Friday May 7th - A day of beers and flip cup

To begin this blog I would like to begin with a confession. At one point, before the official commencement of May of Dreams I had my doubts. Shocking, I know. The decision to live at 50 Arnold for the month of May was a difficult one to make. For one, living with all boys is a little intimidating. For two, 50 Arnold is not the cleanest of abodes. The day of move-in, May 1st, I was very discouraged. The living room was inaccessible (except for very recently when 4 bros slept in there, still a mystery to me). Cleaning the bathroom was a huge undertaking. The kitchen, well the kitchen could’ve been worse I suppose, but could’ve also been better. The most disheartening thing of all was the front hall, which has an odour that must be experienced to understand. I think I’ll take this point to remind all bros to keep the raccoon door closed when visiting 50.

The doubts I once had are now a distant memory. Scott and Mike, you are wonderful roommates. I wonder now how I could have ever questioned such a momentous event in my life. The memories we are making will last a lifetime.

Yesterday was no exception. The day began relatively uneventful. Work was slow and the weather was yucky. After work some bros took a nap. Other bros went grocery shopping and bought too much food because it was on sale. May of Dreams members and guests started arriving at 50 around 8. The bros were split between the room of Hockey (Sara’s) and the dark room (Mike’s). Beers were had. Dancing and clubbing was planned. It was windy and raining and cold out, but flip cup was on the calendar of events and thus needed to be played. In order to maintain clean, dry clubbing attire the decision was made to play in one’s underwear on the patio. The game was intense. My team won.

The dream of clubbing and dancing was becoming less and less feasible due to time and weather conditions. Some bros (Derek) refused to give up but in the end it was Snooty and Montfort that ended the night. I didn’t attend these events but am sure memories were made. Back at home, I spent a good 20 min trying to prank Mike’s computer. Google images is highly censored and turns out finding pictures of naked women is not as easy as it may seem. I’m sure by the end of May by pranking skills will improve.

This is what dreams are made of!
