This was the advertisement: 19 people in one apartment for one week. 150 people confirmed for NYE festivities. "Leah, you help scrub floors and make food for the party and we'll make sure you don't go hungry this week."
The bases were covered and the trip was way more than what was advertised. The week consisted of whirlyball at midnight, burning champagne corks to draw mustaches, brewing beer, endless darts, pool and catch-phrase, sneaking into the aquarium (my first illegal activity I think), Bulls game, human pyramid of all the "hostel #4" residents, code words, taped up feet and sleeping in various positions on all sorts of beds/couches/floors/closets, etc. The list could go on, but I will just say that my life is better after spending one week with 19 people in an apartment which happened to be at least 4 times the size of mine. A few highlights in picture-form:
a little self-incriminating, but oh well. yep, unibrow and mustache!
Tapin it up... don't worry, Rebecca left a nice note explaining his situation.
Waiting in line at the aquarium... making fish-faces!
Oh my goodness... words... there are none that would suffice.
