Friday, Saturday, & Sunday

Friday:
It was pretty boring. I was so sad that my mom and aunt were gone. I already missed them when I woke up at 3pm on Friday. (yes, I was pretty exhausted.) I didn't really do much of anything on Friday until it was time to go out. Amit, Andrea, and I headed to botellon and enjoyed talking for an hour or two. We decided to go looking for a group of other international students, but we couldn't find the bar they were in. We ran into someone we had met a few weeks ago and ended up going to a club with them. We hadn't drank much, so we got tired quickly and headed home pretty early.

Saturday:
I slept in yet again. That's what weekends are good for, right? (and every other day of my life here in Spain haha) Around 6pm, Hannah and I met up to go to Mercadona to buy some things for her birthday fiesta at Emma's apartment. Emma's host madre offered to throw Hannah a little party and invite everyone over to celebrate. We headed to Emma's around 7 to meet up with everyone else. Emma's host mother is a very interesting lady. She told us dirty jokes in Spanish that we didn't understand because we don't know slang vocabulary, and lots of other things that host madres don't usually say. She also really liked this one phallic balloon and kept hitting everyone with it. It was an extremely entertaining and strange party. After we left there around 10ish, Amit, Hannah, and I went to the bar attached to the hotel my mom stayed in for a glass of wine. After that, we went home to get ready to go out all night. We met up with Drew at Plaza Espanya and headed on the bus de nit to paseo. We did botellon for a while, of course attracting creepers along the way. One of the most interesting stories was when two guys, one short and about 50 and the other tall and 21, approached us to "practice English." The older one introduced his friend like this, "This is my friend Tony. He is a player....(long pause, during which we all laughed) .. of tennis." Hannah and I talked while Amit and Drew talked to the creepers. I still don't understand why they were together. We went into one of the clubs to dance and had so much fun. We headed back around 5ish.

Sunday:
Guess what I did most of the day? ... slept! I woke up around 3pm and did absolutely nothing.. until about 8pm when Amit sent me a message and asked if I wanted to go to a bar with some other international students. I quickly got dressed, ate dinner, and headed out to meet them. We went to a bar that specializes in international beers, especially from Belgium. The guys that wanted to go there are from Belgium, so that is why we went there. It was so much fun! I wish every night here could be like that. None of us had any clue what the Belgian beers tasted like, so they asked us what we usually prefer and picked out different types for us to try. I loved the two different types they picked for me. We had great conversation about documentaries, school, politics, and everything in between. It was one of my favorite times here in Palma. I went home later than I should have and finished up some homework before heading to bed.
