School seems to go by really quick here, it may be that the teacher will stop mid-lecture and tell everyone to go get some coffee or maybe is just because what they are talking about is relevant to what I want to hear.  Either way class flew by today.  After, I went to the store to get the rest of my supplies for cooking dinner.  I ended up making a really good chicken stir fry and it was Bomb.  Between Parker, Matt, and myself we almost finished all of it.  I didn’t want to go out so I just stayed in and watched some recaps of the Super bowl.   After that I decided to turn in after reading for a while.  Tuesdays are always my fun days.  I only have one class and it is at 1 so I have plenty of time to do stuff in the morning and the afternoon.  So I decided to make some good eggs, espresso, and toast.  I love just relaxing eating and reading for a good 3 hours in the morning.  There is something about getting a good breakfast that sets the rest of my day up for success.  Class flew by today, and I was on a mission after class.  It was time that we bring Beer Pong to Amsterdam.  Solo cups are absolutely impossible to find out here.  So we went with the closest substitute that I could find.  They are these clear plastic cups that are a tad smaller but get the job done.  It was so fun to finally play some beer pong, and I found this super strong beer they sell here, and it kind of tastes like an IPA (which I miss like crazy).  So we played beer pong upstairs and let’s just say Pena would be proud (4-1) and that is after 2 weeks of not playing.  After just hanging out up there and chilln we were going to go and get out tickets for a trip this Saturday for the welcome group.  We had to go to a pick them up at this party at a bar.   So I was walking down the stairs in my apt, which was a bad idea.  I slipped and did like a side slide down half the stair.  So now my thigh and thumb really hurt, and that happened before I even started drinking.  Oh well, that’s what happens I guess.  So after that, we went to get the tickets and they were sold out! So we went to the grass hopper and hung out, but we were determined to get to the metro before it closed at 12:30 so we would not have to take a taxi back.  After a McFlurry run, we made it on time and came home.  Too bad I hurt the leg that I sleep on, oh well, nothing some Tylenol won’t help out.  After waking up this morning I definitely needed to take some Tylenol.  All in all it was yet another crazy night in Amsterdam.
