Beta Alpha Psi Banquet

Every year the professional society that I'm part of has a banquet with a great dinner and casino games with raffle prices. Last night's banquet was lots of fun! I've been sick and so even though my voice started to disappear by the end of the night, I'm really glad I made it to the banquet. Several professionals come to the banquet from all over (mostly Phoenix) and the chapter awards certain students for their commitment to the chapter. It's held at this little place in Flagstaff called the Kilted Kat. It's a kind of banquet hall that's really cute and off the beaten path. Everyone dresses up in their suits and puts their dining etiquette to the test. The chapter also presents an award to an outstanding alumnus. This years award winner was actually somone I'll be going to work with. I worked with her when I did my internship of the summer and she's fantastic and definitely deserved the reward. After playing photographer for the night, I played Texas Hold 'Em long enough to triple my chips and get a handful of raffle tickets!! I even won three small gift certs in the raffle!! Yay me!! I can't help it... I'm a broke college student.

Hey good for you! Looks like fun. My baby has a diaper rash so most anything looks really great and spectacular to me at the moment. Haha. Well I would love to take some pics for you. You better let me. Call me when you get back from Thanksgiving so maybe we can hang out sometime. You know I am going to be a butt about it till something works out. Too bad, so sad.
