A crazy night downtown and a 2nd class

So we ended up going to Las Vegas last night (the club here in Rouen, France, not the city in Nevada... ya, I know, I'm hilarious). After pre-gaming upstairs with them good old Canucks and Yankees, we got there and had to wait in a huge line outside that basically didn't move, so after standing around for an hour, we finally got in at about 12:20 AM. After buying a 13 euro ticket, it was what basically amounted to open bar, as everyone had drink coupons, but even if you didn't, the bartenders didn't really seem to care. So it was a great night of extreme drunkenness, and we headed out "early" at about 3:00 AM.

Somehow I popped my knee cap out getting into a cab (we tried to take the bus, but apparently the night bus only runs past 1 on weekends), which meant a minute of excruciating pain. However after that I didn't feel a thing, so I thought I was fine until I woke up this morning and found some pain had returned. Bleh. That kind of thing doesn't usually happen to me either.

Oh by the way, I got in at 3:45 - 4 am, and had a 9 am class this morning which was another pleasant experience. I set my alarm for 7, but woke up, shut if off half-asleep, and went right back to bed. Fortunately, I woke up again at 8:40, which gave me just enough time to get up and head to class. Today was Oenology, or the science of wine-making. Interesting class. Today was kind of a history of wine, so it was a tad long and tedious, but still definitely some cool stuff.

It's about 1:20 PM here on Friday now, and I've been told to be ready in an hour-ish for a venture into the city. And so with that, I should probably go about getting myself organized, and just post the rest of my pics from last night and sign off.

Miss you all.

Dan
