Ouch.

I got in a fight with the water pitcher last night. It won....

Yesterday was interesting, to say the least haha. It started with a lovely day with Carmen and a visiting professor from UO, Luis. Luis is very nice, and I enjoyed getting to talk to him about study abroad programs, language programs, and university politics haha. We road the bus into Gijon together, where we met Carmen. Carmen drove us around and showed us some things I had never seen before! Being 21, the only thing I had ever done in Gijon was go to the beach, naturally. Carmen took us to the old Roman baths, and then to the university and the ethnographic museum. All of the things we saw were really interesting, and it was really cool to actually take in some of the culture besides topless oldies and guys in speedos on the beach. We went to lunch at an italian restaurant that was really good, and I got fettuccine with cheese sauce, of course :) It was a great day, and at the end Luis and I rode the bus back together, then went our separate ways.

Last night, Rio and I decided to go out together. Rio is fun to go with out with, cause she is always down to do whatever! I love all my friends here, but when I'm in the mood to rage hard, Rio's my girl! We bought a fifth of cheap vodka (I'm going to miss only paying 5 euros for a fifth...) and some coke, and walked over to the plaza by the cathedral where everyone drinks outside. Supposedly you aren't supposed to drink outdoors, but Spaniards seem to consider that more of a guideline. Therefore, Fridays and Saturdays this plaza is usually packed with twenty-something year olds and half full bottles of hard A. We sat there for a while and people watched, saying hi to those we know. A beggar set up a band next to us, so after drinking a bit of our concoctions we danced and sang. Or I danced and sang..oops. We took a walk, looking for this one club I like that I can never find. We walked up and down all the streets and I came to the conclusion that it must have moved, which seemed like a logical explanation. We went to seek out another club we like, Green. This one we successfully found! We stood outside to finish our cokes, and the guys outside made friends with us. They didn't speak English, so we taught them some crucial words while we finished our drinks. Then we went inside, but after chugging the 2nd half Rio wasn't feeling too good. Needless to say, we ended up leaving soon afterwards and walking home. Rio lives the opposite way of me, but she was a mess so I walked her my direction. We were going to go get Doner Kebab (only place open past 12), but of course we took the wrong way. I started to worry about Rio, so I put her in a taxi and forced her address out of her. After making my way home, I decided I was going to go get water, but the water container fell out of my hand and smashed all over the floor. It was awful. It was also 4:30am and I was trying to be quiet. Oops. There was glass and water everywhere, and I'm sure it would have been hilarious watching me try to clean it all up while highly intoxicated... I did my best, got cut a few times, and probably actually did a really terrible job. I heard someone get up right after I closed my door, so I feel really bad that I woke up Marisa or Lucia, and made a huge mess. Plus destroyed their water pitcher. I'm about to go buy another one. Marisa was gone this morning, so I left a note, but I feel really bad! Plus the stupid cuts all over my fingers are annoying as hell. Note to self: don't play with glass after a night out.

Today I'm studying in a cafe, then Rio and I are going to get some Doner Kebab. It's probably a terrible idea, since it is actually really kind of gross, and only a good idea when you are drunk. But we are both craving it after last night, so I'm hoping for the best! Afterwards, Em and I are going to go to the movies since we won those free tickets! Still haven't decided which one, but I'll post about it later! Tomorrow I've got to study since I need to do better on this next set of tests in order to keep a reasonably high GPA for when I get back to the good old US of A.
