Portugal Weekend. Yikes.

9/8

My dick. Anyways, um today was cool. Woke up at 1, notttt feeling great. Popped some Advil, sacked up, and moved 10 inches up to my chair to type up that last entry. Huge effort. A little before 2 Carmen comes into my room and asks me if I want pan con mis hamburguesas, and I went What. Hambuguesas. Yes please. Literally couldn’t think of anything better for being hungover than homemade cheeseburgers. I was so happy. Later on me and Tanner went to a café to get our internet on, met Haley, Megan, and Sarah there. We were there for like 2 hours and the staff there looked like they were getting pissed at us so we left after that, went over to the Plaza de Anaya, where there was like a gypsy-run puppet show and there were mad little kids and their parents there. Little kids speaking Spanish is the cutest thing ever. We all chilled on a little mini quad there, it was perfect out, jchillin on the grass it was so great. Anyways, after that we headed back to the casa for dinner, dinner was god damn hilarious. Carmen fuckin went OFF on Chinese people, she fuckin HATES them. Oh my god it was so funny. We were talking about mystery meat at Chinese restaurants and she goes (translated of course), “yeah, and when Chinese people die, where do they go? When normal people die I know where they go, theres a funeral and they get cremated, where do Chinese people know? I’ve never seen it”. We were geeeeeeekin out oh my god. And then she was giving AJ shit because he always slams doors, especially when he’s drunk. She was like “what do you do at your house? Do you not have doors at your house?” Then he goes to demonstrate that he can close a quietly, he closes the door, and then like sorta under her breath but loud enough for Tanner and I to hear she goes “what was that earthquake?” She is hilarious I am really glad she is our madre. After dinner AJ, Kelsey, Megan, and I went to meet some kids at the Plaza Mayor, there was a big ol concert goin on so we went to the Plaza de Anaya and met a bunch of other kids and we just kinda chilled. We talked about Portugal, it is going to be absurd. Arite kids I gotta pack for this trip. Buenas Noches

Peace, Love, and Heads Up Portugal

“On a scale of 1 to 4^th of July, how American do we look right now?”- AJ. Quote of the week. So we had class, learned about bars and restaurants etc etc who cares. We had lunch then rolled out to the bus stop for the Portugal trip. Drive was 6 hours, real long, because we were going to Lisbon which all the way on the east coast of Portugal. On the way there we pre-gamed the pre-game, aka we got drunk on a bus. We got to the hotel, walked in to the lobby to check in, Drew grabbed a Portuguese newspaper and sat there smiling and reading, hilarious. We got to our rooms, changed, and started to pregame again in a room. That got a little rowdy, we played Never Have I Ever, found out some goooodd stuff.  Went to the metro, some dude in the train had a purple marker and was just tagging shit all over the car, fuckin weird. The bar area was coolish I guess, I don’t remember a whole lot, we met some Portugese kids they were cool. Everyone there speaks English but not Spanish it was pretty weird but cool I guess. I got really mad at someone, I get way to riled up when I'm drunk I need to chill out. Like, hindsight, I really need to chill. Fuck. Ummmm I don’t really know what else happened that night, we kinda just chilled there maybe. I should drink less. When we got back to the hotel we kept drinking, went to Glenn and Carl’s room and Glenn was already passed out on his bed, he started saying random Spanish words at us in his sleep. Umm so then people started going to bed. I should drink less.

