A Great Weekend

Well besides arguing with my boss on Friday and catching a cold I had a fantastic weekend!

I started my weekend on the rainy night of Thursday. It wasn't raining that hard when I left so I pulled on a rain poncho hopped on my motorbike and battled my way into town for pub quiz. Of course it began raining harder as I drove but it didn't stop me from making it all the way into town. I had a blast a pub quiz with my random team of awesomness...we surprisingly got 3rd place (at half time we were 5th or second to last). Sadly, this was the last pub quiz for both Paul and Kelsey...they both left on Sunday to return to their homes.

On Friday night I trekked back into town for Korean barbecue and got completely lost. I wound up going about 10 minutes too far before I turned around. It started raining lightly during the time I was lost:( I finally got to the barbecue house just as everyone showed up :D We had a blast eating and chatting...even though Andre insisted that my name is Jessica again. After gorging on the 99baht all you can eat/cook buffet we followed the guitar player to his friends restaurant/bar. We hung out there for the rest of the night (the guys played with the guitars and played random songs). I wound up leaving first at 1:30 cause I was exhausted.

When I got home I got a scare! As I was walking towards my sink to brush my teeth I just happened to look down and saw my foot hovering over a scorpion (How did it get to the 5th floor!?)! After looking down at it like a deer in the headlights I promptly changed course for the kitchen. I grabbed a small bowl and flipped it over the scorpion. I watched him scurry around his little cage for a while before getting ready for bed. Before bed I looked at him again and saw that he was collapsed on the floor (seemingly dead). For some reason I decided to leave the bowl on him over night.

Saturday I woke up with a cold :( but that didn't stop me from having a good day. I checked on the scorpion 'carcass' and thought I was going crazy cause it didn't seem to be in the same place as it was when I went to bed (but I was slightly sleep deprived so I left the whole thing alone). That night I went out to Coolin' Out bar for Paul's goodbye 'party'. I had a great time hanging out with everyone and making new friends. Time flew by and before I knew it, it was 2:30am! Well at 2:30 almost everyone had moved on to new places so I decided to head home.

Sunday morning I decided to sweep the scorpion 'carcass' out onto the balcony. So I removed the bowl and the damn thing sprang to life and bolted! Which scared me to death! I jumped, yelled, screamed and then chased it down and got the bowl back over the faker scorpion. After he was trapped again I slid some paper under the bowl and threw him off my balcony!

It was a good weekend minus the scorpion scare!
