1st Harvard Party

Not counting the Dorm Social, and that didn't really count anyway.

So the party started at 9:30pm, but I was at the a cappella concert until 10:30, and then wasn't able to get there until around 11:30. I guess that was lucky, though, because apparently there was still no one there by the time 11:00 rolled around, and it only just started going when I arrived.

At the dance party, I was mostly just around Ariel and Shehry...at least at first. Then a guy I had met earlier that day joined us and we had a swell time. Except that it was far too hot and humid inside; after 12, the windows inside the dance room were all fogged up. That translated to frequent breaks outside of the room for some soda [which unfortunately ran out by the 3rd break]. Encountered some of my roommates--Ding and Darragh--and some other friends, some of whom I was surprised to see.

Dancing was full of both awkward and good times. It took some warming up--especially the first and second times in the room--but by the end I was pumped up and just going at it. Haha, reminds me a bit of prom. :) The difference, though, was that then I had someone specifically looking out for me and making sure I was dancing and having a good time [<3 Emily] whereas this time it was up to me. Have to say that I'm a bit proud of myself for being able to get loose.
As for the awkwardness...well, at one point there was an older man who started dancing with us and then started getting close to me--by the end of the song he was practically dancing TO me, and I took that as a good excuse to go out for some fresh air. Then, another person who I had met earlier also seemed to take a liking to me, and that also got a little awkward, especially since it seemed like this person was pretty into me, but I wasn't quite reciprocating. Then again, it's not like I flat out rejected to dance, but I'm hoping mixed signals weren't sent.
I did have an amazing time with a friend who I've been spending time with. And I met another cool person--in person this time, rather than just on Facebook. So in the end, it was a pretty exciting night.

Now I'm just sweaty and wondering if I should shower before going to bed. Ah well. :)
