TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!

That's right, last night was the Greek Week sponsored Crow Toga Party. Crow is the athlete frat on campus, for those of you who don't go here. The night started off with Christie and me in our room having cocktails before hanging out with our boyfriends. Christie's boyfriend, Steve, was on his way to Trinity from PA, where both he and Christie live, and my boyfriend was busy making ivy crown things for our togas. It took me about 80 tries to get my toga right, but I think I finally managed to cover up my entire body in a semi-secure way. I have to thank Victoria's Secret for creating such a sturdy strapless bra that I could pin my entire toga to it in about 10 different places to make sure it wouldn't fall off. Anyway, Brent and I had been at Wal-Mart to get fabric for our togas, and we ran into a bunch of the brothers from the frat who were all getting crazy colors and patterns, so Brent decided to make a Batman toga which was very cute. Here are some pictures of us in our togas before the party!

Brent and Me:

On our way outside, a couple guys who weren't going to the party chanted "Toga! Toga! Toga!" at us as we passed which is an integral part of the college experience.

Me doing the same:

Toga party!

Brent singing along to a Johnny Cash song that the band was playing:

Brent and Me:

More togas (Colin is in this picture wearing a blue fleece jacket. Where's his toga?):

Togas again:

Kara and Me:

As you can see, the party was outside behind Crow, so Brent and I decided to walk back across campus before we froze to death.

Brent found Garner on the walk back:

We then passed the graffiti at the Hip Hop festival that Trinity is hosting:

Yes, that says "Inmigrnt Rights." I'm not even going to go there.

We saw Justin on the Long Walk and talked to him for a while, too.

Brent and Justin:

Fast forward a few hours... some IDIOT set off the fire alarm in Area... whatever area we live in, so everyone in our cluster of dorms woke up at 5:45am to the loudest fire alarm in the whole entire world. It is absolutely the most ear-piercing noise I've ever heard and I think I may have gone partially deaf from it. Anyway, that's JUST what I wanted to be doing on a Saturday morning at 5:45am....

I took a couple pictures of a big group of very annoyed non-morning people.

Out by my dorm:

By Brent's dorm:

Brent had a small cluster of people around him, including myself, because he was smart enough to bring out a box of Reese's Puffs cereal to snack on while we waited for the fire dept. I'd like to note that the fire department got there before campus safety. Interesting....

All right, that's all. Brent caught a cold from last night probably, so I have to go take care of him because boys don't know what to do with themselves.
