However last night was a pleasant surprise. I was absolutely dead yesterday. Completely useless, pretty sure I spent six hours watching Grey's Anatomy. So when the Frenchies asked me if I wanted to drink again, I had little-to-no motivation. But I peeled myself out of bed, trucked up to the corner store and got some Carlsberg despite my better judgement.
Let me put this in context for you. I wore Lulus to the bar. That useless.
But here's the thing, we weren't even going to go to bar, we were really only biking in town to get pizza. Yes, in true form I biked ten minutes downtown only to get pizza.
But as a side-note, on the way downtown we were walking our bikes out of the residence parking lot when something about the size of a small cat crawls across the road. Being from a city, my first thought is that it's a rat.
However...

Meet our new friend, Hedgehog. Clearly creative naming is not a talent.
Apparently hedgehog parents teach their kids to play dead when confronted by screaming drunk biddys and so that is what Hedgehog did. We were concerned that he would get hit if we left him in the road so we tried to push him using our feet but the dude would not budge. Solene was adamant about the fact that Hedgehog was an extremely good actor. That he was Solene, that he was.
Anyway so we left him and went downtown in search of pizza. However, by the time we got downtown we were once again craving alcohol and so we did end up going to Wunderbar. It was completely dead there. I don't know what it is about Saturday nights here, but no one seems to want to go out. Anyway, a couple of other friends ended up joining us and we ended up grabbing a booth and actually having a pretty chilled-out night.
We ended up heading home around 1am and at this point the town was pretty dead. We were on our bikes and we cut through a grocery store parking lot to get home. Apparently in our drunken state we thought that it was a big deal that the parking lot was completely empty (usually it takes some manoeuvring around parked cars to cut through it). At which point we started driving around in circles, tucking and making race car noises on our bikes.
Maturity.
Anyway when we tired of the parking lot, we started back down our road and who do we come across... Hedgehog. No word of a lie, in the three hours since we had seen him last, he'd made it like two kilometres up the road. Not bad for a guy who freezes anytime something larger than him passes by. We once again tried to ease him off the road but he was not having it. So we bid him farewell and went on our way.
So, another low-key night but I'm okay with this. Next weekend is Intro Tour. Another Orientation event, except this time they're taking us away for a weekend to an undisclosed location for undisclosed activities. Jesus.
In other news, I woke up with the cough that has been going around, I still haven't gotten around to doing my economics reading (all 150 pages of it to be done for Tuesday) and I spent my night watchng Dirty Dancing with the Germans. Productivity at its finest.
PS. Went for a walk with the Germans today and got some picture-taking in. It's still hard to believe that I actually live here. Unreal. But then I think how much it looks like Nova Scotia and I realize how much I take for granted the place I call home.
