Eventful Day

Thursday January 21st
So every thursday I only have one class but it sadly starts at 8 am. Also it's a 'Lab' class, this means the teacher won't be explaining new materials but you get the time to do your homework. This is also the class where we get quizzes. Now I know this is every thursday, I won't be attending this class as long as I finished my homework and there are no quizzes scheduled. Because I already finished my homework for this week, I left about half an hour later.

Since I had the whole day in front of me, I went to shop for some hairdye so I could retouch my blue hair. It was about 20 minutes with the bus to get where the salon store was. Appearently it was at a great shopping square with lots of stores. After I got my hairdye I wne to look around the shopping square.

Around noon I returned to the college to wait for Berwout and take the shuttlebus home. We had an activity scheduled which the international office offered to international students. The activity was paintball. We arrived home at about 3pm and we had to leave for paintball at 5pm. We decided to have dinner in the foodcourt at 4pm.

When we were getting ready in our apartment the firealarm suddenly went off and we were ready to grab our coats and get outside untill someone annouced that the firealarm was set off on the 12th floor and you could stay in your apratment with the doors closed if you felt safe enough. Our apartment is on the second floor so we decided to stay inside untill we had to leave for dinner. At 4pm we left the building and the firedepartment was inside trying to get up to the 12th floor, since the elevators deactivated for safety. We went straight to get dinner so we didn't hear what the real problem was. You coudn't see anything from the outside, so we assumed it was just someone smoking inside.

Paintball time.
There were about 12 inernational students who signed up to go paintballing. We left in two vans, and after 15 minutes arrived at the paintball place. It was an inside paintball facility, which made me happy because it was too cold outside!
We had to sign a waiver that they are not responsible for any injuries. After that we put on overalls to protect us from the paint, and got our paintball guns. We played about 7 rounds which took about 5 minutes each. At the end there were two students who had paintballs left and went in for a 1 versus 1.
This was my first time playing paintball. It was a fun time but I won't want to play it every week. It does hurt once you get shot, though the pain fades away pretty quickly. I got hit about 5 times, and this left me with 3 big bruises.
After the last round we went back home, it was about 9 pm. After a shower we went to bed because we had to get up early for school again.
