hilda's ball...!

After another long week of classes (still interesting!) it was time to attend yet another Oxford college ball...! This whole tradition of dressing up in black tie for a night of silliness amongst the grandeur of the colleges is really entertaing. It is interesting to see the difference in the balls, and to see what your money buys you as they are all at very different prices! On Saturday it was time for me to bring some friends to my college, St. Hilda's, for our ball.

We met for dinner beforehand, which was really nice before entering the craziness. The theme of the ball was an Arts Fest, so there were things like photo shoots and fashion shows (the cox of my rowing boat participated in it!) and some good music and tents set up on the grounds for dancing. Things are just much more entertaining in tuxedos and ball gowns. Here are some photos from the evening.
