The Nasty Squirrels

Yesterday I had another funny night! First, at five o'clock, Julia and I met at Diana's apartment to study for English a bit, it was hilarious and we found out about some of our weaknesses too. Then we wanted to do something special: After talking weeks about it, we finally managed to go to the quiz night at the Office Pub. Although we arrived there at about seven o'clock we didn't get a table - no problem we just moved over to the bar and found just the right number of stools for us. There the bar tender - Spencer - happily welcomed us and explained the rules of the quiz. We listened carefully since we are the so-called "Virgins" and ordered drinks - Guinness, of course, and Cider, which is a mixture of beer and, as we would call it in Austria, "Apfelmost. (We also order some crisps - the honey barbecue flavor tastes great!) During the time we made ourselves comfortable Spencer gave us some useful hints on what's important to know for the quiz. But he also kept us entertained with jokes and "magic tricks" (he made us rub our breasts in order to "magically" move a straw on the bar move...). He's a very nice person!

Who we are: The Nasty Squirrels

* Julia

* Diana

* Alexander

* Sabrina

* Kathi

* Elisabeth

* Jasmin

Then it was about to begin and we were really excited and also baffled by the questions. They were really difficult and covered questions from almost all topics like music, general knowledge, movies, sports, geography, chemistry, politics, ... I think we were quite good at politics, because we knew a lot of the American presidents.

I can say that we really had a great time and we constantly spoke English and made a lot of jokes which has been a great experience! The best thing was that we actually knew a lot and gained enough points - so we won second place among the virgins! Isn't that great?! We almost couldn't believe it! We won a round of shots and of course we got the glory and besides, we made a name of ourselves: The Nasty Squirrels

Spencer seemed to be very proud of us and this quiz really brought us together - we promised to meet again next Tuesday...
