This would make my mother proud

Last weekend was too much fun and quite random, as nothing went as planned. Not to mention, like most weekends here in Athens, it started on Thursday night. I was supposed to go a movie on Thursday night with some of my housemates, but we had some time to kill so when a friend stopped by and said he was going to Tony's (a bar) one housemate and I went along. The plan was to have just one drink, but Tony's has a minimum of $10 (without tip) if you pay with a credit/debit card... so you thinking great buy a drink for your friend and it will be taken care of...not when beer cost $1 and well drinks are $2. Even if you're paying for someone else it comes down to about 4 beers each (due to tax). Anywho- there was no going to a movie that night.

Friday was a little rough since I have a 9am class- but more so because of the lack of sleep rather than the drinking. For my first act as President I tried to get the first year and 2nd year students together for Happy hour. I decided to get here just a bit early, to be safe, and ended waiting for a 1/2 hour before anyone showed- but it went quite well and everyone is interested in doing it again. Then a couple hours later I went out with some of our neighbors and a housemate- well the neighbors were all dressed up. Something that is VERY rare in Athens. Ladies do not normally do this when going out on a Friday night. Their idea of looking nice in Athens is a t-shirt and jean skirt. So my housemate and I go back home so that we can dress up too (aka. wear what I would normally wear on a Friday night back home). My heels were way cute- but dangerous. Once my heel got stuck in the brick road and I had to actually take the shoe off and put quite violently to get out. Then on my walk home my shoe slipped on the bricks and fell to one knee- in the middle of the road! After that a couple of us went to someone's house were I had to hear some arrogant PITT fan tell me how over rated Louisville is- to which I rightly predicted that we would beat Miami and that Michigan State would beat his team.

Saturday was lovely. Louisville beat Miami!!!!... I need to find someone new to watch sports with here- my last friend graduated. My housemates and I were going to go to a house party, but ended up staying staying at home beause people came to our house. I was sitting on the front stoop, talking to random people, met some guy who tried to kiss me after like 5 minutes- to which I even said to him, "Who kisses someone that quickly?" Sad thing is, that I hung out with him for a couple of hours and don't remember his name. He didn't live here anyway....I think.
