Get Out Of Jail Free

Busy, busy, busy.
Tired, tired, tired.
Homesick, homesick, homesick.
That’s pretty much me right now. Anyways, life’s been pretty crazy and a lot has happened lately…so here goes…

Last Thursday was an interesting one. A group of us ended up going to a party at the Erasmus house (the European exchange kids), which is what we do every Thursday night. Afterward we went to a club called Lush…a really dark, creepy club called Lush. On the way home. Alex and I rode with a friend, Hassim. We were at a stop light when a cop came up to the car and asked him to take an alcohol test, which he failed. Anyways, the fun starts here. We had to go to a station where he had to take the test again, and then to another station so they could cite him. All he ended up getting was big fine, so it wasn’t too bad. My favorite part of the whole experience, other than being the first ones in a Cypriot jail, was when I asked two of the officers if I could use the bathroom. One of them said, “The ladies room is kind of dirty,” and handed me gloves and a bottle of bleach. Weirdo thought I was going to clean the police station bathroom….no. So I told him that I’d just use the guy’s room, and he just looked at me like I was crazy. Ahh, weirdo. Later he did buy me a Twix from the vending machine though….still a weirdo. So a guy fromm the Syrian embassy (Hassim is from Syria) came and drove us home.

Thursday night was exciting enough for me, so I decided to stay home Friday night and rest up for our weekend getaway. I went to a Chinese themed night at the school for dinner, which was okay but Chinese here is definitely different than at home. They had Chinese karaoke there too, which was pretty interesting. After we couldn’t handle it anymore we went home and played drinking games for a little, and then I went to bed.

That’s all for now…the rest will come soon (I promise)
