October 5th

I felt so much better today. First off I ate a light lunch, literally just some bread, an orange, and some carrots, and drank plenty of water. Like I said earlier I know how to nurse myself and most of the time I know how to take care of myself. I also received my care package from my mother which happened to include a winter coat, some new boats, uncle bub’s barbecue sauce, and even some shamwows. I love my mother for sending it because it was just what I needed. Well, against my better judgment, I did go to another party. Honestly it was a tough choice. I didn't want to drink, understandably, but I did want to spend time with the other international students. Paula convinced me to go when she surprised me with a thoughtful gift, Jagermeister! She had bought some at the mall, apparently there is a liquor store there, and couldn't wait to give it to me. That sold me, the gesture of Jager was too kind to refuse. The party itself was rather boring, no one knew what to do. There was some music on, but none of the songs were familiar, not even to Paula. We all decided after an hour of awkward socializing to just go to a local club, Coyote. Funny thing about Coyote, it's mascot is Wiley Coyote from the old Looney Toons show. It is also a small club that plays popular music from ten years ago mixed with three French songs that screens modern music videos and spews fog into the dance floor. What a classy time. We did have fun, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Kate skipped out, she was pretty tired, but Paula and I danced for hours with our friends. The two of us left around 2 am since we had to be up early on Saturday. What? Why would we have to be awake before eight o'clock on a lazy Saturday? One word, Honfleur.
