Night around town

I'm keeping this short b/c I have yet to get an adapter for my laptop so I'm mooching off another girl which makes me feel like shit. Tonight was crazy. We met with ISN which is an organization for international students and hung out with them which was great until we had to get home--oh which reminds me. Today we got our bikes, which is exciting but intense. I got a SHORT bike, the guy looked at me and said, "tell the guy to give you a small bike." So 5'4" is officially short which makes sense b/c everyone is huge. The ISN group was eclectic to say the least. There's Alessandro one of my "group" leaders, he's Italian and the first one to dance on tables. Myron, British background Sri Lankan, infectious accent. Mona, the "responsible" group leader with the tolerance of a 12 year old and Francisco, a small Argentinian boy who has a firm handshake. We went around town with CIEE people today but it didn't quite prepare us for our journey home. I went home with a girl (Ashley, cool, tall from Chicago) but had no idea where to begin and kept asking people we were sure would know but didn't. We got home within less than a half hour, which was fine, cold but fine. I was struck by a rush of guilt when I saw a Brandeis compatriot who had been having a hard time with her bike. She's hardly 5 feet and even the small bike is too big. We ran into her and another bunch of people (one of them being Tim) and they were walking their bikes and once we had figured out a way to get home, we kind of ran off. I only realized later when I was in my room reveling in its natural warmth how fucked up that was. I'll be apologizing for a good portion of tomorrow.
