Dinner Pa pa pa party!

Yesterday I saw the doctor, who prescribed me up to 40mg of Ritalin per day. She told me that people usually take 3-4 pills of ritalin a day. I think if I followed her directions I would be dead by now. She also said it was a good idea to take the xanax along with it and prescribed me enough to last me until the end of January if I took 3 a day. Uh....

Anyway, then I headed over to the 16th and grabbed a bottle of wine. I went over to Chris' apartment for dinner. Aris was already there, taking care of chopping duties.

Mmmm! That was some sort of apricot with cheese and pistachios, it was yummy!
Katie came too!

Chris cooking aubergines, which he later threw at me

For dessert Chris had prepared the most amazing pumpkin custard, except Katie is vegan! So he whipped her up some dark chocolate, some candied ginger, and whatever else was vegan that he thought would taste good together. It ended up as a dark chocolate pudding thing.

Custard! So good
Then we started listening to 80s, 90s, and 2000 songs and blasted back to the past. We were looking for karoake places to go to unfortunately there weren't any close by. I then went to his bathroom which did not have a light, and learned later that the protocol was to bring a candle into the bathroom. So I wrote a song about that.

Katie left to go home, but because I live SO far away, I knew I wasn't going to make the metro so I tried to call a cab but it didn't work and my phone ran out of credit. Aris was sleeping over and Chris let me sleep over too.

But first we recorded our club hit, Candle in da Bathroom

Chris had class this morning at 6 or 7, some obscene hour. He lives about 3 stops away from school so I figured I would just go straight to school. I looked and felt like SHIT. I finished some work, studied for my exam, then had class straight from 12:30-7:15 and felt like dying by the end. We watched Mon Oncle in film class, our last one, which was a cute cute movie, but I was feeling out of it all day because I forgot to take my meds and lately the doc has me on such a low dose that I'm not sure if it's doing anything at all.

It snowed today. Everyone was wet and miserable. Trains were late, all of them.

Us waiting in class, our room was switched and we were confused because the professor didn't show up until late. We had our vocab test and an oral critique of Potiche.

After class I wanted to go home and die, except the circus was tonight! Lindsay Carla and I stopped in in the salon after to have food and desserts (they were hosting some sort of event and gave us all of the food afterwards) and got on the train, which was so packed and so delayed and we also had to get to the opposite end of Paris! We had to wait 15 mins for one transfer, then there were so many people I could barely breathe. Finally we were told by Iris that the box office was already closed so I turned back and went home. Oh well, at least I tried...

10 days.
