The party don't stop till eight in the mooohnin'


It really doesn't. But I won't go there yet. That picture is my extremelly strong espresso that deepened my voice and put hair on my chest..and back probably.
Yesterday was an eventful, if trying, day. We found out out Spanish clas placement around 12:30 and had a little orientation. When I say little, I mean little...they described the website for 20 minutes then said that the locals won't go to class but we have to. I would go as it is, but he was very weird about it, kind of felt like I was in high school. 
Next we had lunch at very nice restaurant, BC was paying. I don't know how much it was really because Patricia, our guide/host/whatever, payed it. It was called bestial, which is beastial but also like 'awesome'. There is sand in the double paned windows and the tables and chairs are chunky wood and everything else is white and black. The course started off with bread then as part of the special menu you choose essentially an appetizer and entree. I had anchovy and artichoke pizza then beef, the butt part/tailbone. The beef just melted off the bone, it wasd-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. 
Then we decided to go get our spanish phones, there are towo good places aside from the companies themselves: Corte Ingles and Fnac. Corte is the huge department store with every single thing and fnac is a huge electronics department store. They were both in Placa Catalunya, the center of the city, so it worked out. In the end it proved extremelly difficult to do this in a large group, as I thought, but I managed not to stab anyone (or vise versa). When i got back I just relaxed and went to the supermarket to get some more fruit (clementines and kiwis) , I also drink an excessive amount of oj here. Im basiacally a fruit eater. I also got cava wine, which is like their fake champagne....like Andre....and just as cheap if not more. 
Eventually we all pulled ourselves together and went out, four of us (Me, Sam, Julio, and Syndey) walked there its veryy close. Others keep taking when their tired.......pannnnsssiiieeeeesss. We did see one transvestite prostitute, maybe two, one was in a very nice plaid skirt. We got in and luckily had these passes that you in free that night, YAY. It was not full...and this was at 1 0'clock, but it got verrrry full later, crazy nightowls. We all took pretty good care of each other, the Spanish guys weren't as forward as we all expected, and it helps that I dance like my cat on catnip, I think that really kept them away. We finally went home at, I think, around five....my brother can tell you because I talked to him online. I had a glorious night's sleep on my foam mattress, I like to pretend it's memory foam. I also had a glorious shower, and by glorious I am talking about how each room has its own water heater thats lasts for about seven minutes, and longer if you turn it off while you shampoo, condition, and what not. Okay, we are gonna leave soon to go on our free bus tours!!! yayyyy

Adios
