Spontaneous epic weekend

23 march 2010

Hey,

Everyone had work off yesterday, cause basically no one with a key was coming in. So the long weekend was good. Had a pretty insane weekend actually, which involved lots of partying and very little sleep. Remember how I was planning on just having a drink on fri night then going home? Not so. Cutting a long story short, me and Vincent (from work) went for a quick drink before I was meeting Monica at the train station. When we had to meet her, it turned out that Vincent would have to wait 30 mins for his train. So he joined us for another drink and eventually we decided we should all do something instead of just going home. Vincent said a bunch of people were going out in his home town, Sint Niklaas (hope I spelt that right), and he said we could stay at his place after. So we went and it was awesome. We ended up getting to bed at about 7.30 in the morning, something I have not done in a very long time. We then proceeded to get up at 12 and go back to Antwerp. Meant to see a movie but the trains made us late.

Monica then went home and me and Vincent met up with Bert to watch the Ireland/Scotland rugby game. (along with a few other people) I intended to go home after the game but ended up staying and hanging out with people until 1ish that night. Caught the last bus home at 1.45 but only ended up getting to bed closer to 4 (its a long ride and I was hungry when I got back).

The cultural dinner turned out to be more like cultural afternoon tea. But it was pretty good - most of the group made it and its always good to hang out with them. Went to bed at 8 that night. Which was awesome. Slept in a bit then went Antwerp later that afternoon too finally see Alice in Wonderland with Monica. The movie was pretty good overall but what Tim Burton was thinking when he made Alice do that weird dance at the end I'll never know. Obviously he felt people hadn't cringed enough during the movie. Or some such.

So today I'm feeling a little sick (again!!!). This time its just a sore throat though. So I guess it could be worse. Hopefully it clears up by the wekend as the group is planning on spending the night in Brussels. Which should be good. Provided that I'm feeling healthy etc.

I'm not really in the mood for writing today, so I shall bid you fare well for now.
cheers
