This week has been one of the most fun. I feel I have got closer to all my friends and also just had a brilliant week.

So let me explain the title of this blog.

A Racoon. Last night I went on a long midnight walk. I had to think about a few things. When I turned around, I saw a racoon...following me. I don't know if you have ever seen a racoon move but it's pretty creepy. It's slinks and walks with a kind of gangster swagger. I decided to carry on walking, but when I turned around ten minutes later because I thought I heard an alarm go off and I saw the racoon again. Still following me. I knew not to approach - they can be dangerous, apparently - but it was so creepy. He followed me for another twenty minutes. I didn't have any food on me. I didn't quite realise why I was so interesting to this racoon. It disappeared just before I walked into the sprinklers, that I didn't realise spun on the grass...not clever.

International Food - Betty organised an international dinner with Jesús' apartment. We had to bring something from our country. I had to edit for Triton TV all evening so Betty bought me scones to take and bought some jam. They were Canadian Scones...and they didn't taste like scones. Not at all. Maybe a bit like shortbread. Oh these Canadians...trying to copy us British all the time. Catalina cooked a really nice chicken and mushroom dish. Betty cooked a Russian version of Shepherds Pie. Joanne cooked Garlic shrimp. Laura cooked a really nice balsamic salad and cookies. David cooked a nice soup which he was really disappointed with but it was amazing. It was really good fun. More people joined us than the people who cooked like Jesús, Peter, Rosie, Patrick, Jean and Bobby. We talked, we giggled and just had as much fun as possible. It was a good night. I sneakily washed the dishes and took out the trash much to Jesús' annoyance but hey ho :D Trying to be helpful.

Cookies - Ok, if you want the long version of this story, inbox me. But to cut it short, Andy came over to surprise me with cookies the other night. It kind of went disastorously wrong as I had gone on one of my midnight walks and Laura didn't hear him knocking. Mikey spotted him as he was through I-walk and asked him what he was doing. Andy told him but begged him not to tell anyone as we weren't at home....yeah it took him two seconds to ring Laura who rang me. So Andy came around as a 'second surprise' when I got back and we had cookies, laughed and a brilliant time. He showed me more ukulele tunes. I also showed him how I had been practicing. And I know it was nowhere near his standard but he very nicely pretended it was good. It was a fun evening.

A Dog - yeah, I just thought you'd find this amusing. In my Eating Disorders class, not only did a couple make out in the front row, the ENTIRE TIME, but there was a small dog in the class two rows behind me. It didn't bark. I only noticed it when we walked out as the girl shuffled out from the row with a small dog clutched in her arms.
