Best Valentine's Day EVER!



So this morning I slept in (no class!) and when I woke up, there was an invitation outside our bedroom door, and all the girls' rooms, to a dinner party. We were instructed to be dressed in formal attire and ready at 5:50 for our escorts to come pick us up! So of course, since it's Valentine's Day, we were all excited to see what the guys had planned. Well, we got all dressed up (haven't done that in a while! it was fun!) and then we were escorted down to the classroom which had been set up as a dining room, complete with candles and full place settings! The boys proceeded to bring in a 3 course meal, including salad and bread, spaghetti with homemade meatsauce, and ice cream with caramel chocolate syrup! I was totally impressed! The guys all looked great in their button-up shirts and ties. Then Jeremy entertained us with a "limerick written for the girls" (the song Beautiful, by James Blunt) and then we were sent to House 9 for "Phase 2" of the evening - the entertainment portion! The common room had been transformed into an auditorium with rows of seating all facing the television. The boys messed with the tv for a minute and claimed to not be able to get it to work, so Jeremy and Zach said they would just read us a poem....but then they (nonchalantly) noted that it wasn't a good poem, so they figured we would rather listen to Joe Allen play his guitar instead.....and in walked Joe Allen and Angharad, his violinist (she's welsh)!!!!!! for those of you who dont who I'm talking about, a few weeks ago when we went to Battle of the Bands, Joe Allen is the guy who won it! And he was in our living room playing his guitar for us tonight! it was the biggest, coolest surprise ever! his music is beautiful! It was really cool because after he was done playing we all just got to hang out and talk to him like no big deal....he's gonna be famous one day, and i'll be able to tell everyone that he played a gig in our living room! The guys did a great job surprising us - i was (and still am) totally impressed. After all that excitement, we went and changed into our comfy clothes and we all watched Love Actually in the common room...and that just ended and I'm exhausted and we're leaving early in the morning for London! But I just wanted everyone to know about my best Valentine's Day ever! Well done guys!
