Heidy Ho!

I dont even know what these blog titles mean, I say the first thing that comes to my head. Right now Im watching Jersey shore on SIdereel.com so its more like audio.  Today I woke up at 11:50am and I was like there's no way I'm rushing to Consumer Behavior class for 3 hours  without eating and getting ready so since there are breaks I took off the first hour and took it easy had a complete breakfast printed the slides and all. Don't stay out til 4am when you have class, even if it's at noon the next day. So I went to class and then afterwards went back and got my stuff to take to T-building and I get a refund of 250 Euro, yay! In my new Dutch bank account at ING! Speaking of that, I wanted to figure out how to use ChipKnip and my account so I grab the #7 and head to Goudsesingel and finally by the time I am served they say oh youre supposed to go to the ING bank at Avenue Concordia, and they close in ...5 minutes. So that was a waste and on the #7 back home, I get a call that some people go to hookah so I'm more than down. I get some fries because I'm starving and I go home. I go to my kitchennete and the light over the stove blows out, great. Then I find my fridge is not cold, and the light is off. I plug it into the other outlet and it whaddya know works. There's only 2 plugs down there so now I'm basically without hot water in my sink, not that there is much to begin with as everytime I wash dishes it runs out after 3 minutes. Now my idea is to go to MediaMarkt to buy an extension cord (running over the sink? not sure it's a good idea :P )   It sucks when you have no will to write, you just try to occupy your attention with everything else, I'm not even really sure how that works. So  thankfully now my fridge works though I still have not heard from anyone after I sent emails to the facilities department for the building, probably because it is still the weekend.  Lets not forget I also have had a busted desk lamp light and ceiling light since I moved in over 3 weeks ago. So I get on my bike and ride down Oostedzjdijk and meet them at Foka. Then we make our way down into the neighborhood to the hookah place but it turns out there is no such place. I ask an old Moslem woman in a bakkerij if she speaks English and she sighs, and responds 'ney' so I ask a pizzeria and they say there is a hookah place in Centrum. We decide to go back to Napoleon and settle for drinks there. I had a trippel and the only food they still had available after 8pm, some strange chicken and rice dish with too much of some Asian sauce, it reminded me a bit of the lamb platters you get at the 46th st food stand in Manhattan. After 1 drink, we relocated to Locus Publico, famed for its hundreds of beers available and extra-knowledgeable bartenders. I was pressured to get a Budweiser, but I did not cave and I still have not had any KFC, Pizza Hut, BK, or Micky D's since I have been here! (I did have Subway though :P )  After a few rounds of drinks there, we called it a night around 11 in order to have enough sleep to get to Central Station before 9am the next morning to go to AMSTERDAM!!!
