Hi all!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m checking in with you guys after taking a spontaneous study break this evening.\u00a0 This weekend was supposed to be work, work, work, because I have a couple of short papers to turn in this week, and a lot of reading to take care of.\u00a0 However, tonight is also the night that Currier House is hosting their Millennium Dance, so I decided to head across the street to check it out.<\/p>\n

The upperclassmen houses here at Harvard are a lot more then student residences.\u00a0 Each house also functions as social space for the undergraduate student body.\u00a0 Most houses will host a couple of parties a year, and typically these parties will have a special theme.\u00a0 Decade dances seem to particularly popular here on campus.\u00a0 Every year, there are three dances held in three of the twelve houses in honor of the most recent decades.\u00a0 Leverett House on the River throws the 80\u2019s Dance, Pforzheimer House (my house in the Quad) hosts the 90\u2019s Dance, and Currier (also in Quad) is home to the Millennium Dance, in honor of the 2000\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Since the Millennium Dance is in such a convenient location, my friends and I decided to take a short break from our work to burn off some steam on the dance floor.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t want to get too distracted from our work, so we decided to head over to the dance in Currier as soon as it opened at 10:00 pm.<\/p>\n

I had a great time letting loose with my girl friends and dancing around to the music of our youth.\u00a0 Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC, and several other performing artist\u2019s from our younger years were all featured on the DJ\u2019s playlist.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m back in the Pfoho Library and ready to power through a few more chapters of Ralph Ellison\u2019s\u00a0Invisible Man<\/em>\u00a0for my History and Literature tutorial on Monday.\u00a0 I never take the undergraduate housing system for granted because it affords me with fun and random opportunities like attending the Millennium Dance tonight.<\/p>\n

Until next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
