going out and dancing was just what I needed.
Of course, I have an exam in 5 hours... ;)
