The Life of Diana: Bollywood Formal Hall at St. Catherine's

Orginially from Ohio, I went to the big city of New York for about 5 years (mainly for school), and now I am working towards my masters at Cambridge in England. I hope this website gives everyone a taste of what my life is like here... and if nothing else I think you will find it fun and entertaining!!

Bollywood Formal Hall at St. Catherine's

Feb 17 (this past Thursday), we had an exchange formal hall at Catz... and the theme was Bollywood... hehe silly me, I thought it meant British Hollywood or something, but nope it is the Hollywood in India... so yup we had indian food, my FAVORITE (hehe note: heavy sarcasm). But actually the food was pretty ok... except that they ran out of vegetarian entrees... not impressed with Catz!! But it was a good time!!

Wow Adam... I haven't seen you in MONTHS!!!

Tina (a really nice girl we met), Adam and Rachel preparing for the appetizers.

ohhhh check that out... the plates are here!!

I got to sit next to Dani and a really cool girl from Italy!

WOAH!!! whats going on??? we are all wearing black tops!!! Don't worry though... I was wearing a red skirt... hehe

up close encounters with Kristen hehe

Liz and Shoop... it took a loooong time to get them both to smile for the camera hehe.

Our side dish... indian rice and cauliflower with this weird coconut sauce (read as: YUCK)... the appetizer was samosas though, which was decently edible.

hehe and Adam has found a bottle of wine.

perhaps my favorite thing was the pamadams (hehe spelling???) with mango chutney.

hurry up and pass the mango chutney Adam!!

And here is my new plate complete with the mango chutney.

hehe Adam is concentrating so hard on scooping up some rice.

hehe so they ran out of the vegetarian main entree... so they made me something quickly in the kitchen, which translated into rice with mushrooms and tomates (hehe the rice on the right hand side)... so i had rice with vegies with a side of yellow rice hahahahahaha.

hehe so Dani gave me a brilliant idea that I should take lots of photos of Adam to make up for the fact that we have like NONE of him since he is never around.

Adam sure does know how to handle jugs... here he is holding his two jugs hahahhaha.

Ohhh nice taste Adam!! That is COACH!!!

hehe Rachel is embarassed!!

and shocked at whats going on!!

Meanwhile Dani and I are having an awesome time.

Serious conversation?? noooo most likely some boatie conversation.

ohhh now shoop is saying something very entertaining.

and Liz looks a little disturbed.

ohhhh is that ice cream??

Look how happy and excited we are!!!

until we realize that isn't really ice cream!!! It was some strange frozen dairy-ish dessert with a citrus-y flare to it... lime maybe??

awwww Rachel is disappointed too... but it actually starts to taste really good after about 3 spoonfuls.

hehe is that an insect leg in my dessert?? ohhhh noooooo its just lime peel.

Ohhhh look at everyone cutting the cheese hahaa.

Yummmmmmy.... the brie and smoked cheese was realllly nice.

Adam wants to live in a house made of cheese.

Yes the cheese has satisfied the man.

ohhhh he is going in for a bite.

And here we have it... the only photo possibly EVER of Adam's true smile... how did we get him to smile you may ask?? By getting him to talk about the boobs of this girl who was his lover over the summer... Dani said ohh she didn't have very big boobs... and Adam said oh yes she did!! I think I can judge a lot better!! And then he turned to all smiles mwaaa ha ha ha.

ohhhh still serious conversation over cheese.

Then I went to check out the other table with Churchill MCR people.

Nick are you licking Alex's ear???

awww two cute blondies ;)

Monique and Iga... looking good!!

Serena!! Can I get a photo of you with your boyfriend where you arent kissing!!!!!!!

Shoop with her after dinner sherry.

ohhh that guy looks awfully familiar... is his arm around another girl??

ohhh lets spy on Tim at the other table...

Ohhhh and zoom in on Time hehe.

Liz + 1/2 Shoop = AWESOME photo

Ohhhh Taty came to visit my table!!

hehe cute and slightly crazy photo.

my brilliant artsy photo of the evening.... ohhhh ahhhhhh

Look at Monique in her proper Indian sari!!

and there is a gathering outside of the girl's bathroom... ohhh and shoop is coming out of the w.c. !!

Ohhh and Shoop is now in the photo YAAAY. Their bathroom was so weird... it was boys and girls in one... so the girls go all the way in and walk pass the urenal wall that guys pee on in order to go in the one toilet that is in there!!! Soooooo weird!!!!
