You know, where they recognize all of the awards and scholarships and whatnot. I had to dress formal and if you even sort of associate with me, you can pretty much see how I don't really do the "fancy" look. I go for comfort and wearing high heels for several hours is not exactly what I would call pleasant. Anyway, so yes, I did dress up and it wasn't entirely a nightmare. I think the best part about it all was when it was over and we got home, though. My sister told me -and I quote- "When you were standing up there with all of your friends, you looked like an Eskimo compared to them."

Thank you, sister dearest, for reminding me how pale I am.

My parents also took some blurry pictures of me and I look like a doofus. Just thought I'd share.
