End of year ball

A few weeks ago my cohort and I had our end of year ball at an upscale hotel in the city. It was a good night overall, although there are definitely some aspects that could have been a little more coordinated. Dinner was 2hrs late and since it was an open bar everyone was absolutely off-their-face by 9pm. There came a certain point at which I felt my heels were extremely far away from the ground, and another point where we were meant to look under our chairs for a card and I felt the ground was getting a little too close.

It was great catching up with everyone since we've been on placement and sporadically at uni since April. People kept complementing me on my hair, and I finally figured out that most people had not seen me for 6 months, and the length of my hair is a new thing to them.
I couldn't help but trash others while I was there, maybe it was the champagne, or maybe it was just me being a judgemental bitch, but some girls were dressed for clubbing, not a ball. I mean, sure, it's the 21st century and whatever, but you can wear that sort of trash any day of the week.

On to my dress: I chose this 1950's dress from Etsy. I was unsure about peach with my colouring, but I think it worked well. I did my own makeup and I went to hairdresser that day, but unfortunately I think I could have done my hair better than she did. I need to trust my skillzzzz!

On another topic, I've been very silent here because I'm about to do my final exams to graduate, and it's sort of important. Yes, exams are more important than blogging. I finish on the 15th of November so I'm hoping I'll be back to blogging after that. I miss it.
