When in France, do as the French.

Last night, this petite fleur fanée (little faded flower, because I'm 23 now) was sulking a little bit in her room. Because of the strike today, the students were all out enjoying themselves as if it were a Friday, but I was all by myself in my room! Twice already I had received two different visits from drunk students who crept up to my door, banged on it, and they ran away giggling. *Sigh.* I watched Goodwill Hunting by myself on TV until about 11PM and then I almost put on my pyjamas and went to bed. However, I wanted to watch the movie following Goodwill Hunting, House on Haunted Hill, but seriously needed company to make it through it this scary film. So, I worked up some courage to go out into the hallway to find someone to watch it with me.

Luckily for me, my neighbor across the hall was just retourning home. He didn't seem too interested in watching the movie, but we did talk for about 20 minutes. Ok, fine, that's better than nothing. But, about five minutes later after I returned to my room, he knocked on my door and told me some of his classmates had come over to watch the movie in his room and that I should join them. Sweet!

After the movie at around 1AM, I was fairly convinced that this would be the end of my night. I got into my pjs and washed my face and brushed my teeth. Mais alors, around 1:30, I got another knock on my door. It was some of my other students from across the courtyard who saw my light and thought that I shouldn't be up all alone. So, I changed back into my clothes and went with them. There, I actually met the two other fabled GIRLS who actually live in the residence!!!! WOW! Pretty soon 2AM turned into 4AM which turned into 6AM. How quickly my crappy, lonely evening turned into a lively all-nighter!
