your account reminded me of my first weekend here. friday night we went
out (as is customary at a party school such as this) and got awfully drunk.
not even the two mile walk home (which included a footbridge, an awful
hill, seven flights of steps, a six lane divided highway, and a security
guard---no exaggerations here) sobered us up.
anyway, unlike most of the nights we've spent wandering around drunk or
watching movies until we're sober, we took old issues of my school
newspaper, folders from high school english courses, and our personal
journals out into the courtyard and sat from 12:30 until nearly 3 am and
read poetry, prose, and discussed the significance of all of the little
things...basically anything and everything was fair game.
it was probably the best time i've had when i was drunk (minus the
excitement of running from cops last friday). it definitely gave all of us
involved a new perspective of one another (given that we'd all known each
other for less than a day). compared to all of the other things we've done
after parties, this was definately one of my favorite times. (i might add,
we were virtually sober when we finally went in and went to bed).
