My fabulous friend Emily came down from Milwaukee on Friday!! It was so great to see her again and have a few days of craziness. We went to the new Harry Potter movie...aaah happiness...such a great movie!! And did a bit of window shopping along Michigan Avenue. Then we went to a holiday party at the Embassy my school was hosting. Eh...its the typical holiday party. Lots of schmoozing and people you don't know. There was supposed to be free booze for 2 hours and they cut if off after an hour and half!! We got one stinkin drink because the lines were so long. The drinks were 10 bucks a piece so we didnt get anymore after that first drink!!! Even the soda was 5 bucks. They had a DJ so there was a bit of dancing but he played mostly techno/electronica so that was no good either. All in all, it was nice to get dressed up and have something to do for a few hours. I only knew a handful of my classmates and the rest were people from the other programs. Everbody looked nice..a few were questionably dressed but everybody seemed to be having a good time. Had the alcohol been a little cheaper we would have stayed a bit longer.
The whole night made me think about once again that I am just a humble small town girl and can't live up to the lifestyle that the city demands. The swank clothing and surroundings and cash flow just aint happening and I don't think it ever will. I'm more comfortable in nice but less expensive clothing and my life's ambition isnt necessarily to be "seen" with the pretty folk. Oh well. Me and the CanadiEn will do just fine in the North away from the cities but close enough to visit every now and then.
Em and I might end up on the same train going home so that will be cool too. And we decided that we really miss the Rock despite the scantily clad hosebeasts that hang out there. Its nice to get a beer, or in my case whiseky, for cheap and not pay 25 dollar cover charges. So we're thinking we're going to whoop it up when we get home.
Its so weird being able to relax and not think about classes and reading and papers. I'm ready to go home and see my family and friends too. I didn't realize how lonely it gets here until Emily was here and we went out and did stuff instead of just sitting here.
Well I'm off for more...well nothing really....just going to sit here and doing...nothing!!!