Woke up at like 9:30 because we were leaving at 10 to go to Sintra, a place with palaces and stuff. My left eyebrow area hurt when I woke up so I went to look in the mirror and it was fuckin swollen and huge, I had like a black eye above my eye. I have NO idea how that happened. Like pretty sure I’d remember getting in a fight, so like either Glenn kicked me in the head, or I got beat up in my sleep, I do not know but it fuckin hurt. I should drink less. Go downstairs for breakfast definitely still drunk with a huge eye, no one else knows how it happened either. We all thought we were gonna go to the beach so we were all wearing super American bathing suits and stuff, didn’t quite work out. After a fuckin way too long bus ride where I passed out even though the bus is super uncomfortable, we get to the beach and it is raining a little and cloudy and shit. Only Carl and Amy went and the rest of us went to Sintra to see palaces, best decision ever. When we got there Sebastian our “tour guide” basically said “Alright here we are, be back here at 6:30, kbye.” So we didn’t really know where we were going at all, wandered around til we found a map and then people started to scatter. I decided to stay with Kelsey W, Claire, Olivia, and Sarah because I kinda just needed a break from some people on the trip. Another great decision. I hadn’t really hung out with those girls other than Kelso and they are super funny. We found this big mansion with like a bunch of area behind it with fuckin awesome stuff to see and do. There were these caverns that were like pitch black and we had to flash our cameras to see where we were going, felt like we were in Saw. But it was so cool, I will put the pictures up on Facebook. Everything there was so cool I am so glad I went with those girls and went to that place it was soooo cooooool. After a couple hours there we went back to the lil shops and I found the cooooooolest hat I had to get it. Pics are on facebook. Check it out. #getatme. We went back to the hotel and I napped pretty hard. A couple of us went out to dinner, we found a little place but me, Tanner, Megan, and Sam were not stoked on it so we went somewhere else. It was in a hotel I think, the restaurant was called amo.te. It was pretty awesome, Tanner and Sam got sick sliders, and I had a salad with crab and shrimp and stuff in it it was mad good. All the food here is so good it’s insane. Ima be fat as shit. So afterwards we went back to the hotel to pregame. Once again I was just swigging out of my shitty vodka. I had a liter of vodka this weekend. I should drink less. Anyway the pregame was funny as shit again. Then we played Hot Seat which was fucking terrifying. It is everyone grilling you for like a minute and you drink every time you have done whatever weird thing they say. Tanner was hilarious he was like “have you ever stuck a finger in your butt when you were feeling squirrelly”. Good stuff. Eventually we went out to try to find a club, we heard about a place called Lux that was supposed to be sick, but when we got there the bouncers were like “its 240 euros to get in.” Bro, just tell us we can’t come in, don’t fuckin gimme that bullshit. That was fucking annoying. We met some girls from Israel who were pretty cool, and we saw them again the next day. I should drink less. Um then like a bunch of drunk stuff happened, we tried to find another club, went to the docks, they were filled with old people, Glenn got almost stabbed, Drew spent 10 euro on 2 beers, we got back to the hotel and hung out and did drunk things, someone fell asleep in the hallway, I owe Alexa money because I didn’t hook up with anyone, etc etc. Damn that was long, my bad.

Peace, Love, and I should drink less

Ok so I forgot to mention in the last two entries that in Portugal, all drugs are decriminalized, so if you got busted with any it is just a fine. So walking on the streets, literally every 7 minutes some dude walking towards us would go “Cocaine, hashish, marijuana?” and would hold it out for us to see. The first time it happened I legitimately laughed at him. Nah dude, I’m good, its 1:30 in the afternoon. Sunday we checked out of the hotel and went to see some more statues and a like church thing. They were cool, all the statues in Lisbon are fucking enormous. There are pics on fbook. We wandered around the church/museum for a while, there was a whole like wing of this place that had a ton of Egyptian artifacts, mummies and art and jewelry and stuff. Egypt must be pissed at everyone for taking all of their artifacts and history, they’re everywhere but Egypt. After that we grabbed some lunch and then started the 7 hour bus trip home. Not very comfortable. Everyone was so tired and delirious that it was actually pretty funny. It was me, both Kelseys, Amanda, Drew, AJ, and Carl in the back just being retarded and delirious, it was pretty funny. We came up for a nickname for someone. Its Peter. Hahahahaha. We would call it out on the bus and he wouldn’t respond. Nothing else really happened, we stopped in some town because the bus driver needed a break or some shit, there was no one there. We got home at like 10 and had dinner and just fell asleep.

Peace, Love, and Peter. Hey, Peter. Hey! PETER. Peter never answers me dude

Today was pretty standard. I think I am getting sick though. That would suck. I should drink less. Anyway, yeah we just had class, the other class got more homework, we don’t really have any. After class was lunch and siesta. Siesta is so clutch I can’t even stand it. America needs to sack up and allow that. After siesta we worked on our presentation for Thursday, should be pretty facil. We are trying to go out, sort of, tonight because it is AJ’s birthday. He is turning 21, but in Europe where it doesn’t matter, but it is still pretty cool. I’m not trying to drink too much because I don’t want to get more sick, which always friggin happens to me. We are trying to watch Monday Night Football here, it’s the Pats, but it starts here at 1 AM and it probably won’t be on anywhere. Whatever. Uhhh yeah that is about all. Needed a pretty chill day after this weekend. Oh, apparently Tanner met some hot Spanish chick in the elevator of our apartment and she said we should all hang out with her and her roommates, so that is pretty sick. If I hook up with a Spanish girl I will fucking cry. I’d be so happy. There are a tonnnn of hot girls here. I guess it’s ok here. Update- Ajs 21^st bday was kind of a bust. No one really came out, I’m the only one that stayed with him the whole time, and I’m getting sick. We drank and watched tennis at a bar with some people, they left slowly. Then we went to McDonalds in Spain. Guess what they call a McChicken in Spanish. It rhymes with McPollo. Its McPollo.
Peace, Love, and McPollo
