After class, I returned to the apartment and my roommates made me stir fry…oh my GOODNESS it was so great! Pretty much anytime I eat anything that's not toast I love it, but regardless, this rocked. It was so sweet of everyone to pitch in to make me an amazing dinner!

After we gorged ourselves on classy food and wine, the eating fun still wasn't over; my mom had arranged a cake to be sent to me! It was the sweetest surprise:) We ate it disgustingly fast.

| The best cake EVER. |

| Believe it or not, this cake tasted even better than it looked! |
After we ate a week's worth of calories, we got all dolled up for a fun night out on the town! A friend who had studied abroad in London last semester recommended that I book a private party at Adventure Bar for a little pregame. So, always welcome to recommendations, the flat headed to Covent Garden and found the bar. It was AWESOME: cool, hip setting that played rocking tunes like this. It was also fun to do something just the 12 of us.

After an hour or so, some of my closest guy friends here joined us and accompanied us to Zoo Bar, an American dance club nearby. Now please don't think I'm lame because I picked to go to a bar that didn't have mannequins hanging from the ceiling. In the end, I just wanted to dance, and I LOVED having top-40 tunes playing in the background as I raised the roof. It was so sweet how my friends just wanted to make sure I had the time of my life. Once we hit the point of exhaustion, we called it a night and headed home.
The next morning I woke up nice and early for my job at Parliament, and after a few hours of work I began to pack for my weekend trip to Paris. Overall, the night was an overwhelming success, and I felt so humbled and loved!
Tales of my trip to come in my next entry :)
Until then, Cheers!
