When we got there, the party was already in full swing. They had a bar in a separate room in the house and roommate and I walked right over to it as soon as we saw it. And man, did they have cheap drinks So we were like "yeah let's have a few." Of course at that point we weren't thinking about how we were going to get back to our dorm.
After two whiskey sours and two screw drivers, I was gone. I didn't realize that I was drunk until I hit my head on (the hard part of the couch) and felt absolutely no pain. One of my friends was trying to take my money away so I couldn't buy any more to drink. Not that it would have mattered anyway, as I was sneaking sips from other people' s drinks by then.
An hour later, I was completely drunk, and we made a group decision to leave the party. One problem, though, no one knew how to get home, so I drunkenly said" I know how to get home. Thanks for the great party!"
Of course, no one offered to walk us back. I guess they though that 8 girls, including 2 who were completely trashed, would be fine walking alone back to campus. And I guess they believed my drunken rambling, who knows.
Luckily, I have a pretty good sense of direction and we walked the 4 to 6 blocks back to campus. My roommate and I couldn't walk that well so the walk seemed to take forever. Once we got back to campus, however, we met up with this guy who was going to take us to another frat party just off campus (across the street from campus, actually). I was all pumped to go but--first things first---all of us had to pee.
So we stopped in a nearby dorm. One of my friends went in first and ended up overflowing the toilet (the funny thing is that she was stone sober). My drunk roommate and I then decided that we had to really pee and that we would just go back to our dorm.
So the two of us wandered back to our dorm, making a short stop at the emergency
phone to call a friend and tell hex that we were drunk. After that, we managed to get back to our dorm, without any problems.

The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It doesn't help that building a big, powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert themselves. Egypt's leadership in the Arab world was cemented by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey's bid for First World status includes the giant Ataturk Dam.
But big dams tend not to work as intended. The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left—all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.
And yet, the myth of controlling the waters persists. This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the stoops in their contention over a dam on the Danube. The huge complex will probably have all the usual problems of big dams. But Slovakia is bidding for independence from the Gzechs, and now needs a dam to prove itself.
Meanwhile, in India, the World Bank has given the go-ahead to the even more wrong-headed Narmada Dam. And the bank has done this even though its advisors say the dam will cause hardship for the powerless and environmental destruction. The benefits are for the powerful, but they are far from guaranteed.
Proper, scientific study of the impacts of dams and of the cost and benefits of controlling water can help to resolve these conflicts, Hydroelectric power and flood control and irrigation are possible without building monster dams. But when you are dealing with myths, it is hard to be either proper, or scientific. It is time that the world learned the lessons of Aswan. You don't need a dam to be saved.
