The International Relations Council (IRC) is holding a Winter Semiformal on December 3. Should I go? Is it worth it? It does seem like a partly official event--they sent us e-invitations, after all, and it's being held at some restaurant in Boston.
I have the sinking feeling that I'll be bored out of my mind. I have some friends among my fellow HIR compers, but I don't know if they'd go or not. And it'll be too much to hope that there won't be alcohol. Which means I'll either have to go thirsty throughout the entire event or bring my own water.
Normally I wouldn't even think about it and just stay at home, but then it's kind of important to make a minimum number of connections. I know all the people in the CSA choir and the kendo club, but almost no one in the IRC/HIR complex. Which could prove to be a disadvantage if I want to be an active participant in the magazine. I know, I'm cold and calculating, blah blah blah. -_-
Argh, so stupid. Why doesn't the IRC spend its money on something more practical? Why does it have this much money in the first place? It's ironic--many people think that Harvard has no social scene, but I think it has too much of one. Why on earth is an academic extracurricular holding social events anyhow? I join these types of clubs mainly because they aren't supposed to involve too much socializing (as compared to, say, cultural clubs like the Korean Association).
Well...at least I have a dress. If L.P. goes, I guess I could tag along with her and try not to yawn too much. >_>
I should do math homework. And that article outline. ::sighs:: Getting offline now...hopefully...
