Mood: party time!
Topic: My Party Scene
On Saturday afternoon I went to the movies with Julien and Alexandre to see "Trouble Jeu" or "Hide and Seek" (with Robert De Niro, Elizabeth Shue, and Dakota Fanning) its cool that I'm here in Europe seeing a film with Elizabeth Shue and saying " hey, I know her sister, she went to school with me."
And then while I was surfing the internet, I randomly come across an article about Wilburs Chocoaltes of Maine. Cool, I know that guy too!
---------------------------
So Saturday night was the big Latino party!! I only know a handfull of people who didn't go, it was pretty big. I have no idea how Carlos, the person who set that whole thing up, even found the place to do it. It was some small discotec in Sart Barnard (which I don't think is even a town, it is more of a Commune of Namur, like Herstal is a sort of commune to Liege) where there is really nothing else and you can only know about it if you live in the area. People came from alllll over to Namur (there was a hord of us, really) where we all crammed into a small train headed for Sart Barnard. When we got off the train we had to follow this narrow path through the snow... under a bridge... along dimly lit sleepy roads... until we finally reached this little square ... I'm not sure what to call it. It was like a 'dance stall' made up of one big room with a bar on the side, a little bathroom in the back and a dj set up on the stage. (but everyone was up dancing on the stage anyways.) It was so great, getting out and meeting everyone! w00t! That lasted until 6 in the morning but the train didn't come until quarter past 7 (even though everyone was rushed out because someone said a train was supposed to pas a 6:05) That left us standing in the cold for an hour and a half in the wee hours of the morning... I wasn't too impressed with that. Met up with Jorja, a girl who lives right next to me, literally, and took the train back with her. Grabed a quick bite to eat at Quick (Belgium's McD's)
**Why? because it was closer than McD's and I was cold. lol! ;)**
Got home around noon. Ate lunch, then went to sleep until 6. Luckily for me, today is a 'cong?' at my school which is like a teachers day and I didn't have to go to school. I slept through 'till 11 and voil?; thats that.
----------------------------
So when I got home, my host mom informed me that Dimitri (my club counselor) had stopped by Saturday night and talked with her. I was all worried about that for all of 10 minutes until she told me that he just wanted to let me know that Rotary is going to pay half of the 750 Euros for the end of the year Euro Tour and they have already reserved my place on the first bus!!!! Ahhhh! Cooooool! omg 15 days straight on a bus around europe for half the price!!! (maybe that doesn't sound too appealing, but honestly, this is the best thing that has happend to me!!!) I CAN'T WAIT!!

well I'll get headed since my host sister needs the puter.
