Wednesday

Yesterday's borrel-borrel-borrel was what it promised to be. My TA for "Moving Manhood" is this cute, medium-built dude whose interest is queer theory. He's so fitting for the course--he's so masculine, but gay (I think)! The first borrel was at the ISHSS which is our department, so basically we were having drinks with professors. Once it winded down, I met with my ISN group and we crossed the street to go to another borrel-type affair before going to the actual borrel. Note: I rode a bike in the midst of all this, though to be fair I rode better slightly inebriated than completely sober. We went to the Hefer which is the weekly borrel location. OH! So apparently everyone has a girlfriend, dudes that I've been hanging out with (strictly platonic, but still) have suddenly informed me that they have girlfriends home. I feel a bit betrayed, even though it doesn't change anything. After the Hefer, we went to Players, a sports bar and I met this French guy, Jean Phillipe (a friend of my ISN coach, Mona) who was just in Barcelona. I thought he was gay, apparently he's just French, but we've agreed to do some kind of exchange when he's in NY and I'm traveling around Europe. This borrels are so convenient! Today I don't have class, but I need to get out of the house to get books and shit. Let's see how this turns out.
