What just happened.

After much anticipation for the last day of Friday classes and some worrying about the weather, the student body successfully came out this Friday to celebrate one of the best annual traditions in Washington: Georgetown Day.

It’s one thing to recap the events of the day — from stellar a capella performances to break dancing in Red Square — but the only way to give this year’s beautifully sunny Georgetown Day justice is to tell its story through the tweets of fellow Hoyas.

1. The rumble of excitement began in the night, like waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.

11. Then again, maybe it’s best to stay out of the classroom sometimes, given the circumstances.

14. Then there was some suspicious tomfoolery.

15. Sometimes there are consequences for party rocking.

16. But some had enough energy to keep the momentum going.
