Hallowe'en

After such a wonderful week it was hard to get back into the swing of studying. I hadn't exactly made it easy for myself. Although I'd taken a book with me, with the best intentions of reading on the bus, I managed to get about a third of the way through before the lecture. Better than none I suppose. I also had a 5-6 page essay to write about time management. Clearly I was demonstrating nothing of the sort since I was finishing it and printing it off just before the class. Doing this actually kept me hidden away until Thursday evening so when Hallowe'en weekend swang by I really wanted to do nothing at all!
On Friday afternoon we shopping for some fancy dress. They go all out over here. We didn't want anything too fancy though, just some wings and masks. We joined the masses heading over to a campus party in G-13. Well there was free beer, of course it was going to attract people. I put on a party dress and heels for the first time and donned my wings and mask. The mask was feathery and I kept geting feathers up my nose and in my mouth everytime I drank, spoke, breathed... There was music and dancing! 2 things I have missed muchly. Despite knowing I had an exam at 9am the next morning, I didn't care and was convinced to join people heading for maison jaune. I was wrongly under the impression that this was a bar or a club. It was not. It was somebody's house and no-one seemed to know whose. It was also a trek away. Lots of walking  in heels? Hannah and I were no so impressed. We did have Gaston walking in the middle of us though. He was enjoying looking a bit like a pimp most likely. Well until we stopped so Hannah could throw up into a bush.

Not a clue what was wrong with her - 1 beer is definitely not enough to do that. We spent a fair amount of time in this random party house running to the toilet generally pushing to the front of the queue. Definitely time to go home. The problem? Neither of us had anything more than keys and a student card with us, we didn't actually know where we were and despite having come with a big group, could I find anyone? No. I left Hannah by the door and went on a hunt. I found one person and came back to find Hannah being chatted up. The guy did not appreciate me taking Hannah away. She looked like she very much did! We went outside, asked a random guy for directions to the bus stop and went. Pierre-Edouard caught up with us. We had a half an hour walk to the bus stop. At one point I took my heels off but Sherbrooke pavements were littered in things that are not friendly to bare feet (it felt like walking on glass) so much so that heels were preferable.
We did manage to catch a bus and were back at the residences by half 12.  Not that this means I got an early night. That would be asking a bit much now wouldn't it.

The test went quite smoothly for the little sleep I'd had (I also got up early, though I did have a good breakfast as a result). In fact,  I got 91% which funnily was the class average.  We had planned a night out for that Saturday, which was the real reason we had bought masks and wings, but with Hannah not feeling good and Victoria not really liking clubs it didn't happen. Doesn't matter. I WILL have a night out eventually. I spent the rest of my extended weekend (so until Tuesday) doing no work. It was wonderful. Well I did say I was totally unmotivated. I watched lots of TV instead. It was a sad moment when I realised I was fully caught up on every series I've been keeping track of. As a result it was hello Megavideo, Glee season 2? Yes please.
