Long time no see!

Hey guys!
Okay it's offical I'm bad at the blogging consistsancy, but in my defence I was out of the country without internet access for the past week. It was reading week! So I was off to Cuba for drunken debauchery and lots and lots of sun. 
I mean look at this!! It's literally picture perfect and I wished I could've stared at it forever. So yes yes it was great I love Cuba I want to go back over and over again. 
What can I say about Cuba? Free alcohol, crappy food, great beaches, sub par rooms in the hotel, beautifully friendly people. 

It was so great to get away for reading week after my incredibly stressful week of midterms and essays but once it was all said and done my only concern was my plane being on time and what drink I was going to have first. 

So out of my exhaustion where I was awake for 36 hours after flight delays and just travel craziness my brain has yet to recover. Didn't stop me from writing a brutal midterm this morning and doing an interesting presentation on William Blake. Thank god for late class tomorrow and a much needed gym session.
So I've also decided to go vegetarian for the foreseeable future in my healthy life styler changes. 

Well I'm headed for a nap! Have a great day lovely people, talk to you soon! 
Love, Kate

Almost midterms!

Hello all!
How are all you lovely people this fine Sunday afternoon? Personally I'm procrastinating on writing an essay, but what would college be without staying up until nearly 3 am writing a sub par essay because you've just given up on caring? My favourite is the digression of a college essay, beginning is strong and completely awesome, and as the redbull kicks in it slowly gets worse and worse until you type your closing sentence, read it over and go "well it's done..". Something I've learned to do well since the beginning of university. I haven't really helped myself either. Going out twice this weekend when I should be studying and writing my two essays all due Wednesday. 

My weekend started Friday night by going to the second last night of igloo fest! Man gonna miss this event until next year. It's a pretty cheap night if you take the STM and drink at home. And I'm all about cheap!


And I must say I felt hella cute when I went out. Even though igloofest requires ample layers of clothing, I still felt cute until the sweaters and coats! 
So here's my "I feel cute as shit" selfie. I know how badly you all wanted to see it. But last night! 

Last night, was the celebration of my favourite twins birthday! Maria and Dimitri have been great since I moved here. I got my much needed girlfriend as well as a good guy bud. One thing I miss about home is my boys, I've always had a lot of guys friends and that's something i don't have here so when we all go out it's always fun! In true Greek style we drank ouzo and went to a Greek bar.

Never thought alcohol and some Greek dancing could be so fun. Even though the dancing looks way easier than it is! I ended up taking a very expensive cab home instead of waiting for Dimitri to 
drive us, but hey now I know how much it costs to go from Avenue Du Parc back home, so life lessons, right? Still constantly impressed that two weekends in a row I've been able to get myself home strictly speakig french. It must be the alcohol. 
So! I'm quickly approaching midterms, the next 3 days are crazy busy. 2 test and 2 essays all before Wednesday. Heading to yoga tonight to relax myself before I get down to my stress. Then Friday I'm off to Cuba!! Let the count down commence!

Super Bowl weekend 2014

Hey guys!
I'm horrible I know I'm sorry. I've been so busy. I leave for Cuba in just under a week, I have an essay due tomorrow that I haven't even started. I'm so busy, and I swear I was hungover for days and days. But here I am.

Friday night I went to a 1920s party! There was swing dancing and lots of alcohol. Everyone was dressed up and it was great. I hung out with a bunch of polish people, and when they found out that yes I am polish too, they realized I could keep up with thgere drinks. I didn't have an empty hand after that. Man drunkenness to a holy different level let me tell you. 

Friday night was the second time I've ever gotten emotional because I was drunk, but thank god I didn't do that in front of anyone. My worst offence of the night was calling my best friend that lives 9 hours away at 330 am. Just to say I miss him. I could've been worse so hey, points for not being "that girl"!! 

Nothing like sitting in bed at 330 am eating McDonalds, getting mad at a boy for reasons I can't remember, crying because I was so so mad, and then calling my bestfriend "cause I miss you and just really need you right now". Man we all have a night like that right?? 

It was my friends birthday weekend, so I'll blame it on that. The weekend came to a close with a handful of friends and watching the superbowl. I met a new really funny guy and I hope we can be friends. That's one thing about Monteal is that I don't have a lot of male friends and that's something I miss.

Song of the post Bruno Mars - Treasure

Can we comment about how disappointing that game was?? I watched the entire game, and Bruno Mars was fabulous, but that was the highlight of the very boring game. What did you think of the Super Bowl? Comment below.

Oh well it's been fun guys, until next time. Good night good morning good afternoon but talk to you soon.
