The next few days are going to be quite busy with a cabaret (essentially a talent show) tonight, an open bar tomorrow, and a birthday party for Ben on Saturday. Nothing too overly exciting to recount from the last week or so, but I'll sum it up briefly.

Last Monday, I had my phone interview with Irving. Also, I was finally able to purchase my other train tickets and they arrived over the next 2 days along with my concert ticket. On Wednesday, we had a small party at Ben's. On Friday, some people went away for the weekend and a half dozen of us went to a get-together at a French girl's flat. On Saturday, I got my haircut at Ben's, went to the Archie Bronson Outfit concert, and then back to Ben's. Then, last night, we watched Casino Royale. Aside from that, lots of school work, group meetings, and classes.
