I need to learn to be social with people outside my safe, and completely awesome, social group that I’ve had forever, mostly due to things and other things. So when my fellow TA’s invited me to a party they all were holding to kind of get to know each other, and I had nothing going on? Well, I decided to actually go.<\/p>\n
Now, I knew a lot of things about this party weren’t going to necessarily be things I was down with. Namely, the fact that everyone would be drinking but me. I am a Teetotaler, and honestly, that’s not going to change. But I mean, it’s a bunch of English majors, getting together to relax. There’s going to be alcohol. So I was worried it wouldn’t be my thing.<\/p>\n
Luckily, my worry was unfounded. Yes, there was a ton of drinking, but I still had a wonderful time. It really helps that quite a large number of the TA’s this year are incredibly witty and funny individuals, enough so that, even with a few drinks in them, they’re still able to keep things rolling with the jokes and whatnot and barely miss a beat. It wasn’t what I was expecting, but I had a great time, much like the fun goofing off we’ve been doing in class so far.<\/p>\n
The big first of the night, though, was that I drank a shot of whiskey. Why? Fuck if I know. Peer pressure or something? I didn’t want to ruin the game everyone was playing. In any case, it was as disgusting as I figured it would be and I will never do it again! Drinking is just not my thing, man. I mean, I don’t know. I guess something is wrong with me. I think about the cost of everything that was drank that night, and it just makes me shake my head. That’s just so much money I can spend on better things, just like smoking and whatnot. Better things like pointlessly large amounts of caffeine!<\/p>\n
So, yeah. I went to a party.
