Good old Viennese School

Friday was my school’s ball. It was lovely!! I looooved it! Everyone was dressed up and groomed and neat and pretty lol! Well, I didn’t take an photos. BUT: Thanks to my trusted event photographers, they took a loooooot of photos, here are only some to be shown. By the way: The location was so pretty, our annual proms are there, it is very ancient-looking indeed! Very pretty decorated, with embroidered tables, walls, stairs, etc. Anyone of you who has never been to such a ball before, won’t know what it is like! It’s magic like in Disney Land. With Waltzing, Cha-Cha-Cha-ing, Rumba, Jive, etc etc (we are indeed all sent to dance schools between the ages of 16 and 17, to our parents’ request; so we know all standard dances).

The interior. Not too much to be seen on these tiny photos, sorry. But it has beautiful moulding (stucco)!!

We are a great Viennese society, aren’t we? Haha lol  :D
from left: Julie, Jasmin, me (URGH what a face!!!), Sophie, Verena, Kathi (in the background), Marie! Gosh what did they do with that photo? Julie and mine faces look super small lol :D  

Haha I HAD the shortest dress and the highest heels (around 9cm) thus I probably looked the most attention-whoring haha!! I knew it! So …this is the reason why I am one of the tallest in the pic. I like Jasmin’s outfit. She looks like some druggie with red lipstick and a great pair of braces (=suspenders for all american guys), which is never a bad combination! (I truly am honest and I like it)

Ohh I rather fancied this guy. WE NEED MORE GUYS WITH HATS! I LOOOOVE THEM!

(face hidden for his own safety – from ME!!! :) )

We stayed at the actual ball for around 5-6 hours starting from around 20 o’clock until 2 am when the ball ended and the afterball-party was there for us!! So we had a lot of fun, I have to admit, drinking champagne and sparkling wine and sparkling wine with strawberry juice and sparkling wine with orange juice and vodka with strawberry juice. And wodka. And some Tequila and Rum, maybe. :) BUUUUT the afterball-party. WHHEEW it was looovely!!

SUCH A STRANGE TEACHER (leeeeft!), Stefanie, me, Lisa. (+ the beer!)

That teacher again (she makes her own pullovers, and I guess ball gowns too!)

So it was in another part of the town and we considered taking a taxi, but since we were already a little tipsy we felt it would be fun going there on our heels. It was NOT. I took them off once I was outside, wearing my Mary-Jane ballet flats instead. At the beginning it was boring on that location, but then a guy from my school which I had barely ever talked to gave me a beer as a gift. And it was fucking expensive for a beer (well, alomst anything is overpriced here anway). It was a Heineken (they always sell epensive brands, these bastards!). It was a fucking 3,60€ which is around 4,50$ for a LITTLE bottle. Excuse me, for a 0,5l one, OKAY! But for a 0,25l!! What a fucking joke!! Lovely to get it for free anyway :D
So we then proceeded to dance, do the limbo, macarena, bolognese (shown in the photos above), dancing on tables, watching the drunk teachers, playing dart, playing table soccer in the corner, being drunk, getting drunk, smoking and joking until………..5:30 am. It was hilarious, by the time I took the tram and bus home (It was the first bus to my suburb part of the town in the morning, and maybe the 6th tram of the morning, which is kind of SAD ;) ) me and Lisa (who lives in my part of town too) alternately fell asleep. We were SO tired…!! Well.. Anyway…

I had a great day, but now it’s Monday and I need to get my ass up and learn French for Wednesday because I haven’t really learnt anything really. Mmh.. Take care! Oh, I forgot to say: It was FREEZING cold. Minus grades (celsius). ENOUGHSAID.
