As you know, the Americans take this day very seriously but that doesn´t mean that they don´t work during holidays. We were both at work but that was maybe because they know that we are just the J1 students from Europe.
We were looking forward to this day but unfortunately we didn´t see any fireworks after all. It is not like I like fireworks- actualy I don´t at all because it costs a lot of money and it polutes the air but anyway- The Independence Day in the USA and even in the capital- DC that it just something that we wanted to see.
We agreed with Jamail that he will pick us up in Hard Rock at 11.30pm and then we are gonna party. We were cut on 11.35 so as we thought- it will be just fine because Jamail use to be late. When we got out of HRC it was about 11.40- 11.42pm and Jamail nowhere. We waited for him till midnight and when he didn´t show up we went home- dissapointed and starving.
When we arrived home Jamail wasn´t neither at home so the first thought was that he just forgot about us and went to some party without us.
He came home 10 minutes after us. He was mad that we didn´t wait for him as we planned (which was not true)
Anyway... Eventhough we still don´t know what happened and how we couldn´t see each other we celebrated the July 4th anyway! Our lovely Jamail brought some tequilla and a juice so we got drunk slightly. We danced a little bit and then went out. And because it was kinda late already most of the bars were closed so we just bought pizza at U street and went home. Full and happy :)
I slept for about 3,5 hours and then had to go to work for 14 hours! It wasn´t that bad as it sounds though :)
Hope you are having a good time :) Miss you all! :)
