I love Easter Break. I have only been in school for 6 weeks, and now I get 16 days off. How great is that, honestly? I don’t know how I am ever gonna get used to school back home again, but I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there.
So the cruise last week, total debauchery. The boat we were on looked like it just dropped off some refugees before it picked us up. It was really dodgy actually, I really don’t think it was seaworthy at all. But then I found out they were serving hamburgers for free and all was good with the world. Sadly I was unable to go as Venus or Serena Williams as I could not find a skirt that would fit me. I went with the Payne Stewart look, high socks, plaid pants tucked into the socks, it was pretty sweet. I also had a set of kids golf clubs to top it all off. I learned a new rule for drinking which is definately being imported to Canada. Guy drops his beer on the ground, all of sudden everyone starts singing this song which I have no clue what the words are. But the key part is this: someone took of their shoe and everyone poured some of their drink into it and the guy had to chug it. It was hilarious. There was beer, wine, and vodka in that thing, not to mention someone’s foot! I can’t wait for someone to drop a beer when I get back, ahahahaha. As for me, well I was in the bag by 9:15 but I kept at it. Ended up in a Kebab shop after, which is sweet. Nothing like a kebab after a night of drinking. Best part of the night though, I ask the guy where the bathroom is and he directs me through the kitchen. My balance and coordination not being up to my usual standards I turned to ask him again where the bathroom was, and when I turned back to my horror I collided with a bowl of freshly cut mushrooms. The mushrooms hit the floor, I apologize profusely. The guy smiling says to me “No problem my friend, go to the washroom, it’s ok.” So I keep walking, turn around and see the guy sweeping the mushrooms back into the bowl. Good thing I already had my kebab!
I went to an Aussie Rules Football game on Sunday which was pretty cool. Crazy sport though, but good times.
Speaking of football, I should be finding out if I made the touch footy team soon. Word on the street is that I should make it, but if not I will try my luck at Rugby 7s. That would be cool cause there is hitting involved. I find that after playing so much touch you really want to flatten people sometimes. We just played our 4th game tonight. We got flattened 6-2. I continued to pad my stats though, put up another 2 tries but it is really getting annoying now. I hate losing. It really sucks. We aren’t in last place though, I think tied for 3rd last. If you come in last you get this thing called the wooden spoon which means you suck basically. That is not how Captain Iron Mike wants to end his first season as skipper. I am missing the next two games though, so unless someone else steps up to the plate it won’t be good. The Americanos don’t even show up anymore, even if they do they will ride pine.
I hope everyone has a nice easter, I will be on a beach somewhere warm, or snorkeling or something. I will be sure to send pics though!
Some pics from the cruise are below, I am sure all those people I have pics of are great people. Too bad I only know 3 of the guys.
