I came home from school and took a shower and got ready for the dance. I curled my hair and waited for the time to pass...
We decided to take the train up to the U so we left around 5:30. We had a lot of fun on the ride there. Emery brought her nail polish and painted her toes. That was quite the funny time :) It took all three of us to help complete the task, but the results were worth the struggle.
So freaking great. :)
Just waiting for the train :)
Getting Elise to take a picture without making some sort of face is nearly impossible.
We talked and laughed and reminisced on the past years of High School. We took a lot of silly pictures and tried to contain our excitement for the dance!
Again with the faces...
All of our class rings!
When we got there we walked across the giant parking lot over to the stadium. We went up the elevator and waited at the top of the tower until it was time to go in. There were quite a few people there already and we had some super legit awkward conversations with people we kind of know but not really. It was most excellent! We enjoyed the view of basically the whole valley and watched the sun being to set. :)
Finally it was time to go in and we were greeted by some very nice waiters and beautifully set tables. It was like being on a cruise only not as great. hahahaha.
Our cute table :)
Some girls came and sat with us and we made some more awkward conversation.... I really wish I had more senior friends.... But it was still nice! The food was delish and we were all so flippin hungry! After we finished eating we took a trip to the bathroom to take some more pictures :)
I finally got Elise to smile!

Eventually it was time for us to go outside and wait until the tables were put away so that we could have our dance!
We went and sat in the seats overlooking the whole stadium. I looked out at the campus and I had this heart-wrenching feeling that I needed to be at the U this fall...I love it there. I've been there quite a few times for various band events. I had flashbacks of doing pregame in the blizzard and being in the stands with the Marching Utes. I thought of Corps Encore last summer, cheering on the Cadets as they bossed up their show. I have memories of Youth Conference and staying up until 3:30 a.m. chatting with Elise. I thought of the field house and running over to hug Caleb, Eva, and Andrew. Playing games and having clarinet sectional with people way cooler than me. I thought of doing Ute Walk and visiting the drunk tailgaters. I thought of the drumline and their total legitness. I want so badly to be a part of that...
Plus it's an excellent school with tons of options. I got accepted to go there this fall and I would absolutely love to go and live my college dream... but at the same time it's expensive and I just want to do my generals at SLCC until I can figure out what to do with my life. One day The University of Utah will be my school... I just wish I had the guts to make it sooner....
Anyway- I just have quite the emotional attachment to that place. :) So we were finally invited inside and our dance began! They had a live band consisting of people who graduated last year. They were pretty good but it was also nice when the DJ took over and we had stuff we could really jam to! :P
After a long time of dancing and walking around and taking pictures and talking to people, we decided it was time to leave. So we went to the elevator and as soon as we stepped outside we heard the train coming. Elise, Emery, and I ran for our lives to the end of the parking lot where the train was. I thought we were going to die. hahaha thankfully we made it on just in time and Emery and I had a nice chat on the way home.
Tired smiles :)
All in all it was a pretty great dance. I didn't have as much fun as I thought I would but looking back it was still a good time! :) I really loved being up at the U with people I'm never ever going to see again for one last party.
