Well what a long week it's been!
In a good way, of course; the Alexander hall honeymoon period is most definitely still in full flow. Had one of those strange nights you know you'll never forget in a lifetime the other night at the "The World's Toughest Cowboy" down at the RBC Centre in Raleigh - my friend Tom stumbled upon this website during a lazy night in a hotel room when we first arrived here, and we made a pact to go. And what an experience it was!
I'm pretty sure my vegan friend will be choking on her soy latte right about now (sorry Katie)- as I have to say it definitely wasn't the most ethical production out there. We asked a slightly more seasoned rodeo-goer how exactly they got the horses and bulls to buck so much in the stadium when they seemed so calm beforehand.
Wish I hadn't asked.
Moving swiftly on. After the show we went outside to find a cab back to campus, but in a slightly intoxicated state of pure elation decided that a more appropriate mode of transport would be the back of some guy's truck.
Turns out this is legal in the state of North Carolina?
Amazing night, topped off by some really quite dire house parties, one at which we were shuffled out of a back door having heard 'the cops are here' (doubtful- it wasn't particularly worth raiding), but being under 21 in this new place, we bought the story, dropped our cans and ran like hell. Bloody tourists, eh.
In more present news, very much enjoying the celebration of Martin Luther King Day today. Our celebrations being getting the day off classes. My personal celebration being sitting in my pyjamas with wet hair and no makeup trying to edit a shockingly bad essay on African American music to submit to Manchester by midnight. What boring people we Manchester students must seem to all the other people in Alexander! Once this essay is done, Raleigh and its one dirty over-18 club better prepare to be hit HARD.
