Anti-Valentine's Day Girls Night

On Saturday, a group of studio girls went out for a girls night in light of Valentine's Day. In studio the Friday before we huddled together to discuss the next evening's plans but ended up all talking at once and not getting very far with the planning. Thanks to cell phones and the new age tradition of procrastination we didn't really have to worry.

We met in the Honor College dorms at 6:30; Megan, Katie, Catalina, Molly, Karolina, Ryan, and I were all dressed up for the occasion. We had decided before hand that none of us would wear pink. Catalina and Katie would drive us to the Pufferbelly, a nice restaurant downtown. Before we left pictures were taken and last minute makeup and clothing adjustments were made. We arrived to the restaurant just before 8 and were seated rather quickly. Everyone ordered beverages and we all shared bread and a delicious warm artichoke dip before the food arrived. Each dish was thoroughly enjoyed; the Pufferbelly has a delicious menu. I ordered a flavorful Parmesan crusted Tilapia with steamed broccoli -- I was not disappointed. As a treat we each delved into the dessert menu, coolly eying those brought to the table near ours. Our selections were made and when they arrived we all cooed at the generous presentations and groaned that our stomachs might not be big enough.

The whole evening was full of giggly chatter and fun. I was glad to spend an evening out with the studio girls as it was a rare occasion. Before Saturday, we had all been, for the most part, singly connected by our declared major and studio. Now, we shared one more thing and it will hopefully become a bond that we can all enjoy for the next years that we study at Kent State.
