so after the treasure hunt, we went to the arboretum to take pictures by the fountain. very pretty area ^_^ when everyone got to the fountain, the guys passed out... corsages. and not just any corsages. they made them! so for the next half an hour or so... the place was like a photo shoot =p after pictures we had to dash off so we wouldn't miss our dinner reservations. we ate at florida's seafood and grill. good food =D *drool* seafood linguine was good. snap, crackle, and pop shrimp looked really good. (it wasn't popcorn shrimp as the name seems to suggest, it came in a skillet thing..bubbling away =D *drool*) there was some more silly picture taking. the girls missed the desert apparently during the bathroom trip... ='( splitting up the bill was crazy... took forever. sad to have missed desert, i ended up getting a chocolate baby bundit cake *drool* (at least i think that's what it's called.) and finally, off to the ball! masquerade ball was held in the texas union ballroom. we didn't get there until about 10, but that's ok... i think everyone was tired... and i'm sure all the girls' feet were hurting by the end of the waltz. after the ball was over, there was mass picture taking of random stuff, and loitering... as usual =p then everyone headed out to the after party at VIP to watch the video of the guys on the treasure hunt and a little bit of the dinner. the "reenactment" of the skits the guys weren't able to record ... didn't happen. boo. the video... you'd think guys would be good at this... but.. the first 20 mins or so is in black and white... and very very bright. so.. you'd see a bunch of white. and why? b/c they had it on night vision...oy. but they finally figured it out and fixed it... yay. after the video was done, VIP ppl carted campus ppl home. haha... for once... the 11:30 liquid service had a pretty decent attendance... and the 10:00 wasn't packed =p. i believe pastor gideon said... "we should have masquerade every saturday" hahaha ^_^

and that concludes my account of the masq ball. thanks to lucy and sharon for organizing the group and treasure hunt, jen lay-su for doing my hair (and everyone else's), braden for coming up w/ the corsage idea, the guys for actually making them, sharon for carting us around, and justin for an awesome time at the ball.
