Thursday we got together to play Ultimate Frisbee...we were the only beginner team and we signed ourselves up for a UF tournament against some pretty fierce competition! Despite the odds we won 2 out of 6 games, played til midnight and had a good time. As you all know, "sporty" is not a word anyone would use when describing me so I was happy my teammates were so forgiving of my utter lack of anything resembling talent at running/catching/throwing/sports in general. Thanks, guys! :) I had a really fun time playing though...it's very intense and good natured and if I were good at sports I would like playing, but I always feel like the weakest link so I get discouraged...I suppose I am content in my role as a house pet.
Friday we went shopping for costumes for Saturday's Halloween party! Well first I had some class drama (getting up early only to discover there was no class...dumb) but then off to shopping. That night we went to a free theatre show...it was very good and good practice for my French (though a bit confusing sometimes). It was such a typically French plotline...anyway. Afterwards they had some cake (yum!) and hors d'oeuvres which we were happy to eat. we migrated to Marina's flat, met some more people, went to another party where we met more foreign students...then voila! we stayed out so late we ended up spending the night at Andrea's (i'm so jealous she has an apartment in centre ville!)
Saturday had a bit of a late start..so many things to be done before the party! Cassandra, Gillian and I made popcorn balls for the party...funny though since they had bought pink and white marshmallows our popcorn balls were a bit...pink. But tasted fine!
Cassandra and I went to the party location to help decorate...stuck around for about 3 hours doing all that...then headed to Laura's at 6 to be girly and do make up and get dressed, then headed to Peter's to meet everyone and get ready to go to the party!
We were quite a varied bunch-I was a Greek goddess (really I just wanted an excuse to wear this fabulous gold dress). We had leopards, pirates, the Joker, and Jurgen was awesome in his Scottish hat.
so then on to the party! it was really fun...we danced and danced and everyone's costumes were so funny. I'm glad everyone got so into it. plus igga made the playlist so we got to dance to some good music! at midnght it was officially Laura's 21st bday so of course we had to keep celebrating.
with my lovely Germans :)
anyway, long story short, ended up fete-ing until 6 am, then slept most of sunday until it was time to go out for our lovely Laura's birthday dinner. We were a pretty big group...around 20 or so! I told Laura she needs to have less friends and this wouldn't happen hehe. We had Chinese food which was very nice. I wore my hot pink tights for the first time and ended up getting a run in them. Dangit.
Today was normal...just school and needing to go grocery shopping. But then I ate pound cake and ruined my dinner. Hmm...
A greek Goddess :-)
