Special Needs Institute Dance

Yes, I went to the special needs institute dance last night. I had never been to one before and my roommates wanted me to meet their down syndrome friend. I went and had a blast.

I danced with a down syndrome boy and we did the same thing the whole time. It was hilarious. I tried to make conversation with him but all he would say back was "Yep!" I guess my roommates friend Cathleen, the down syndrome girl, was jealous because she had been dancing with him all night. I also country swing danced with the DJ. It was great, ha ha!

It was a formal night but I didn't dress up. There were several girls there in formal dresses. Flowers were available to wear so I took one home. They were made of plastic but I thought it would be fun to take it for a memory of the great experience. It was definitely worth going to.
