Parks and Parties

So our first week of class is done, which in reality was only Wednesday and Thursday this week! But so far I'm taking French grammar, French culture, history of French gastronomy, history of the French revolutions, history of French documentary films, emotive vocabulary learned through films, film analysis, French literature to films and hopefully a French sociology class!

Friday afternoon we went to the park de l'orangerie which was gorgeous!! It's this giant botanical garden/ park space about 10 minutes from our residence, and it also has a small zoo!
We didn't do too much except hang around and enjoy the park. Then we all split up for supper. Supper, about that. I seemed to have formed a small addiction to Mr. Noodles. It started last weekend when I ate 4 packs of them. And ever since, all I want is more of those delicious salty MSG laden noodles. So for supper Friday I caved and went out and bought another pack of my noodles / crack cocaine snack. They were sooooo satisfying. Unfortunately, my digestive system is significantly less pleased with my meal choices lately :(...
ANYWAYS the five of us reunited to try to find the party for the international kids. Me and Claire missed our tram stop, and ended up on the wrong side of town and it took us an hour and a half to make the 20 minute transit to Elizabeth and Natasha's residence. But we finally reunited with everyone!
We got to the bar the event was at at 1 am. And it was definitely not bumpin. We ran into some boys from my residence who told us that everyone was out for their smoke break, classic France lol. Me and Natasha were super in the mood to dance, so we just went for it. There was an empty stage above the dance floor that we hoped up on. We were dancing like nobody was watching - until people started to cheer ! We thought that was hilarious, and we pulled out our craziest dance moves. After a little while, the party was happening significantly more, and we were still dancing like we owned the place lol. We stayed until we got bored of the boys that we had been flirting with. Then our crew (Claire, Elizabeth, Kaelan, Natasha and I) made our way back through the old city to their residence.
There was a spooky moment when we were pretty sure a guy was following us that I was so grateful we were travelling in a pack of five of us. Since it was late and we were reallly far, Claire and I took an uber home (shoutout to Tantan!). I felt super gross, so I decided to take a (slightly tipsy) shower before conquing out. Best decision ever! I felt significant less disgusting after and then immediately fell asleep. 
More updates on Colmar to come later!
