Night out with the team...

A nice night out with my friends/classmates...

The venue was not as nice as I expected. There would have been a nice view of the city from the island, but it was too misty/foggy. And it was freezing cold outside while we were waiting for the boat!

The food was not interesting. $57+tax+tips for this meal was totally not worth it. Good thing we didn't have to pay. But of course, this is normal pricing for this upper class place. (Somebody said that this event probably cost over a million dollars.) I'm pretty sure I'll never go there again in my life.

The interesting parts...

It was insanely difficult to find the bus that we needed to take. I think we spent at least 30min trying to find the bus stop. And after getting off, the walk was much longer than expected, because the place we were going to was in the middle of nowhere.

Someone at my table bought a bottle of wine. He ended up drinking the entire bottle by himself. And as far as I know, he'd been drinking at various places since 2pm.

Some very deep conversations tonight. About money. About life. About the purpose of life. About the end of the world. And, strangely, it came from the most unlikely people.

Chatted with some of the new students. It was kinda funny to meet these people. They were so shy and everything. I bet I was like that two years ago also. Guess I've changed quite a bit (in some ways) since then.

Heard something relating to me that sort of surprised me, but at the same time I found rather funny.

The free drink for dinner and the bottle of wine was not enough. After getting back to the city, it was bar time. This was probably the 3rd or 4th time I've gone to a bar with these ppl. For the first time, I actually did have a drink. lol

This is likely the last big event we'll be having, so I guess it was good for me to go. There will also be the formal at the end of the year, but (of course) the chances that I'll go to that is extremely low.
