The Grad Party

Last night was a fun. Sort of.

I pretty much bombed my chem. test. It was 3am in the morning and I hadn’t reviewed anything. Figured I’d take my chances and see how I could do on my own. At least I know what to expect from now on. I clocked out when I got home.

I was supposed to meet up with Todd at 9. Took a quick shower and headed out. When I finally found parking, I noticed Calvin walking out towards his car. I didn’t say anything and just went inside and sat down on the couch. He came back in with this surprised look on his face and asked, “Hey. How long have you been here?” “Just got here,” I said. After eating half of the burrito Todd had bought for me, we left to go over to Vons to pick up some beer. He got a call from some girl named Sandy. So we detoured and went to her place first instead of the grad party.

She was a really cool girl, very pretty, attractive, Asian, curly hair. But not my type at all. Supposedly she’s a 24-hour stoner or something to that extent. She’d be a cool friend though. Nick was with her too. I thought they were a couple but they turned out to be just roommates. He was a tall 25 year old white guy, into tennis, in some medical related field. She introduced me to PeterAnswers.com which seriously blew my mind. Calvin and his girlfriend Chrissy came over. By this time I had 3 shots of whisky and was already feeling lightheaded. We eventually went downstairs to the party.

It was a pajama party. You had some people in bathrobes, towels, and sweatpants. We went in there fully clothed. I had a jello shot with raspberry vodka and two shots of vodka. This girl tried to talk to me. We caught each others eyes and she walked over to me and started talking. Her name was Fallon, Computer Science major over at UCSD. She looked like one of those angry Asian women. After some brief introductions, and a compliment about my hair, we just sorta stood there. And I cursed myself for being so unsociable. So I went to put both of us out of our misery and said I was gonna throw my cup away. She walked back to some other people and started dancing with this guy. Good for her.

When we left, I was feeling really dizzy. I ended up on the floor in the stairway trying to steady my head and my stomach. Chrissy went to get me some water and after she did, I hobbled downstairs and tried to walk back to Todd’s place as he kept me stabilized. I crashed on his couch.

What sucked was that I couldn’t fall asleep despite being unable to keep my eyes open. I was conscious enough to take notice of everyone leaving for work or whatever in the morning. Around 10 or 11, Todd came down and we ended up talking a long time about stuff. Actually, it was mostly just him talking to me about stuff. Even when I was at the door ready to leave, we were still talking but at that point I felt more involved in the conversation.

But yea, I took my burrito and left. His birthday is next week. Should be interesting.
