Mar. 26 - Lesson of the day: don’t chase coffee with alcohol.
Yesterday, I went out with Till and his friend Mike. We did some walking during the day and saw a terrible new Bill Murray film about underwater exploration and existentialism. At night, we went to “the room,” this hip café/lounge. I had a coffee, because I wanted something to warm up with and because they gave you to chance to add flavours to your coffee, which is unusual in Europe. Of course, I had hazelnut and it reminded me of all the vanilla-hazelnut lattes that I drank at Second Cup. I think those are pretty high up on the list of things that I miss most from Toronto. I tried to drink as many as I could before I left hahah!
Karston also came for drinks, but left early because he had to wake up early the next day. The three of us stayed for another hour or two. I ordered a mojito. This was a very good drink, but a very bad decision. I should have known. I learned in bartending school that sugar is what gives you headaches and hangovers. I had just had caffeine, syrup, and sugar in my coffee. Mojitos have added sugar in them as a part of the drink. It was the most restless night I’ve had ever since I was jet lagged, and I wasn’t even buzzed. I couldn’t sleep AND I had a bad headache. If you ever find yourself in this situation, DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL IMMEDIATELY AFTER COFFEE!
I spent $13 on a Marie Claire UK magazine. What can I say; I was desperate for English reading material and pretty pictures. They don’t go by converting the recommended price in Euros here; they just set their own super-high prices. A few days later, I spent $10 on a Harper’s Bazaar, which I have actually never read before but I really enjoyed.
I have a new roomie! Her name is Cora and she moved in yesterday. Karston stayed in my guest bedroom and left this morning. Her boyfriend, Alex, is staying until Tuesday. They’re both really nice and fun to chat with. They shared some wine with me over dinner and now I’m itchy heheh. I can take my alcohol, but I’m still allergic to it.
I’m so jealous, though, that they’re so happy together and that they can spend time with each other. I guess this is especially because Goo and I’s 4-year anniversary is tomorrow. We planned a menu together for tomorrow. We’re going to talk on the phone, cook and eat it together. Well, it’ll be my dinner and his lunch, but I think it’ll be nice and fun!
I always imagine what our reunion will be like in August and how happy it will be, but then just a few days ago I realized that maybe I will be really sad to leave Switzerland and the friends that I’ve made here *tear* hehe
