MONDAY:
You now know Eleah's and my drill for Mondays...be lazy. Which we were doing, however we were attending the "Love Boat Party" that night sponsored by Liege's Erasmus. In other words, I did not heed the advise of my mother in packing one of my dresses from home....and well.....I had to buy a dress or something "nice" to wear to this party.....GREAT?!?! So off to the mall Eleah and I go. Upon finding this wonderful dress at H&M (side note....I will probably be a walking/talking H&M add when I get home) that I have been watching since I left the States. So needless to say after trying on 4 (yes FOUR) dress, I picked the one I have wanted for a while. Okay, deed one is done, now to meet up with Heiny and Kaite to buy our tickets to: the Love Boat Party, Beer Tasting Extravaganza, and a weekend trip to Berlin. So after about an hour Erasmus and convincingly taken a lot of my money. However, I have and will make memories that I will never forget (good or bad). So meandering around town buying little things that will finish out our outfits, Eleah and I decide it was time to go home for a much needed nap. Deciding it would be easier to get ready at City Living (plus we still did not have internet) we packed up our equipment and lugged our way to our Mecca. Wasting time skyping and just being lazy, we start to enjoy our evening. To throughly describe this evening, I will explain it like a roller coaster ride. I was climbing the big hill, so sooner or later I will eventually hit a major slump. After a couple of hours, we start to get ready. You all know the drill, curling the hair, applying our goop to the face and checking ourselves out making sure there isn't anything too bad staring back at us. Once through the ordeal, we start pre-gaming downstairs. I was splitting a bottle of good red dry wine with Zsussy. Again documenting the night, we all do the signature "beginning" photos. Clumsily carrying a roommate to the boat (in high heels on coble stones - please insert applause), we finally arrive at the party. Okay, in my mind I was imagining a bigger boat like the Casino Queen in STL, but no it is more like a converted shrimp boat - strike one in my book. But still enjoying the evening, I play on.
Throughout the night, my group start to disintegrate around me - not cool. Apparently Katie was not even there for more than 30minutes (I am sure you can guess why). Eleah flitted off with a couple of guys and unbeknownst to me, Heiny lost her keys (she went in search of them without telling me). So, when I was more than ready to leave, I had no one around me. NO ONE!!! I found Eleah's shoes and coat, but no Eleah and I had no idea about the other two till later. So, needing to get out of the sardine can called a club, I sat topside on one of the "seats" available to drunks or people like me. Calling and calling people, I finally get a hold of Katie. Who now tells me at least one piece of this seriously disturbed pie. About 25minutes later I see the other two come wondering back to the boat. By this time I was a little panicked and when I finally saw them - I loosened my grip on my phone and yes you can guess what happened. My phone took a nice dive into La Muese. (PAUSE - CRY with me please) Yes I said it, my phone is gone. All I wanted to do was dive into the water; not to get my phone, but just to feel numb. I just wanted to be in the water. Through this experience I have realized that being by water when I am pissed, makes me feel better. But now I am on the river, so logically (at the time) I wanted to be in the water. Yeah, thank you Lord I did not go in.
So feeling less than stellar, our friend Reuben offers to drive Eleah and I back to City Living. Thank you Reuben!!!
Somehow I got back up to Katie's room. Then the two drunkies went out to get food and I literally balled to my mother via skype. I have to say that losing two important/expensive technologies within one month (and put the regular class stress as whip topping) why wouldn't one cry like a baby to their mother, just want to go home. I am not ashamed to say it, I felt like crap...and worse.
So feeling depressed yet again, I rally Eleah back home.
End Monday.
TUESDAY:
I bet you can guess what happened that day....I slept and slept. Then I skyped my dad to talk and help me with a major computer problem, and attempted to do Advance Operations Research homework. So the computer problem took over 4hours on skype not to fix it, thus a fried brain does not help when doing homework.
End Tuesday - very unproductive and I am very okay with that.
WEDNESDAY:
Waking up as early as one can without an alarm, I start on my homework. Only to find out that I had to be at school early and had to do the homework in a group of 4. I was doing it by myself...fml! So this homework and subsequent class will probably be extremely homework and self study intensive - WONDERFUL!
Remember that computer problem I was having, that problem is a result of my Windows Installer not working - thus I do not have the program I need for Adv OR. Again not at 100% I grovel my way to the GA office to help me with my homework. And YIKES!! was I not prepared for the math intensity of this class. But I will overcome this class!
After class I go upstairs to find the elusive IT Department that Liege has..go figure. Wasting more than a few hours of them attempting to solve my problem. I leave feeling exactly how I was on Tuesday. Crawling home to lick my proverbial wounds, I settle in for an evening at home. (Remember I still do not have a phone yet.) Watching some American TV shows, buying my ticket to Paris, and making dinner just about wraps up my evening.
End Wednesday.
THURSDAY:
OOOO goodness its German class today and I still do not have the books needed for class. I would like to give my thanks to the European Post service and Intercopy on Sart-Tilman's campus for making me look like a baby. THANK YOU!
So German class, about that....I did participate thanks to another student that let me look off of her book. But I still am not sure on the homework. And on top of that I still have last semester in that class to make up so I can get all of my ECTS credits to transfer. Yep, isn't my life easy. To top off the self-pity, Eleah tells me the other day to drop all of my hard classes so I can entertain her. If anybody knows me well enough....I am attempting to let it slide. I know it was made in jest, but my college career is not funny....yes I am a tad serious on this point...so shoot me. But at the end of the day, Life is what you make it, and I am blessed with a good Heavenly Father to give me the Life that I can handle and excel in.
So, what am I going to do today?? See if the IT department can give another shot at my PC, maybe get a cell phone, French Class, beer thingy tonight and review International Logistics for tomorrow. OOO YEH, I am living the dream! :)
