September 14-19

Friday...What a crazy day! Let's see After our thursday night extravaganza it was time for some sleeping in and some SHOPPING! So we started out day by walking to Las Ramblas around 4 o'clock. From there we began the journey through every store there. haha...you guys think i'm a shopper you should meet my roomate! She gets SO excited about shopping. It's crazy in the shopping district, there are so many opportunities for free entertainment. You can't walk down the street without stopping every 10 feet to watch a performance. It is so amazing. I could just walk around there for hours without spending a dime and have the time of my life. Well one of these shows was a these young dancers in a store. Called Piwkie. They had like 4 HOT people wearing there clothes dancing on the second level, getting there dance on. Video will be on Facebook and hopefully here. So of course we went in the store and I got some EUROPEAN CLOTHES. Umm...so I'm losing weight, I fit into a large here! First time since like 7th grade! I'm so excited.

Friday Night...Not the most exciting night of my life. My friend Mike's sister was visiting for the weekend so we went to his room and pregammed until like 130 then we went to port olimpic (beach strip of clubs) and hit up Catwalk club. There we walk in and my good friend Emily meets this HOT french guy (who doesn't speak english or spanish) but as we all know he does know 'french' so two minutes after saying hello and dancing there MAKING OUT! Then her roomate Lindsey Ms. Innocent starts making out with this guy Brian from CEA. I mean like 20 mins at least in the club. It was so funny, Julia and I are just dancing our asses off and making it fun for Carly (Mike's sister). Then Andy shows up and we go down to the bars and all of us have a few beers then go back to the residencia around 4am. I was so wasted I just went to sleep and the rest of them went to Mike's room. I was SO hungover! NO puking though! GO ME! Haven't yet!

Saturday...Now you might think all we do is party but when we have a free day/time we fill it up. We woke up at 1 and called Emily and Lindsey from there we went to Barceloneta (beach) and took the gandala (cable cars) over the city to Parc de Montijuic. I've been there before but we arrived at sunset and it was SO perfect watching the sunset and sitting at the cafe drinking sangria and eating jamon y queso. It was awesome. From there we went to the Magical Fountain. It's in la placa de Espanya. It is IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE. But it's like a row of small fountains leading up to this HUGE fountain that lies at the bottom of a huge mansion/art gallery. Between 930-12 there is a light and music show. They coreograph the fountain to different music. It was amazing...then some people did like a fire throwing show. It was just one of the best parts of Barcelona so far. We had emily, me, julia, lindsey, mike, carly, and jill there. From there we went home...

Saturday Night...went to Pippermint this cute bar about 15 minutes from my house and it was already one and they close at 3. So all of CEA was there and we of course took over the bar and started dancing. It was super fun, but it was chill compared to friday and thursday. Then we decided to go to a club but we lost the group so like 10 of us took the metro home from there. It was HILARIOUS. We got to hang out with our man Casey and Al. They are pretty hilarious and I talked to these two random Spanish guys in the street and had like a ten minute convo about how drunk Americans get. I defended us. haha but I was tipsy so who knows how good I did! haha...then we just decided fuck it were going home. at 4 am! Bummer.

Sunday...Beach all day. Julia got a back massage from the Chinese women that walk around. 15 minutes for 5 Euro. It is crazy. We bought some beers off the random beer vendors that walk around. So we were tipsy and getting some sun. By that night, my lack of sleep had caught up with me though so I said FUCK that and at ten o'clock I went to sleep.

Monday...Class at 1230. Ran some errands. Nothing really. At like 10 our neighbors Joy and Natalie were like "You guys coming out with us?" Julia swore up and down she wouldn't go but i was like Sure, WTF! haha...so I wrote an essay in like 10 minutes and then got ready. I was dressed to impress or get undressed if you know what I'm saying. So we got there and it was free shots if you knew the party organizer, which i do, so i got 6 free tequila shots and danced the night away. at like 330 they finally kicked everyone out. I got to meet a ton of people and dance, it was one of my fav. nights. I was wasted but my roomate was fucked up! we went home with some cuties we met and a little making out but they were kind of annoying so at like 5am, I was like PEACE OUT! Hailed a cab, came home and slept for two hours and went to my 9am class! Let's just say, I was hating myself in the morning but I went!!! haha...

Well tuesday was a take it easy day, took a 3 hour nap and still went to bed at 12. Bought plane tickets, booked hostels, planned another trip!

I fucking love Spain...hope your enjoying my blogs! Let me know if I need to change anything up.
