Ladies Night!

This was another pretty busy week, but one of the funnest ones since I've been here. First though, I forgot to mention something that happened last week. One night all of a sudden I heard a couple of the American girls screaming bloody murder from the kitchen all the way down the hall in the other wing. I ran down there right away to figure out what happened, and I guess they had left the window open, and all of a sudden a BAT flew in (because they don't have screens here). Bahahaha! I wish I could have been there for that, but I'm sure I would have been screaming right along with them.

Nothing was stolen from me this week, but Noelle's block of butter was cut right in half, and not even down the side with the measurements. "They're always stealing people," according to Marius, one of the Germans on my floor. We couldn't help but laugh for a minute before we explained what he should have said.

A couple nights ago we watched Up in my room (in English). It was very cute, but not at all what I expected. And right before that, one of the ladies downstairs made crepes for everyone, and I had just been saying how much I wanted crepes, so it was perfect!

I should also mention of course, that I'm officially going to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day!!!! I'm so excited! And in two weeks I'm also headed to Greece!! :)

This week in class we were on the topic of love, so everyone from my class went up to the board to write "I love you" in their own language. It was really neat to see all of the different languages like that. We also added Spanish, French, and Italian, even though we don't have anyone in our class from those countries.

And now for the best night of the week...Mom, I should warn you now, that you will most likely not approve, but it is too funny, that I can't not write about it.

So Wednesday night was Ladies Night at this restaurant called Mexicali. (We had eaten there a few nights before, so we knew it was a cool place with delicious food.) I wasn't planning on going, but the other girls convinced me to go. The cocktails were going to be half off, and there was also going to be a male stripper. Gah!

So we got there around eight, ordered some delicious cocktails, and hung around until the stripper showed up. Me, being so smart, sat on the end, but I didn't think too much of it at the time. What a mistake that was...So as soon as the music started playing, he came out in his police officer get up, and the girls went wild... 

Not even two seconds later, he grabbed my hand and pulled me right to the center to sit on a chair!!! I'll just say I got one of the best shows of the night. Bahahahaha! He did pull out a couple other girls, so I wasn't the only one, thank goodness. I will say though, that I saw more naked body parts at the bath house in Wiesbaden than from this stripper, so hopefully that will comfort you some mom. It was easily one of the funniest things that has ever happened to me. I haven't laughed that much in who knows how long :)
