Presidents Dinner and Dance

October 21st, 2006

At the end of the year, John Flynn College has a Presidents dinner and dance (PDD) combined with the Valedictory dinner. It is the formal event of the year, everybody gets all dressed up in suits and ties and dresses. All the girls were more dressed up than they were at Lawrenceville’s prom – everyone had their hair done and there was an even split between long and short dresses. But it was a pretty fun night.

We took a bus to the Townsville Museum, and had drinks on the water over looking the marina. Then we went inside for speeches, awards and dinner. Our favorite aussie, made a great speech done by the a,b,c’s of Flynn. He had a nice spread of all the international students on there so it was really cute. Then the president gave a speech and recognized all the Valedicts.

The dinner was amazing! We had an entre (which is an appetizer) of either beef or chicken, then dinner was either beef or duck. I got the beef and it was THE best fillet I have had in a long time.

After dinner, the student exec gave out funny awards for all the jokes of the year. I didn’t get half of them but, the ones I did were pretty funny.

Then we just danced for the rest of the night, and then went to our usual bar, Flynns, which was across the street.
