Oktobermess Part 2: The Gates Only Open With Blood
So after passing the fuck out on Friday night, we awoke at the beautiful hour of 8ish and struggled to get ourselves together for what could only be an epic day. We wandered into a little pastry shop situation for breakfast where the man, surprise!, didn’t speak any English. We discovered at that point that we speak ZERO german. Fortunately there was a very nice lady in there who helped us and...

I am in pain. my legs hurt, i have mysterious bruises, and i am lacking quite a bit of skin on both feet. why? because we did oktoberfest right. it was messy, it was long, and at times, painful, but it was also AMAZING
i find it highly disconcerting that i did not actually need my passport or any other form of id to leave or enter both barcelona and munich, they didnt even stamp my passport! in...
Lawd have MERCÉ
so from what i understand, living in barcelona means that you pay really high taxes, but that every once and a while the city uses that money to throw a bangin party. well, la merce, the celebration of the patron saint of barcelona, is the biggest party every year. festivities started last night. the metro was open 24 to accomodate and it was jam packed. everyone in the city was out, and everyone...
Soup in a Box.
So i’m waiting for dinner right now because french people only eat 3 times a day. Normally I eat about 7 times a day so I’m literally starving between lunch and dinner. That’s the french secret to being thin.
Anyway, went out to a fun club this weekend with french convo partner and his friends. Stayed out until 630 and now have a stuffy nose. French boys are so weird, i need a...

40 shot night.
last night was pretty average but during the day we went to the garden by the louvre and l’arc de triomphe which was cool cuz we got to the climb to the top and bc we got in free (we have these student id cards that say we’re art history people).
at night we went to this bar/club thing that some of us had gone to last weekend. its weird bc they ID u, i have no idea why. but shots are...
surprisingly, the magic fountain came before the...
so last night was interesting to say the least. it started out with this amazing free fountain/water/light show that was coordinated with music at the base of mt monjuic. it was absolutely beautiful and the sangria we were drinking was delicious. from there we headed to one of our favorite bars even though it was raining (i was the only person of about 20 that had an umbrella what what) and got...
sometimes you have to get naked.
tonight was great. i have this problem where sometimes i may happen to change in front of my window without closing the drapes and the ppl in the flat across the street see me. no big. so tonight they yelled at my friends to “come over and bring the bird (aka me.)” so we went and everyone knew who i was. i’m famous apparently. haha. and i made lots of friends and taught them how...
Paris, je t'aime mais les garcons sont tres...
bonsoir! so i’ve been in paris for almost three weeks now but i’m still getting used to everything. like the millions of doors in the apartment and how the toilet and shower are in separate rooms and how french people only eat three times a day so i’m starving in between lunch and dinner. but that’s why they’re all skinny and why americans are all fat people.

Hola de Barthelona!
Hola amigos! I cant believe that i have only been in barcelona for a week and a half. it literally feels like i have been here forever. flying over barcelona was the most beautiful thing that i have ever seen, its bordered by the Mediterranean ocean on one side and mountains on the other. there are palm trees everywhere which i wasnt expecting but its gorgeous. the architecture here is...
Cheers from Edinburgh!
Hey guys!!!
Scotland is AMAZING! Its gorgeous here and the people are so friendly and the beer is everlasting!
The first few days I was here it rained constantly, I didn’t have internet or phone access, and I was freezing. All I could think is “what the hell have I gotten myself into?” But then it stopped raining, I went to the library and got internet, I got a phone, and...
