Sunday Stuff

miss_ytAside from the effects of getting too little sleep last night, I've had a fairly good day. I finished a paper, did some work on sources for my thesis, wrote interview consent forms (also for the thesis), and read some class stuff. So I got a lot done.
Today I wore my blue skirt with frills and the blue stockings I recently got, pointing out said stockings to everyone at High Table. This time High Table was in the evening rather than the morning, because some High Table alumni came by for dinner. There really wasn't anything good to eat at that dinner, so I just had a hard-boiled egg and some celery. At least they had the Sunday Sundae bar.
It turns out I missed the Senior Cocktails Pumpkin Carving Party I wanted to go to. It was last night, not tonight. Tonight was Lantern Night, a ceremony in which the freshwomen and volunteers from other classes dress up in black robes and sing in the Cloisters (yes, we have cloisters, just like at a monastery). The non-frosh carry their colored class lanterns, and the frosh recieve theirs for the first time. The colors change on a four-year cycle. My class lantern color is red, which makes me happy because I really like that color. Anyway, I wasn't in at Lantern Night this time, because I didn't volunteer or buy tickets. There was a Step Sing afterwards (seniors sit on the Senior Steps outside the buildings and lead everyone else in various songs), but I decided not to go. It was too cold and I'm tired.
I think I shall work on my fanfic a bit, read more of An Assembly Such As This, and then go to bed. I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow.
