Estonian dude

Just wait until Tuesday. You ain't supposed to be gifting the stuff before Christmas anyways.

Secured me a date for the uni jubilee prom. 95 years since the start of studies in Estonian in here. Uni itself is from 1632.

Cause it is due date by Thursday midnight.

The fact that somehow I manage to book every single evening for at least a week beforehand. Can't have nearly anything done in short term notices... Case in point: Monday, start with work, then school, then frat classes and dancing. Tuesday: interview with local elders for my coursework. Wednesday: Writing an essay. Thursday: Finishing up said essay. Friday: Work, then immediately off to Brussels until Monday.

We used to go swimming in the river. 2 kilometers from my home. 5 minutes is not extreme. In other news, yesterday went to me mates place and we ended up drinking until 7.30 AM. Needless to say, today was wasted.

I'm gonna need at least a week of resting time before I want to drink anything again... Mate owns me a crate and a half of beer, should be ok with that.

I'd like to see you drinking me under the table. You 'muricans don't even have proper beer. Like 355 ml bottles? dafuq? Half a litre or a pint is where it's at. Tomorrow, gonna be the biggest party of the year. Free drinks for 2 days. 200 blokes having a celebration. And quite probably quite a few chugging competitions. My current record is 8 seconds, but I've seen a dude doing half a litre in just 4.7 secs.

How is that more than a case of beer? How large is your case? Shot, as in 4 cl in a shot glass. Century would be just 4 litres of beer. 8 regular bottles. It ain't that much. Tyler, I wasn't sure about it. I knew that I would most definitely get hammered, but that was the point, to get hammered and to go out afterwards. I did go out afterwards, after around half an hour of drinking water I was completely fine. But as I just said, 8 regular bottles a night is sneezeworthy.

Today, spent like 6-7 hours editing a video. Yesterday, tried to do a century. Which is 100 minutes, every minute a shot of beer. Did it with 7% strong beer. I managed somewhere around 70 minutes, mates flopped at 60. None of us remembers anything after it. I fell down the stairs with a glass in my hands. Which I broke. And cut my arm pretty well. Kids, don't try a century. This weekend, most important event for my korp! in the whole year.

As I live across the pond I can't really tell what you even have available. But my favourite beers are also porters. Best one I've had was a white chocolate porter. Nice and creamy, but it was discontinued.

Yes, you absolutely should have. Engineering/sciences ftw!

Whew, now it's been 7 out of 8 last days that I have worn a suit. Really need to get it dry cleaned after this weekend, but at least I don't have to wear it again until Friday. Also, starting to get my schoollife a bit back in track.

I sometimes can't arrange a free hour a week in advance... For example, all but one weekend until Christmas I have already some arrangments waiting for me...

Dunno what the fuzz is with all that Halloween stuff. Isn't really celebrated round here.

No overwhelming drinking, while at the korp! house, that means. And if you can't control yourself and manage something bad, you can get a veto for alcohol consumption. That goes also for drinking outside the frat. Well, my primary information about frats comes from Hollywood movies and Buzzfeed-style articles. Currently, the general of the armed forces is an alumnus of one korporatsioon (frat). Our president is an alumnus for a society which is also a korporatsioon in everything but name. Korporatsioon's are quite powerful in everyday life aswell. And they are honored in society.

You meant frats? You have it mandatory to wear suits, no swearing, no overwhelming drinking. We sing and have ballroom dancing classes. Singing is a freaking huge part of any korporation (frat-thingy) in Estonia. Closest academic societies to ours exist in Latvia and Germany, this thing doesn't exist anywhere else nowadays.

Umm, that last post was made at 6 AM. At the aftermaths of a night drinking. That night was [bleep]ing LEGENDARY! And it is fraternity as in definition as it is a male student society. We have no frat parties or such things, we are an academic society and we have lectures and public presentations about issues in society and so on. And he quit as in went asleep. I still don't know all details about last night. But we played kindergarten games with some chicks on town square, I apparently hit on some girls absolutely pathetically, I ended up creeping out a whole fast food joint, had a large wrap, and after that a GIANT cheeseburger (diameter of 15 cm's) and after those a large portion of french fries aswell. Played some quarter aswell.

>mate and I are both in a fraternity (not really a frat in the American way, but you have no such societies the other way) >mate tells us how he wants to be active and be a [bleep]ing awesome and important dude >me and me best mate who is a coloured member tell him he needs to prove himself before he can do anything of significance >dude feels insulted and quits.

I am in university. That means nobody cares. I need to work to earn money to be able to afford to be in the university. And I am not too bad out if I fail something, it affects my GPA but it is absolutely rubbish anyways and I have some extra credits.

I am so behind in my studies. About 99% sure I fail something. But I got to go to Riga and drink as much as I wanted for a weekend, so I got that going for me... Also got a free trip to Brussels with free drinks at the end of November... And I have something happening every single freaking weekend until December. And pretty much every single evening is full of events...

If you pour fat, always pour hot water with it. It helps it go down the drains.

Winter swimming is a thing here and I haven't kept up with it this year, might be why I am sick. Not a single time last year, but then again last year I went swimming 2 times a week nearly all winter long. Sauna to the side aswell though. But yeah, had nothing to do with raw meat, I don't eat raw meat.

Fell ill. And I used to brag about my steel-strong health... Well, haven't managed to go swimming this semester yet, already has costed me dearly...

Discovered Dragon Age: Origins. Miles and miles ahead of its sequel. A truly great game so far, much better than the second one. Though I have to admit the second had a lot more flowing combat...

Why can't you eat raw beef? There are people whose entire diet consists purely of raw meat. And I don't know about the states, but here the local food gets here the next day. While packed in protective gases and cooled. Which means not so many deadly bacteria.
