was lame. it was in the basement of the hyatt regency.  there were many moments when there was absolutely no music.  a student rock band played for an hour or so in the middle of the ball--they were awesome, but it wasn't appropriate for a ball with a bunch of med students and residents and doctors standing around in gowns and tuxes.  the DJ didn't start playing dancing music until midnight.  and did i mention it was in a basement?  yeah. it was still semi-nicely done, but still, a basement??

that being said, i got the chance to get all dolled up--and can i say it?--i enjoyed being seen as pretty and feminine as opposed to the usual me in jeans and t-shirts or scrubs.  and it great seeing everyone else enjoy the same.  i don't have my camera so i didn't take any photos, but my lovely sister told me that photos from my classmates have been posted on facebook. 

now, i get to teach myself a month's worth of orthopedics and rheumatology in 10 hours.  yay.
