Thursday night I went out for drinks with a new friend. Long story short, I drank too much, and felt very horrible the next day in school. Needless to say, I'm going to be taking it easy during the school week. Friday night, the Americans threw a party for our friend Lam Lam. She's from Honk Kong, but studied at Northeastern with all of us. The party was in true American collegiate style: a bucket of jungle juice, beer pong, games of flip cup, and of course a dance party. So many different people came! The party was a hit- everyone kept saying how much fun it was, and that Americans really know how to throw a great party. We came to the conclusion that yes, yes we do: BUT because we have to. Everyone else around the world can drink or go out to bars when they're 18, but we can't. In order to feel some sense of maturity, we bring the socializing to our own homes (well.. dorms, appts etc..). If we didn't- well, I think we'd be very bored and much better students. So, it was pretty fun explaining to people from Spain, France, Italy, Australia, you name it, the rules and general point of playing beer pong. It was a great night. I know I had a blast, and I hope everyone else did too.
The next night I had to take it easy. I cooked dinner for Lam, and just relaxed a lot. Then, Sunday morning the Americans decided to have an American Breakfast. It was so much fun. We cooked eggs, pancakes (they ended up just being really really thick crepes... Good in theory, a bit rubbery in actuality...), hash browns, bacon, mimosas, etc.. It was really nice to hang out with everyone and just enjoy good food and good company.
Aside from that, there isn't too much to update. I have a long break in between classes tomorrow... like.. for 6 hours.. so I'm going to try and go out and do some photography. I forgot how relaxing it is for me. Oh, speaking of which, I've uploaded new photos of my room and stuff onto Facebook- in the album "Hello France." Check it out if you want!
Ok. Over and out.
