Hellooo Basketball Players

Tonight we made friends with part of the Oviedo basketball team. I also have class in 3 hours. Oops.

Thursday nights are the best nights to go out cause we always make friends then. There are less crazy people out and overall it is much more chill. I usually don't go out on Thursday cause I have a raging 2 hour art history class at 9am on Friday, but since we were celebrating Em's birthday I figured it was a special occasion! I'm going to hate myself in about 2 hours, but oh well haha!

We were at B-12, the Erasmus (exchange student) bar owned by an ESN guy, and were just hanging out when we noticed probably the only tall guys in Oviedo. Guys in Spain are generally short, so when you find one that is over 6'0", it is pretty much a miracle. There were 3 of them all standing together, so naturally we made friends with them. Turns out they play for the Oviedo basketball team (stereotypical, right?! haha). They are the only 3 members on the team from the US, and apparently we were the first Americans they had met in their 6 months here. I don't know how that's possible because I feel like there are tons of Americans here, but I guess they're probably pretty busy guys. They are all significantly tall, like 6'8", it was great! haha. We talked for a while and B-12 closed around 4, so we went to another club. 2 of the guys had left, so it was just Will (one of the basketball players), Me, Laura, Chloe, Goksu, and Nacho. Nacho is our friend who goes to school in Gijon, and when we ask him to come out with us he is always happy to hop on the train to Oviedo and spend the night hanging out! He is hilarious and speaks very little English, but we are teaching him! Anyways, we danced at the other club for a while until I finally decided I needed to go home. It was a lot of fun, and Will was great! He is a good head taller than anyone else in the club, and he was totally down to have a good time-even when his friends went home he stayed with us to dance and hang out! We were all having a good time and dancing and just being ourselves, and Will was not afraid to show off some silly moves, so he fit right in with us haha. We told him we would go to his last home basketball game next weekend, and he said to cheer loud for him so that he could hear us! Aye, Aye Captain, can't wait!
