Morrison’s Mondays have really become popular with my group members and this time I decided to join them in going out. Really, I couldn’t justify staying home since it is so close and it would be quite easy for me to come back as late or as soon as I pleased.
Larissa, Leah and Jacque came up to the apartment for a bit and then we headed down to the bar. There was a 500 HUF cover charge, which is a little more than $2.50 and with entry you also get three free beer vouchers. I took my first ticket up to the bar and received my free beer. And as everyone reached about the halfway point of their second drink, I proudly finished my first beer ever!! I was so very proud of myself and went ahead to cash in ticket no. 2.
Now, getting back from that small victory, Jacque, Ali and I were discussing my triumph when somehow Jacque’s glass slips, falls into her lap, and then spills over. She caught it before it fell to the floor but still managed to get about half of her beer on her pants and shirts. Since there was the chance of meeting up with a classmate of hers, she got slightly anxious about looking, well, you know. So I suggest we go to the bathroom where she can try and dry off.
Moving like anyone on a mission, Jacque rushes to the bathroom and slams through the swinging salon-style doors with me on her heels. And those clever readers out there will have already detected the problem about to occur. Knowing the door is about to swing back towards me, I try to use my arm to brace it. The force of the impact then causes me beer to slosh out, and I get a nice showering too.
So then the two of us spent approximately the next ten minutes standing in the bathroom under the hand driers waiting for our cloths to dry out. I do wonder what the Hungarian’s think of us sometimes.
But after that all was fine and we went back to the party. I relinquished my third beer voucher to Larissa since there was no way I could drink that much. We then did some karaoke (Ironic, She F’ing Hates Me, and Kiss Me –I missed the last one which made me sad.) and also hung out in the room nearby that was playing tons of fifties rock with some occasional random songs thrown in (YMCA, Sugar sugar, the Macerina, Summer Loving, Twist and Shout, Let’s twist again, and so on.)
I headed back up to the room around 12:30 though in order to get some rest for my morning class and so I could call Claudia for her birthday. Sadly but luckily, she didn’t answer because right after leaving a message I got a text informing me that my phone balance is now down to 600 HUF, which concerns me because I just put 7000 on it at the beginning of the month.
