Exploits of Whimsy

Emilia so happy

Today was quite full of surprises. The first surprise was that TA DA! My loans did NOT come!!!

Doo-dee-doo....dee....uh....d'oh.

Yeah. So much for that promise. We'll see if they show up tomorrow. Because I am in DESPARATE need of a towel. And, you know. Food.

So, you're probably wondering why I titled this "Emilia so happy." First of all, I heard this Polish guy singing, "I so happy" on the way home tonight, so that was a flash of inspiration, but secondly, it's true. Due to the other surprises of today!

Just a bit of back story, yesterday I was walking around and saw this guy who was very trendily sporty, and since I was walking behind him a bit, I tried to puzzle out his nationality, with no avail. Usually I'm really good at that, just based on clothes. One of these days, I will explain. :) Okay.

Anyway, I was sitting in my room this afternoon when my mobile rang. My first thought was, "Who on earth is calling me?" I looked at my phone, and it was MARCO. Marco was one of my closest buddies last semester. We were in the same Polish class and hung out almost every day with our friend Alvaro. And he is in KRAKOW. As opposed to Milan. So we planned to go dancing tonight, and I met him at an old favorite bar, Piekny Pies. I got there, and he was sitting at a table with A: Charles, a Belgian guy also from our Polish class, and B: Random trendy sporty guy from yesterday, whose name is Gabriel and is also Italian and knows Marco and Charles (he and Charles teach Italian and French respectively at the university). Random, random, random.

We went to a favorite club after a while and danced to Polish music, which was so much fun, because it was just like last semester. I really missed Marco this summer, and I was so incredibly thrilled that he called me today. After that, we went to The Hangout from last year, Lubu Dubu. It was fun, but also late, and I was tired. While everybody else danced, I sat near the dancefloor and pondered memories of Lubu Dubu. I started thinking about this guy Dominik, who was a pretty good friend I didn't get to say goodbye to, because he went back to Germany to have knee surgery unexpectedly at the end of the semester. I was bummed, because I knew I would never see him again. Lubu Dubu has so many fun memories attached. It is close to where I lived last year, so we were there a lot, and it was always a riot, because they play this awful 80s music all the time, and everybody dances like complete idiots, but no one cares at all. Anyway, I got tired, so I grabbed my jacket and said goodbye to the friends for the night. I turned the corner to head out the door, and BAM.

Probably the biggest surprise of the day: Dominik. Who looked as shocked to see me as I did to see him. He's back in town to take a few exams, and staying with another friend, Robert. So I walked with them a bit, and we're going to hang out on Monday.

What a day. So, yeah, I so happy. Seeing Marco and Dominik especially made my life, I think. lol. I was so excited.

So that was my day. Hoping that the morning will come with a nice monetary surprise so I can buy food and a towel. Especially since they explicitly said, "the first deposit will be in your account by Thursday." They have four hours and 44 minutes to fulfill it. I'll give them leeway because of the time difference. But I have to pay my tuition, um...Monday. So this is cutting it too close for my comfort. Too close, I say.

But that's enough of that. Overall, very happy day. Get to see Marco tomorrow too, hurrah, and Dominik Monday. Yay for that.
