Halfway Dinner..

The Halfway Dinner was held last night at Leonda by the Yarra, a very flashy, elegant venue located in Hawthorn and most surprisingly- by the Yarra?

Lan's day was as follows:
- Leave for uni at 8am
...arrive at uni at 920am (DAMN TRAFFIC!)
-Lectures til 1pm but finished early at 1230pm
-Ditch SB & co to go studying with Sivvy til 120pm
-Return to common room at 125pm
-WAS REUNITED WITH TOADIE OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!
- Went to parasitology test 2pm
- Languished on q3 and some other ones for awhile. Absolute mind blanks were being drawn.
- Finished test at 240pm, rushed home.
- Arrived home at 330pm (DAMN ROADWORKS), showered, packed dress etc.. and departed for cousin's at 405pm
- Arrived cousin's at 430pm (Damn slow trucks) and immediately got stuff done (hair, cake)
- Parents arrived to pick up at 6pm but Lan hadn't changed yet = changing in the laundry ahahas
- Left at 620pm after cousin had insisted Lan be smothered in sparkles
- Dropped by at Sheldon to let brother off (had Debutante Ball at the same time) at 640pm
- Arrived at Leonda at 702pm
- Realised nobody was there yet and waited with parents in the car for 15 minutes. Lovely.
- Went inside and caught the last of the canapes
- Caught a reflection and was distinctly reminded of that yr 10 language analysis piece "Lambs dressed as mutton" or something to that effect. Ouch.
- Sat and ate food.
- Speeches about the impact of Black Saturday. In a critical moment of realisation, Lan found that she had not fully comprehended or considered the scale of devastation those fires had wrought.
- Ate more food. Took photos. Probably offended/annoyed/befuddled some people with the no touch policy. Would have been quite a conundrum to suddenly find yourself unsure of where to put your hands.
- Stuff.
-Went home at 1147pm

Other things of mention:
- Cake is a pain but waterproof cake is a MEGA pain
- Someone (one Canavette) was ecstatic about managing to touch my shoulder. My shoulder has been lamenting its loss of innocence ever since
-Lan has been profusely apologising to her Piggle crew but they are still mightily offended she didn't bring them along =(


Twas fun taking photos of people unawares (as usual) and twas a good night.
