Drunken Norweigian Ukelele Players

First off, I'm having a pretty interesting life.
I asked Cliff to prom last night and he said sureeee! and now I have a fabulous prom date and I couldn't be happier. But I did have to track down a bunch of forms today to fill out, so that was annoying. But so worth it :P Now I have to buy a sexy dress, damn.
Hmm, and there was Ireland! I went with Madrigals last week. The flying/traveling was so tiring... but..
Basically, I had a pretty good time in Ireland. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world, in my opinion. Everything is so GREEN and you can see for MILES in the countryside and there's this miraculous juxtaposition of earth and sea and sky and trees and grass all at once! It's so epic. It was also reminiscient of the Shire, a little. I kept expecting hobbits to jump out of their invisible hobbit holes in the hills and come out and play with the beautiful yellow flowers and dance around with the millions of sheep all around! It was so... serene.
So, we visited Killarney (3 nights), Cork (2 nights), and Dublin(3 nights). It was awesome, except for two nights, when I just felt kind of isolated. Like, I kept hanging out with the same people, and although they were cool people, it's kind of good to get to know other people and mix it up. But I got over it, and I had a really good night on the last night.
On Sunday night, we went to a classic irish band performance and it was awesome and super fun. We acted like crazy drunk people :D When we came back, it was right before bed check. I, being the curious person I am, went upstairs to investigate the source of a weird noise. A bunch of other people were in the stairwell as well, wondering what the noise was..
Finally we determined that the noise was coming from a room in the 300 hallway. We could hear loud yelling and laughing and singing and some weird instruments twanging. Kathl and Michelle and bunch of us ran up to the door, and we were like... should we knock? Kathl finally did. These crazy drunken Europeans seemed to spill out into the hallway, yelling "COME IN!!" with bright smiles. We weren't convinced, until we saw that they had ukeleles and were singing songs! We were like hell yes, we'll join you! It was sooo much fun singing with them. We sang these random Norweigian songs and then old folk tunes and stuff like Jumbalayah on the Bayoouuuu!
It was epic. I think I had more fun singing and dancing with them in those 20 or so minutes than I've had in quite a while. Our choir teacher eventually even came in, cause she was wondering why like 15 of her students were missing. She found us randomly singing with drunken ukelele playing norweigians, and then SHE joined in! It was amaaaaazing.
Ireland was cool because of moments like that.
