Sorry for Partying and Maybe Some School Work.. Maybe..

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, honestly just forgot/haven't had time/ been busy/ been lazy/ been lazy x1000 (: But I just finished up a ton of work and I am in a typing mood so here goes nothin!

Me + Lindon after he got back- TRASHED

I left off somewhere arounddd winning in tennis (see how I mentioned it again- not that I'm proud of it or anything or want to brag- false, I do) Well later that day the boys of Emmnanuel had their own exclusive event called Big Game Fishing Contest- BGFC for short. They all dressed up in women's clothing ... of course... and each brought entire sacks of goon [boxed wine] for themselves. Yes an entire slapping of the bag for one person and they went to an undisclosed location which the girls were not told about, or anyone for that matter- safe? debatable and probably got hazed and drank all day and did activities... needless to say they all left looking ridiculous in women's clothing at 1230. When they all stumbled back 100% drunk at 430 covered in food dye, clothes completely ruined and 100% out of control I knew it had to be a good day- It was just hilarious to watch them all stumble in and see what had become of their outfits/faces/everything. Then as per tradition they all "showered" not really though because they were all so drunk that even doing that was tough and changed into SUITS and went to dinner in the dinning hall. One person after filling up his plate full of food and got his drinks just proceeded to completely drop his tray in the middle of the hall because he was too drunk to hold it- another peed in the corner ... You could say the higher up people were NOT TOO KEEN about this and therefore the girls' equivalent called Ladies Day has been postponed. Which actually stinks because it sounds like it would be a very fun event.. and I doubt/ hope no one would get as ridiculous/ out of control than the boys... but then again.. .. (:

monday nothing too thrilling occurred that I wrote down was even memorable.. thanks 3/21/11 ?

Tuesday 3/22 however was memorable. It was another night of formal dinner except tonight- as is formal dinner tradition one wing each week gets to go early and drink with the president of the college and other high adults of the college and gets fed yummy appetizers etc. This week it was my wing! Also what the wing leaders- yogi and michelle- organized turned it into a mini dating thing- Your date was the person with the room above or below you and you were supposed to hang out with them during formal dinner and "date them". Well haha mine turns out to be Will , the American from my program who lives in my wing so I already knew him AND his girl friend has actually been here for the past two weeks visiting him so you could say it would have been awkward but no, it was actually really fun and formal dinner was quite yummy. Such a fun tradition.

Wednesday ehh- hate wednesdays my class from 5-7 BUT ville wednesdays makes up for it and this time we went to a malaysian food place, which was deliciousssssss. I got this tofu stir fry veggies thing with a mongolian barbecue sauce yum. probably my favorite place so far! and of course ice cream after well ice cream I mean gelato! so good, such a fun tradition and then after dinner around 9 the college hosted an american idol type competition called "college idol" original I know, and so we went to see the girl who was representing our college... I was not impressed having heard her sing before however she ended up winning somehow... not sure how that happened but we only stayed to cheer her on and then left but apparently she was the best of the worst. But definitely props to her for being able to get up in front of tons of people and sing!

Thursday: NIGHT 1 OF LIZ'S BIRTHDAY FEST/WEEKEND MADNESS Again with the birthdays you say? and I agree there have been so many but this one was extra special because she has become one of my good friends here and she was turning 21 and I don't have classes on fridays and! I hadn't gone out in a while so it was time to rageeee! We ended up going to the exchange that night with a couple of colleges who I cannot remember that this time who they were but we went to a place called Fridays, which was actually a quite classy place but had the best drink- which I was informed about prior to going called Red Rum. It is like a jack and coke but a different type of rum, a sweeter kind of rum and oh em gee it was delicious! very very very fun night was had by all, including the pre birthday girl who's real birthday was saturday/friday night at mid-night!

Sophie, Nhat, Nicole + Me at Fridays!

Friday: day of recovering ish plus part 2 of LIZ'S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND MADNESS! Tonight she chose to go to a very very seedy place called Down Under or referred to everyone else as Dunder... It is known to be seedy and dirty.. aka the best place to turn 21. It was a group of us about 10 and it ended up being fun, we found this platform near some tables and were dancing there all night long until the clock struck 12 when we just went crazy. Then me and sophie and two of our guy friends decided Dunder was just too seedy to handle [old men would literally just sit at the tables and stare at us dancing, like 50 year old men. ew?] so we moved on to our favorite place called the EMBASSSSSSY and drank and danced the night away (:

Saturday: My second rugby game experience! Sophie and I were invited by our fav Kiwi (New Zealander) downstairs to go to the game and cheer on the Reds as they took on the Cheetahs, very odd names I know but it was still really really fun! Minus the part where our seats were in the blazing down sun the entire time so when at the end of the 80 minutes at the end of the game we were literally covered in sweat.. but eh! Then that night we really celebrated Liz's 21st because it was her actual birthday. We started at the Friday's bar again because they gave her a deal that if she brought 20 people with her the bar would give her a free $100 bar tab! Which she then proceeded to spend on us nicely (: but once the bar tab was gone we immediately left (oops) and club hopped the night away. Did I mention that for her bday Sophie, Nhat and I made jello shots for all of us to pre-drink with? lets just say it was a very deadly night

Sunday 27: We literally all just layed around in the middle of the quad on sheets sleeping all day long. I have never seen 10 people so physically dead and exhausted and hung over at one time. it was honestly the most ridiculous thing and woah I definitely don't think I would be able to survive that again. But I mean minus when I turn 21 though, then it's definitely on (: But at 4 pm my wing had a soccer game vs another one of the wings which I participated in just to make my body move and to do something minus laying around and doing work all day. It turned out to be a really fun time, most of us just joked around and even did some dives when the ball was on the complete other side of the field just to make fun of prof soccer players. Although my team did not win 5-4 (we only stopped because everyone got super hungry at 530) it was a ton of fun, GO MEIKY! and thus another week came to an end!

WEEK 5
really? for realz?

monday: nothing. boring. picked classes for miami because drum roll:

Tuesday: scheduling day! well not till 10 pm because I had to wait till 8 am Miami time- meh so clearly all day I was extremely nervous because scheduling is always stressful, and yeah. But thank goodness 10 pm came and went and I got everything that I needed/wanted sooo yay go me! (:

Wednesday: nothing happened today really except ville wednesday! tonight we went to a place called Curry Connection and yum yum yum i got the best curry thing ever with garlic naan and yummy yoghurt sauce and yum yum ice cream after. great day and tomorrow = an exchange so it should be A GREAT WEEKEND COMING (:

miss everyone xo-
