The parties NEVER stop.

Day: Tuesday
Time: After volleyball
Things to do: Apparently go out.

We bought tickets to "Illegally Bond." A party for the law school students to raise money and fundraise. I could think of no better way to raise money than throw a huge party and sell tickets to kids on campus. All I know is that this would never happen on SLU campus. It is almost taboo to drink (from the viewpoint of the Law School or SGA) let alone have these organizations selling tickets to their parties. Then again that is probably why America has huge underage drinking problem. The more taboo it is, the more kids want to feel included and participate. Anyways... off my soap and back to the party.

The buses were suppose to leave around quarter to 8 for the law party, and of course none of us were ready. The guy were not back from class yet, and I hadn't even jumped in the shower yet. Around 8:15 we decided we didn't want to go and sold all of our tickets to people who were dying to go and be apart of this "illegal" fun. I think it took us all of 5 minutes to sell at least 5 tickets, and we even got all of our money back so it was beneficial for us too! So we stayed in the dorms playing games until it was a more appropriate time to go to CBD's. We even met some new friends tonight! Mallory and Mackenzie heard us playing games and came to join us. And while playing Zumie Zumie, our new friend name Greek heard us playing down the hall and came running to join. Apparently she love this game and was so excited that others knew how to play, she threw away the insecurities of a room with absolutely no one she knew, and joined us immediately. We left for CBD with some pit stops for pictures in front of the fountain that turned out all of us mid-laugh, and quite humorous.

CBD was really fun that night. We got a few tables and were talking and laughing all night long. That is when I noticed it. Stephen walking around outside, by himself, aimlessly, looking way more confused than he should have. I notice this from the table and run outside immediately in my brand new black strappy heels that were not meant for running. He had been asked to leave CBD (well not allowed in would be a better description) and was trying to go home. I open the back door and told him I would meet him inside anyways. Around 20 minutes later, I see the security guard talking to Stephen and he was being escorted out of the door. "Time to go home early I guess," is my first thought. I accompany Stephen back to the AC and start getting ready for bed myself. Then Libby calls me saying come back and it is really fun and I will be missing out if I go to bed now. Knowing very well that I hate to miss out, I make a quick phone call to Kevin to walk me back to the bar since it is around 300 meters away from campus.

When it CBD was closing, we all started to walk back. Kiley grabbed my hand and was like let's take this taxi back Marisa! Thinking to myself, 1. I am lazy. 2. I do not have to pay. 3. Quicker to campus. All signs point to yes of a taxi (even if it was only 300 meters) and I told the others I would meet them at campus and quite literally jumped into the taxi. As I am getting to know my cab-mates, I see the beautiful Bond Uni whiz by me in the taxi. Now really confused where we are going I finally ask my new friends. "Surfer's Paradise Naturally." Oh naturally, was my first thought too. So off to Melba's with Kiley and our new cab-mates, Brennan and shaggy-dog boy.

Melba's was surprisingly fun, even though I didn't want to be there. There were a ton of Bondies there, so it felt like I was there with a ton of people, even though I only went with Kiley. After taking a few laps and meeting some people I feel like I have seen 123093742458x but never met, I was so ready to go home and go to bed. I still had class at nine am, and the time was slowly reaching 2 am. After trying to find Kiley and others, we finally grabbed a taxi back and I finally was able to rest my eyes and get some shut-eye before my nine am.

Thursday night after an intense volleyball day, Libby and I run and get our Don wristbands before the long line so we do not need to wait in line when 10 o'clock rolled around. We get ready to go and the guys get very antsy waiting impatiently for us. We head to Don's where there are too many people as usual as we try and snag a table. There is a man that has to be AT LEAST 45. We quickly name him the professor and as strolls over to talk to us. He claims to be 28 and has to be the most awkward person I have ever met. Pulling the dancing by himself, trying to talk, and look cool all at once moment, I feel uncomfortable in his presence. Slowly we excuse ourselves and head outside to the guys.

While outside we spot from a distance Allie's friend, crazy Aussie from East. He is the one that tried to get his driver to drive us home instead of waiting for the bus like everyone else. Allie is mortified he is there as we all die with laughter as he strolls up to her to try and talk again. It was hilarious to watch and even better that we were snapping pictures as all of this was occurring.

On the other side of things the guys decided to make up their own frat, Beta Rho Omega Sigma, BROS as they call themselves with the symbol of hang loose. I didn't want to be the one to tell them a Rho is actually a P and their symbol looks like BPΩΣ. I mean I am not one to judge. It was all in good fun. After Don's a lot of people went to East, but being so exhausted from the intense school week I had, I had to go to bed early and finally get a good night sleep. After all, Pub Crawl was tomorrow and going to a disaster of a day starting well before 2:30 pm.
