Mexican Friday

After spending some time in the department for (re)grading some final exams and having a meeting with my supervisor for my M.A. paper (it needs corrections and my English definitely needs improvement) I rushed home to do some laundry. You see, today was cinco de mayo (O.K., seis de mayo, whatever!!) and awesome oh had planned a beautiful Mexican food fiesta at her new apartment later this afternoon.
So, I got back to the department, joined Raph and Gus and we all headed to Erin's place. Well, we had to stop for the required Mexican supplies (tortillas etc.) and wine and then, by bus and on foot we got to our destination.
The apartment is situated in a nice area; supermarkets and necessary facilities seem to be in a walking distance, and most importantly it is not too noisy. Yeah, that was a good choice of place...
The food was great and the company even greater. Émile, Meg, Jake, Megan, Tobin, Josh, Erin D., Heather and her friend (that came later on) and some other people their names I don't remember, we all had a great time (Again, please forgive my forgetful nature but it is 02.50 am and besides I was never good with names!!).
However, the attraction of the night was of course the Piñata that we managed to smash at the close-by park!!.
It was an innocent looking frog -shaped Piñata, but do not let the disguise fool you. That thing stood up a good fight. Our primary weapon (a broom stick) got seriously damaged and in fact, it broke up in two (you noticed I didn't say that Émile broke it in two?). Anyway, our struggling attempts weakened its resistance, so when my turn came I delivered the fatal strike (yes, although blindfolded, I managed to overcome the obstacles. Once again the Force was with me....)
As true conquerors we divided the spoils (the candies were great, BTW, this was the first time after 10 years I had a sucker) and returned back to Erin's apartment. Time happily passed with chatting and crafting (there was a lot of paper there to make paper flowers and other art masterpieces) and at around 12.30 Émile, Raph and me left.
Awesome Oh, thank you again for an awesome evening....
