A Night Out In Annapolis...

Nothing beats waking up without an alarm, followed by a relaxed two hour brunch. Yesterday was the first brunch of the semester and it was a great time to chat and unwind after the first week of classes. 

Leaving the dining hall at 1:30pm, I headed back to Worcester to continue with some reading for 'The History of U.S. to 1865'. Having been so engrossed in the difficulties befalling the Puritans of Massachusetts, I had forgotten that the dining hall closes at 6:00pm at weekends. Instead, me and Addison went downstairs for a couple of subs, where I met some more of his friends in the lounge and answered a few more questions on queen and country. From there, we went over to the stadium and caught the remainder of the first half of the women's football game. (soccer for all you non-Anglophiles). 

Yours truly, Sean, Fran, Sam (the birthday boy) & Dale
At 9:00pm those of us who were yet to depart for Annapolis met outside the CAC and left to join the others for Sam's 21st. With the naval academy in the town the streets were not short on officers dressed in their whites on a night out. - Lots of officers, not sure how many gentlemen. Arriving at the bar, I can't say that I've ever listened to heavy rock, pop and country merged into one playlist before, but it work. 

Sean was good enough to drive those of some of us back to campus, a task that became all the more laborious when we discovered that we had Sam's car keys as we were approaching Chestertown, and he had to make the two hour round trip all over again. - Sorry Sean :/

After being rebuked for doing retrospective posts, there will be another this evening to keep my mother happy :)
