Road Trips
I just returned from the second shortest road trip of my life (first being when I rode a bus 10 hours round trip to visit Kellyn in D.C. for 10 hours). Erin, Sarah and I hopped in the car and drove 2 1/2 hours to visit Ma'andi at Indiana University. Mallory was awesome enough to invite us to her party and let us crash on our couch.
All in all, it was your average awesome AIESEC trip. Deep conversations on the ride there that continued when we arrived. Great party. Met a few AIESECers from Indiana. Everyone thought we were visiting for Little 5, which I guess is their big party weekend. We had to inform people that no, we're leaving tomorrow morning at 7am to get back in time for class. Got 2 hours of sleep because we were up so late dancing, randomly visiting the AOII house at IU, walking around in the rain to get drunk food from the local Greeks Pizza place, and asking Ma'andi to sing us the Egyptian national anthem at 4am. Good, good times. I even saw Morgan, who I haven't seen since Freshman year when she transfered to IU from Miami!
The most interesting thing about going to other schools is people watching. Miami is such a different breed of school than any other in the Midwest, and it's so obvious when you visit places like OSU, Indiana, Cincinnati, etc. We noted that the cocktail attire that was required at the party was probably what Miamians would wear on an average night out - no, probably even class. I did lots of people watching and making observations about the differences of Indiana from Miami. Some good, some bad. Just different. Very different.
I'm so excited for this weekend. Lots of international festivals going on. Unfortch, the weather calls for rain for the majority. Ew.
Until next time...
