The English Department had a faculty mixer yesterday, as is traditional. As is also traditional, the faculty mixer was followed by a graduate student party. As continued to be traditional, the party threatened to degenerate into full-bore drunken debauchery; people were stripping down to their skivvies and jumping into a pool.

My girlfriend and I left the party at a quarter after eleven, drawing comments of it being damned early. And it was admittedly a bit early to leave a party.

But, well, it was quite worth it.

Traditionally, the grad party has resulted in venereal disease.

My girlfriend and I remain clean...at least as far as that goes.
