Well.
Last night was a great night out at the neighbor's party....I ended up going with one of my roommates, Carol, and we had a blast chatting with all the other invitees. It was a 30th bday party for Oskar, and his wife Christine was from the States so we had one thing in common right off the bat - we were both
"foreign!" Of course, being ousted for having a Canadian background right off the bat could only mean the evening could go downhill from there....
The evening was pretty laid back with some live music and snacks, until the tequila shots came out and of course, it was the Aussie's goal to get me shammered. A couple guys in particular, Eddie and Alex (Oskar's younger brothers from Sydney) were basically pouring extremely liberal shots of really good quality tequila (about as good as tequila can get, I guess) and it wasn't long before I was up on the dance floor, rocking out to my ipod (the live music had since finished) and some good ol' country music. One of the other people I met, Rhianna from NZ, was - get this - GOING TO CALGARY in July - which was the main reasoning behind the whole line dance and country music idea. Well, that and the tequila talking!! Of course, I was teased beyond recognition about being a ranga from Canada, but I'm told that if you are insulted by an Aussie, it's actually a term of endearment.
The rest of the night slowly switched from country to pure hip hop/club music, and both Rhianna, Christine, myself, Eddie, Carol, Alex and another guy named Ryan danced the night away. Want to know the funny part? All of them thought I was this uber crazy Canadian who could dance like none other (I was slightly tipsy so of course I thought the moves I was doing were absolutely fantastic).....I thought to myself, you should see me back home - I rarely go out and when I do, I don't normally dance up a storm!!! Funny how with a little tequila, a whole new environment and meeting new people can give them a completely different view of yourself!
At about 2am, Carol and I managed to break from the dance crew and stumble home into bed. Not without a free pedestal fan though, which I don't remember getting or carrying with me, but somehow, this morning, it was definitely in my room next to my bed. Weird.
As bad as it may sound to those reading, I actually wasn't too bad in the morning and got up at 9am to make some phone calls and skype with the fam jam back home. Now, all that's left for me to do this fine Sunday is organize my stuff for this week's classes, print off some forms for my field trips and probably head to bed early to catch up on some much needed sleep! I just wanted to update you all about the party, and give you a heads up that I probably won't post another entry until later on next week or early into the second week of classes since I'll be busy with first week activites like textbooks, lab manuals, etc etc.
I promise to post some photos of the campus and area soon - but if any of you followers are itching for something specific (news or photos or otherwise) let me know and I'll be sure to include it in the next one!
All my love,
xoxo Danielle
