Apr. 23 – Finally Connected to the Rest of the World
Our house FINALLY got internet just 2 days ago! I’ve been downloading stuff like mad and listening to Canadian music/radio as much as I can. From now on, I’ll try my best to keep updates to the blog consistent ;) It just happened that the 2 or 3 weeks that I didn’t have internet also happened to be the most eventful for me.
I went to a party on Thursday at the Casablanca club, which was the best party I’ve been to since I’ve gotten here! I had just about given up on having an awesome time at a party here. Before entering, I said to myself that if there wasn’t good music in the first hour, I would simply give up and go home. Maybe it was that my standards for music have gotten lower, or that I had 2 vodka red bulls as soon as I got in, but I had so much fun! The “DJ” was still just using the volume buttons instead of actually mixing the songs, but I tried my best to ignore that this time. I was practically dancing non-stop from when we got there at 12am until when we left at 4am. The best part about the night was that it was half exchange students in there and it was like partying with 50 of your best friends. I also tried vodka black, which is black vodka with apple juice. I’d never even heard of black vodka before, but it wasn’t bad – tasted like black cherries.
Cora and I went to bed at 4:30am. I woke up at 7am to go to an 8am economics class on Friday. I never would have thought of myself as the type of person to go to a) an economics class, b) a class on Friday, c) any 8am class, and ESPECIALLY NOT d) all of the above. Basically, I don’t have much choice in classes here and I just need a few more hours. Fortunately, this class only runs every other week.
After my class, Cora, Henrik, Erin, Sebastien, Jenny, & I went to the Saentis Mountain. It’s the highest mountain in this area (2500m or so) and you can take a cable car to the top. I can see it from my house and now it’s kind of cool to be able to say that I was at the top. It was the perfect day to go – our only day of sun all week. It was a pretty nice trip, although I was incredibly tired. From the top, you can see the Alps to the south.
I have to say though, that the view of the Alps is much nicer when you are snowboarding in the middle of the Alps than when you’re seeing it from an artificially created station at the top of a mountain to the north of the Alps. It’s just not the same when you are actually paying just for the view, as opposed to when you get the view as a bonus to snowboarding. It feels a little too touristy to me, but I guess that can’t really be helped while I’m here. Being around all the snow and mountains there also made me really want to snowboard. Luckily, I’m planning on going to Engelberg-Titlis with Alex and Jordan on Tuesday! As for the rest of the week, there’s a dinner tonight, a Bad Taste club night on Wednesday, which I think will be really fun, and another party at the Casablanca on Saturday! Yay for pre-drinking and Happy Hour!
