benders

wednesday was pub night. this is an event the school where i work does (i think) once a week. normally the school social coordinator organises it, but she was lucky enough to be on holiday in portugal this week, so the job fell to me...not that i am complaining: i had a grand time. who can complain about being paid to drink with a bunch of young people from around the world?
so i spent several hours hearing about life in korea or slovakia and enjoyed a healthy dose of wine....such outings are great in limited doses, but as luck has it i seem to be on a bender role. thursday i got an email from yura saying he had just showed up in london with a portuguese friend and did i want to me for drinks? i hadnt seen the guy since last july so of course i couldnt say no. so we met for "a drink" and ended up making the rounds of various pubs in the neighbourhood. and it seems the bender is going to stretch into day 3...i am waiting for the "where are we meeting" phone call right now.....

normally i would be ashamed by this accusation that i am somehow a lightweight. but i have been in pubs every night for 8 days with the exception of last tuesday. my contacts feel plastered to my eyeballs and i want to sleep
