December 21. End of the world. No classes. Well, in our case, that is.
But, we set aside the "no classes" part since some of us went to school as early as 7:30 AM. One of my Esprens, Chemaie (her nickname :D), also arrived early, and we stayed in Room 318, where our batch representative was staying. We had a little talk and stayed silent and did some doodles on the blackboard, on our notebooks and those kinds of stuff while waiting for 9:45 AM (our assembly at the school chapel for our Mass sponsorship). While we were still in 318, heavy rain poured like forever. It was dark outside and cold. But what really scared us to death was that moment when Chemaie and I were the only ones inside the room. Since there are two entrance/exit doors in the room (there are two others; one was an entrance to room 319 and the other was an entrance to the supply room for Chemistry), the other one was opened and we thought it was opened by our batch rep. Yet no one's there. We brushed the affair aside, thinking someone was pulling a prank on us. But I noticed that it was slowly closing (but not totally close) then opening, then closing, then opening. Chemaie and I were looking at each other for a brief moment and suddenly, BAM! The door slammed shut, and Chemaie and I had to run outside using the other door and went straight to the entrance of the building, then to the faculty office wherein our secretary was having her breakfast. We told her everything that happened and she told us not to mind. Things like that happen.
After a few more minutes of being scaredy cats, we decided to return to 318 and spent the remaining waiting time there. People were arriving and all. And the second years started making their mango float for the party (and had them refrigerated in the faculty room's fridge). At 9:45, we went to the chapel for our Mass at 10. And an hour later, we returned to SMED to do some preparations and to take our lunch.
In a while, we wore our costumes (since the motif is Costume Party) and at 2:30, we had our Advent talk by a IT/TA member :D And then we were given a 10-minute break to finalize our looks. And it was pretty funny since there was a commotiong in the girls' comfort room because of the hairsprays. Even the boys went in :))))) And then, the party started :)
