Yes, we are now beginning a new year! And I'd say it's off to a pretty good start!
Last night being New Years Eve, I worked. BUT! In the morning! So I could still go out and enjoy my night and the countdown to a new year! My boyfriend and I were invited to a party at the Delta Hotel downtown and I was pretty darn excited! To be honest, this was the first legit party that I had ever been to. I'm not much of a party person. So it was very exciting for me seeing as I didn't know what to expect but I knew it was probably gonna be fun!
The LTC was running until 2 in the morning and was free beginning at 8, that way everyone could get home safely and not have to worry about costs. So we got on the bus around 9:30 heading downtown. When we got on the bus it was empty and quiet. But as we started getting closer to downtown, people started piling onto the bus. Most of them were not sober. They were actually quite loud and obnoxious talking about the most random things. I couldn't wait to get off the bus.
When we arrived at the hotel and walked through the front doors, I was amazed. The hotel was so beautiful. The stairs leading up to the hotel rooms were made of bricks leading up to a pool and then leading up towards the rooms. It was absolutely stunning. My boyfriends friend had gotten two rooms to hold this party, and they were beautiful as well. With a Tv, a mini bar, two couches, three chairs and a big comfy bed, it was quite comfortable. Plus two washrooms which is always convenient.
The night was going along quite well. Lot's of laughs and good friendly chats. I had also made a couple new friends! I'm usually a very shy and quiet person, so this is an accomplishment for me! Haha.
It was getting closer to midnight, about 10 minutes away actually, and everyone wanted to head down to Victoria Park for the countdown and fireworks. It was just around the corner and up the street, but with ten minutes to get there, I didn't think we would have enough time! But everyone was determined to make it down there. So we left the hotel, half walking and half running up the street to make it to the park. 11:52, 11:55, 11:57, it kept getting closer to midnight as we were still trying to make it to the center of the park trudging through all the slushy snow. All of a sudden fireworks started going off in the sky, and as I looked at my phone it was midnight and the beginning to the year 2011. I was somewhat disappointed that I didn't get to countdown, but the fireworks were amazing, and I had my very first new years kiss with the guy that means the world to me. It was a great night, and a great start to the new year.
When we got back to the hotel, I began to get tired. Seeing as I had worked that morning, my energy was running low. My boyfriend wasn't ready to leave quite yet, so I just told him I was going to rest on the bed in the other room. I had passed out for a little bit, not completely though, I knew what was going on around me and could hear everyone talking. I knew it didn't look good though when I heard someone say, " There is a girl passed out in there on the bed. " I assumed they thought I was completely drunk and had just passed out. Didn't look good to me! So I sat up for a bit and played a game on my iPhone.
Not so long after I got up, my boyfriend came into the room telling me that we had to leave. There had been a noise complaint from other rooms and security came up and told us we had to leave. As we sat in the lobby calling for cabs we were getting no luck. All cabs were in use and there was a 35 minute wait. It was 3 in the morning at this point. As we sat there waiting for the cab, these two guys decided to come down the hall and just sit in the hallway. They were asked to leave along with us as well. I was not impressed seeing as we were fine sitting there before until these kids had to come and just sit in the middle of the hall. But what do you do.
So standing outside in the coldness was not what I wanted to be doing. I just wanted to go home and go to bed! My boyfriend had gotten a cab and I was relieved. But as he was standing there talking to the cab driver, these three drunken college guys were standing outside as well. As soon as they saw the cab pull up, one of them said, " Yo let's get in this cab! " And began walking towards the cab and started getting in the back seat. I was FURIOUS. I was cold, I was tired, and I just wanted to go to bed. Luckily, another cab came two minutes later and we were able to get in that one.
Despite the cab troubles, I had a very good night, and an awesome start to the new year. :)
Happy New Year! 2011. :)
