Okay, the name for my bike is Gus. Woohoo!
After I went out for the dinner last night, Gus broke down on me.... I had no idea about the bike, so my Swedish nerdy friend Erik took a look at my bike. He said he could fix it if he had his "tools". So hopefully Gus is going to be fixed by today sometimes. Apparently the nut? for the back wheel is really loose so every time I try to paddle, the chain is pushing the back wheel forward and causing a massive friction to actually ride a bike. Or something like that.
Last night, we went out to the bar first time ever in Purdue (well for me anyway). It was quite fun. The atmosphere in the bar was definitely different to the bars in Melbourne. I met heaps of people and they kept on shouting us drinks. The drinks are so much cheaper! I ordered my usual Vodka with OJ but it only costed me $3.75. We had this really sugarly shot. Have no idea what it was called. Red something something... Oh well.
Oh my god, check out the massive Corona bottle!! It is pretty much twice the size of what you can get in Australia! It is really gigantic! I couldnt finish even half of the bottle before getting to the point of if I drink anymore, I would throw up...
I think I saw fair bit of strange "bar tradition" at harry's last night. I dont know I cant quite explain, but if someone drops his/her drink, there is this chanting that we all have to do and stuff like that. It is pretty crazy. Apparently Harry's chocolate shop was actually a chocolate shop back in the day with a hidden bar at the back...
We left the bar at about 12:15, Erik and I dropped Stacey off at her apartment and went pick up his bike and he walked me home... It took about 2 hours. by the time I got back to my apartment, I was pretty much sober but really really tired. Had a very good night I suppose! You know what? I really really felt like maccas last night and we walked passed it on the way to Stacey's. but I resisted my temptation... when I come to think of it, I dont think I have had maccas in US yet... hmmm HOW CRAZY.
Anyway, Brunch time! I'll talk to you guys soon!
Love you heaps and missing you even more!

"Everytime I try to paddle" there in lies your problem. All bicycles really should have written on them 'no swimming' written on them. A fairly common problem.
Did you play Beer Pong? or Flip Cup? Ask your americanis how to play, i'm sure they'll know.
Kumi those beers are only a pint, i'm sure you were able to down at least 3, and by the pigmentation of your skin... i'd say you probably did. I do appreciate the fact that you can barely hold it though.
Well done on resisting maccas, you did good. Make sure you stay strong. It took you 2hours to get home? How unsober/far from your place were you?
KUMIKOTTEIIIIII!!!!!!
Free bike!? That is just not fair...Hate being an uni student here. I hate it I hate it I HATE IT SO MUCH.
Anyway, please bring back a Corona bottle for me.
