So... I am back from a week of indulgence (and drinking far more alcohol than any other liquid). Here is a rundown of my week:
Friday: We arrived in the late afternoon. I got sick and stayed in bed.
Saturday: Walking tour of beautiful Old San Juan. A terrible happening at a super-fancy non-tapas tapas rest. Lets just say they charged us for the water we didn't even ask for. And then I flicked them off. Then we went Salsa dancing and it was much much fun.
Sunday: Concert at Mass and then concert in the evening with the amazing U. of PR choir. After that we went to Senor Frogs which was a hoppin' good time. It was the night which formed the "Freshman Girl Squad" which consists of Kate (The Angry One!), Sarah (Nibbles!), Megan (Chuckles), Ann (The Normal One!), Lara (Knifey!), and Emily (an Emily.) It was fun fun fun.
Monday: A fun day of beaching and shopping and then drinking/chilling at the hotel.
Tuesday: PR Rainforest and San Luquillo beach. It was RAINING (the irony kills me) and cold at the rainforest, but the beach was beautiful. I even saw this local boy riding his horse down the beach, WTF mate? After the beach we went on a pub crawl (bar hop) around Old San Juan.
Wednesday: More beaching/shopping and then the Freshman dinner and trip to Beach Bums bar. DRAMA FOR YO MAMA that night... more than a little craziness.
Thursday: Kate, Sarah and I went to take photos of the fort in Old San Juan and then our final concert (which went well, even though NO ONE CAME TO IT) and then to a fancy shmancy club in Isla Verde. It was fun because I danced with this one SUPER HOT Puerto Ricon GOD all night. Yes for having blue eyes and guys liking that!
Friday: I beached it all day. We had our final dinner (which was absolutely amazing) and then the Freshman Girl Squad went out drinking in Old San Juan. The entire choir sang Tollite on the beach at midnight too. I then spent the rest of the night hanging out with people I hadn't chilled with too much. It was exciting to actually be without the other girls and have lots of fun with others. Woah, did I just say that?!?!?!
Saturday: I bought a really ugly tacky bag for my alcohol and some ponchos... because I am crazy. And then we had the long journey home.
All in all, it was a much much much much better trip than I had first expected. I became really tight with some new people and thats awesome, I took some great pictures of San Juan (which is really awesome), and I did a lot of AWESOME shopping. There was a great vintage store there and I bought tons of stuff. I am crazy. I also bought a poncho for me and one for Kendall HA. And I bought this awesome photo for Eric. Speaking of Eric...
I didn't hook up with anyone on this trip. Now you all may be thinking, so? Well here is the thing: it was not for lack of options. There were many many many options. Some very attractive options to say the least. But I really like Eric a lot. Which is something I don't do. What the hell? I even became pretty close with this very attractive guy on the trip, we stayed up talking until like five in the morning on Friday night just talking, but NOTHING HAPPENED. Because that's how much I like Eric. Seriously, when he called me on Thursday, I almost had a heart attack because of how happy I was. This feeling is very... odd and new and scary. I haven't really liked someone since... well I don't know when since Pat and I just -fell- into a relationship and it ended up working out. Maybe Andy? So like two years? Well he doesn't get back until Tuesday but I am already excited to see him.
Another thing about Puerto Rico: I was hit on more there than my entire life. Times about six. I was hit on SO much. By every person you could think of; at restaurants, on the street, at the concerts, BY POLICE MEN, by anyone. It was ridiculous and a bit unnerving, but made me feel... okay, haha. Sounds trashy I know, but it was nice to get the attention. For a little while. Then it was gross. But whatever!
Now I have SO much work to do and SO many errands to run. Ughhh I don't want to take all my tests this week! Boooo! But Keez is coming this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY FOR KEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay- I haven't slept in like forever and I am still tired because my body woke me up at seven so this post probably doesn't make ANY sense. So too bad for you.
