Please stop raining....
OK when I signed up for Vancouver I didn't think it would rain this much! It has been continuous since last Saturday... all the snow has melted away and the the white campus has become a muddy, puddly dreary mess.
And here is the forecast for the next week
I would be OK with it if it was snowing at Whistler. But they are having the worst season since 1976! Its 8 degrees in the village and its RAINING on most of the mountain. Half the lifts aren't even open and they are offering half price off all food to try to get ppl to still go there. And I have a SEASON PASS!
OK enough complaining. What have I been doing for the past week? Well, I have started doing some uni work (!!) Not too much, but hey I still have to pass.
Monday went to Koerners, a pub on campus which has a weekly band competition, a guy from Mexico called Jorge got up and sang and dedicated it to all the exchange students.
Tuesday salsa again - about 100 ppl showed up and we had to start from scratch again... grr... roommate Dylan came there since they need more guys and he sucked... oh well... I think I'm getting better.
Wednesday PIT NIGHT, that's the main pub on campus. Lined up for an hour after pre-drinking session at my place. Finally got in by paying the bouncers $10 each, this is a normal practise!
Thursday went downtown for Jenna and Tash's bday (2 other exchange students) - BIG night which started with a Mexican drinking party (lots of Tequila) and ended with eating way too much 93c/slice pizza. Yes I am getting fat.
Friday the Belgians made hash cake! Yes interesting... $40 worth of weed in a $2.50 packet cake mix. Really didn't taste good. Tried a piece, probably a bit large, it definitely worked - that stuff takes about an hour to have any affect though, so glad I didn't try two
Bought some speakers off Ebay... sick of the laptop ones... $8.50 seemed like a good price and West Vancouver seemed close, I was wrong - took almost an hour and a half to get there. Speakers are good though, now I can impose my music on my housemates!
Last night a French/Aussie/Mexican party at Fairview - was again huge, until we got kicked out by the Res Advisers at 1am - why are they so tight ??? Came back here and played poker till 5am...
Tomorrow starting French lessons with Marie, and Daniel the mexican dude is coming too... offered to pay her but she refused.
Going to Whistler on Wednesday for AUSTRALIA DAY (Party starts at 9am!). Bib from UNSW bought an Aussie flag bikini and is getting excited about prancing around the snow in it. Well if its 8 degrees I guess she won't get too cold... Not going to bother bringing skis, maybe a piece of cardboard so we can go drunken tobogganing =)
OK well I have to go do washing, shopping and cleaning now. ugh. Happy Birthday mum - gift is in the mail
