My trip to Europe
Well Luba asked me to post about my trip, so I might as well,lol.
Anyway, i am going to europe january 9th-18th for a travel class that I am taking. Though the actual travel part of it isnt so fun, as I have to fly from oklahoma to NY then from NY to Brussels,belguim. I fly to NY on the 8th then the next day leave with my class for brussels, where we spend two days. During the day we have to go visit a bunch of companies and see how they do business then we are free at night, though we probably will have a curfew, which will stop us from partying to much, though that just means bring alcohol to the hotel. If vautrin or twinkle want to meet up we can, though it is far for them to travel and i would not except them to, but ill throw the offer on the table.
After the two days we are taking the train through part of france and through the Chunnel to England, where we spend the next week. Here we are also visiting a bunch of companies though we will have more free time including two full days to do whatever we want, at which point i hope to meet meanon, either by her coming to london or by me going to see her. Only a few hours away. Then we fly back to NY and get in at midnight, and i still dont know where i am staying yet for that night, hopefully with someone going on the trip because i dont want to disturb other friends at 1 or 2am.
Basically this trip is gonna consist of drinking lots of redbull(even though i know the main ingredient is really bull urine) and other energy drinks to help me wake up in the morning then beer for the rest of the day.
One of my friends is going and her other friend, but i dont expect to spend that much time with them, my friend has ahabit of abandoning me when we go places, so i made friends with some other people in the class including one girl who i am somewhat interested in and if things go well will be spending time with her and if not then there are plenty of euro chicks that will want me, with my hot american accent,lol. Besides i can tell them all sorts of lies and they will never know any better, I can say i play college sports, that im a great student, as long as its believable and cause im al excited about stuff ill seem confident well because i will be, nobody there will ever see me again, so i dont have to worry about long term repercussions(unless i get a disease or a kid)
So yeah that pretty much sums up my trip, i think i covered everything.

If it were a week later or so, I'd definitely go to Brussels. But that week is the last week I get to spend with my gf - not to mention the three tests I have in the course of 8 days, with two of them being essential for my studies (if I don't pass at the first attempt, I am forced to waste a full year).
So I will have to pass up
It seems like a great trip. If you are into beer, you may want to try some Belgian ones - some of them are great quality, but not exported.

Yes, it sure is a great way to end college, I'm so happy for you!
Since I don't think I'll make it to Europe, I will have to live vicariously through all of you that live there or have been there...that's why I always ask for specifics
