Thursday, 22nd of September

It was pretty crazy, though any night spent with the girls from 11 Pleasant is crazy. I went to their house first, hanging out and having a few beers. I made a kick-ass mix of rum and coke for Gen, and we had a heart-to-heart. Around 10:30 Ashley drove us to Clayton for Brain's birthday party. Of course, no one remembered my name, but I was none too surprised. At first things were cool. I met some new people and even talked with a girl I met last semester. Mickey and I danced next to the beer pong table and watched them play. The lines for the bathroom were mad short so that was cool. I talked with a kid called Andy and probably freaked him out because I was pretty drunk and he wasn't. I played some card games, but it's hard to play with drunk people because they never pay attention.

At around 1am I was feeling extremely weird. Up to this point I was nice and drunk, the night flying by. Suddenly, at 1, my mind started to become aware again, and time started to crawl. I sat on the couch staring at the clock, watching it go from 1:15 to 1:20. I didn't feel very good so I went outside to get some fresh air. As I walked to the street, I realized it was raining. I called Chad and started walking back to DeGroat, telling him to come outside because it's beautiful and I wanted to share it with him. I could feel myself becoming emotional, but I kept from crying because I knew once I started I wouldn't be able to stop.

We met out back of DeGroat and walked around campus a little bit. After we got back to the dorm, we went up to his room and fell asleep. It wasn't a good sleep though because I kept tossing and turning. I woke up the next day feeling fine and excited about Jordan, Colleen and Neil coming to visit that day.
