The last hurrah

So we’re up to Saturday night. After the Variety Show I rushed off the find the student union. I was one of the chaperones for the dance. Not long after arriving Paige came up to Andrew and I and said the games haven’t arrived at the games night, does one of you want to walk back to North and deliver them in a golf cart. I said that I as I had a car parked at the variety show I could take that back and do it. I got back to North, was looking for the games and found April who said she had already taken them over. So I headed back to the dance, getting to drive one of the FPS golf carts for the first time! After a few wrong turns I parked it at the back entrance.

The dance was entertaining. The older students only stayed for the first hour and I don’t blame them. I know from my experience as a student at IC the best times were sitting outside at night talking to people from halfway across the world and singing song together with a guitar (also drinking Ale-8, but we were in Kentucky! it’s a mostly Kentucky only drink that I still love.) It was your typical high school social. amazingly they seem not to have changed much since I was in high school.

Turns out this is still a thing:

Watching, sometimes singling along and reminiscing about our lost youth was enjoyable. After my lamenting the lack of Taylor Swift, Paige spoke to the DJ and we did get You Belong to Me. We didn’t love all the song choice, appropriateness wise and Paige vetoed one sone, but overall it was a good night. We finished about half and hour early as there was only a handful of people left. We managed to squeeze 6 people on to the golf cart back to north, but Andrew and I standing up and holding onto the roof. Paige wasn’t too sure, but it went fine. I did a brief bit of organising to pack in the morning and then hit the sack. Final night, sad.
