Day 22: And it was going so well...

After my road trip yesterday (and then a small trip to my friend's house in Valmiera), my phone alarm didn't wake me up but a car alarm did. I am humbly appreciative to whoever's car that was - sarcasm not intended.

On days like these (when you practically miss half of the day) you wake up and have to find what opportunities there are for you to explore. My Estonian friend checked the weather forecast and noticed that it has been predicted to rain for the rest of the week and today was the only day for it to be sunny! He suggested that we go to the small beach (Dalini beach) and just relax there. Good plan! It was so peaceful just laying there on his blow-up bed, reading a book, getting a tan and looking at the clouds.

Very similar to the Google image I included in an earlier post.

After tanning my mosquito bites and reading my romance fiction, me and my friend decided to cook dinner. You gotta love pasta and English tea for afters!

The plan for the evening was to go to the university's graduation prom and see what's happening there. We ended up going to a club. We moved on to another club because my neighbour in the dorms works there and it was her last day. The night seemed to be going well. It reached about 4am and I decided to head home with my neighbour. It was literally broad daylight outside. We arrived at the dorms. I reached my bedroom door and put my hand in my bag expecting to hear the rattle of my keys. The rattle didn't sound. It was one of those moments where you have a mini heart attack. I was having many. Thoughts raced through my tired brain: when was the last time I had my keys? What if I left them in the club? What if they fell out while I was dancing? I was so close to breaking into song:

Something sparked and I rang my Estonian friend whose car I was in earlier. They were in his car! By this time, it was 5am but I didn't care. I just wanted my keys back. I had to get a taxi all the way to his house, get the keys and catch a taxi back! I'm so lucky that taxis are so cheap here. I just hope the same thing doesn't happen tonight when celebrating St. John's Day. Definitely a day and night to remember!
