Worked It Out Wrong

So, once a week seems to be the new thing for me...let's hope I can keep it up!

Kinda feeling the beginning of a cold at the moment, I'm hoping to get it under control before it gets worse!

This week was pretty lax. The house party in izola was a lot of fun, and almost all the erasmus people came. Probably about 60 in total. On Monday Laura, Alison, and I had to go to Ljubljana for a lecture, which ended up getting canceled but we didn't know until we had already gotten there. Not to mention it was Laura's 21st birthday that day as well. So, when we got there (around 1pm) we went for lunch along the river, and then walked around and hit up H&M and also went to the University of Ljubljana campus right near centre. Then we bussed all the way to the social sciences campus across town thinking we had a lecture at 4. As it turned out, the man who was supposed to talk to us wasn't able to get to Ljub on time, so our normal prof just picked up where he left off on the history of the universe. Oh joy. Luckily, we lied and told him our last train came at 6:30 (which we thought it did...like not the last one, but that one was coming at 6:30), so we managed to get out at 6. After running to the bus station, we found out that there was no bus at 6:30 (aka the website LIED!)and that the next bus was not until 9:35...BALLS!

So, in honor of our extreme disappointment and also Laura's birthday,we went somewhere nice for dinner and drinks. We found a little mexican place that was SOOO GOOD and had nachos and mojitos for a couple hours and then went and got birthday ice cream. Alison and I tried our best to make it at least a somewhat good birthday for Laura; she seemed to like it. On the way back to Koper we ran into some French guys that are erasmus with us; they had to go to the embassy in Ljub to get their passports back after getting arrested two nights before...but that is another story for another time. We took the bus back with them and then they told us that a bunch of people were at Kapitana, a local coffee/ice cream/beer place very close to our apartment. So we went right from the bus stop to Kapitana to find all of our friends (scottish, spanish, french) sitting there. As soon as they saw us, they sang happy birthday to Laura and got her a piece of cake. We had no candles, so she blew out a lighter. I'm gald she got to celebrate with everyone even though we were back so late!

Wednesday was st.paddy's. We all wore green and went to a local pub which the irish girls had decorated for us. Check out my pics on facebook if you can, it was a lot of fun!! Best st.paddy's day yet!

On sunday this week I am heading to Bistrica to visit the fam until maybe wednesday, depending on school and things of the like.
