so i'm not drunk anymore.

i think I should resist erasing the last post so that I have an artifact of monica drunkenness. If you didn't read it yet, don't read it now.

a couple positive notes from last night:
I got to see a bunch of my friends.
I met a couple people in a class of mine that is full of people I don't know. One studies the history of fashion, which i think is really cool. The other lived in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, off of Danzigerstrasse and studied at HU. We bonded over our mutual pining for Dada Falafel. We reminisced over the joy of playing in Volkspark Friedrichshain. Her last name is Panzer--come on, how cool is that?
I met another girl in the History Dept. that was Oberlin '01. The funniest thing about all 3 of them? all named Sarah. I now know 6 Sarah's here. So many princesses!

lessons learned (or re-learned):
do not skip dinner before embarking on a night of drinking
do not pre-drink
do not drink more than 2 drinks in 3 hours--EVER.
do not talk about personal things with strangers while drunk.
I am not in college anymore, and I am now too old to see myself as boring just because I didn't go out one weekend.
alcohol is actually a mind-altering depressant, not just a party favor.

peace,
$.
