friday was truly a very odd leap-year day that made me realize why february 29th is NOT supposed to exist.
the day was strange from the start, i had a text in the morning and had to give a presentation in another class. i exchanged phone numbers with a kid in my class and we decided that we'd all hang out at night and go out somewhere. after having dinner with caroline and abbie, the kid from my class came over with another guy. they are from ecuador and panama but go to school in missouri and are here for one semester like me. they brought 3 bottles of wine, to add to the bottles of wine and champagne that me and the girls had already started on. we all hung out in my dorm room for a while, drinking talking etc etc whatever. we decided to go out to some bar and started walking towards the town, but before we even made it off campus abbie was too drunk to walk any further. i don't remember much of the night, apparently xavier had to carry abbie back and me and caroline got caught up in some group of french kids walking around. me and caroline eventually made it back to our rooms safe and sound, but saturday i woke up and my wallet and french cell-phone were both missing... lost? stolen? who knows. we went out looking where we were the night before but couldn't find anything. both me and abbie's wallets were gone. i called and cancelled my credit card and atm card, however a few hours later some man came and knocked on my door with my wallet and phone! i couldn't understand everything he said because he spoke fast french and was still half drunk, but he must have been an angel. my money was gone, about 40 euros, but everything else was there- INCLUDING MY PASSPORT. yea i almost lost my passport, god knows what i would have done if he hadn't brought it to me. unfortunately, i still have to wait for my new cards since i already cancelled them, so now i need my mom to wire me money on monday/tuesday because i have nothing until i get my new cards. but oh well, at least i have my wallet back. abbie's hasn't shown up yet...
so yea, friday was crazy. i'm still recovering, and i don't plan on drinking anymore wine for awhile...
but otherwise, i've noticed small thing that make me feel good. like how i was talking to my dad about existentialism and the movie "i heart huckabees" on the phone, then later when i talked to dennis he was watching "i heart huckabees" with his mom. and i was thinking about "the east side restaurant" in new britain and how funny it was last year when i brought dennis there for lunch and he met my entire family in a most bizarre situation, then today i just looked at sam mckinniss' blog and he had a whole entry about going to the very same east side restaurant. just little things that are weird/funny.
ok well france is france. it's march now! cool yay im hungry bye
