Small World

Thursday night was my first experience at UBar (yeah, they have bars on campus here). It was a pretty fun night, and since UBar is the place to be for students on Thursday, you run into a lot of people you know. It was also free entry until 10 pm, but we left before 10 and went back...but my friends and I had the hook-up, sooo that was pretty exciting.

Last night there was a free party bus to King's Cross with free entry to The Club. After eating a delicious dinner made by our housemate (it is Abby & I's turn to make dinner tomorrow), we headed for the East Village. We met up with Abby's friend from home who is studying abroad at Wollongong and was visiting for the weekend. The weirdest thing though was running into a girl who knows where Rainier, Oregon is! For those of you who don't realize, I'm from Rainier. It has a population of about 2000...smaller than the number of students at UPS. Actually, here is what Rainier, Oregon is all about:

P.S. We don't even have a grocery store.

Anyway, the girl's grandparents live there, and she's been there multiple times. She has even been to Rainier Days, which is a carnival thing we have every summer. Basically, my mind was blown.

So after all that, we were the first ones to get on the party bus. It was actually just a bus. But anyway, we got to the club, waited in line, and then got inside only to stay a little while. We just weren't that into it. So we took a cab back.

Tonight are the Mardi Gras festivities in the city, so that's where we'll be later. Oh and to clear things up, it is Saturday here. My blog posts are on US time still, and I don't know how to change it.
