So today was a day that kind of day that people have said "if you play with fire you are going to get burned...."
During the day today I attempted to get work done, but Enrique kept bugging me with juice boxes and cute comments. I hate when guys are so good with their words like calling you darling and rubbing their fingers down your cheek. It gets to girls.
Erin and I did our Letuca lunch. We sat there forever and just chatted. "Rather waste some time with you." kind of day. I have been listening to the Used lately. I feel asleep to that song playing on Steve's computer the first night I was here, and that was my favorite song during one of the happiest summers of my life. But I love my lunches with Erin. We relate on so many levels and that is why she is amazing! I went home and attempted to nap but a local guy we will call Burton (cuz he promised me he would give me his shirt after I leave) called to hangout. He is a local and I get the best learning experiences with locals so i was like why not. He picked me up in his car and we had a great conversation. But in the end I know I am nothing to him. But I don't want to be because in reality i still have feelings for my ex. But he rode me home on his scooter and I felt like Hilary Duff and Paolo in the Lizzie McGuire movie and I could sea the sea in the background and we sped in and out of traffic and it was the perfect European ride. It was the most gorgeous ride. And Burton's house was so nice, contemporary and modern. His brother was a sweetie and blond as well.
And I was supposed to go out with the girls tonight but I decided to go on a date (yet I paid for most my meal) with Wendy. We went to the coolest Catalan restaurant that had amazing food, and it was fun. I ate the best grilled chicken and it was one of the most amazing meals I have had here. We walked and he drove me to one of the most beautiful spots in Barcelona. We offroaded up the mountain of Tibedado. The monastery was glowing yellow and the Ferris wheel was glowing all different colors and it was like we were in a music video. The view was gorgeous. It didn't even feel like we were in Barcelona anymore. Just a quiet woodsy look out point with the stars out, the sea in the back and the whole city glowing below us. It was perfect. And i was having a blast listening to akon driving through the hilly narrow roads at night.
But the situation was taken too far in the end. He assumed all girls are easy and I was one of them. I honestly don't feel comfortbale kissing people in private locations (not on the dancefloor) ect at this point in my life. But he was just very pushy but nice at the same time. I hate that I was so naive and i hate pushy guys.
I don't want to get into it, but I played with fire and got burned.
I will move on, but something positive is I saw the prettiest view of the city. I don't know. I love it here. But I hate how guys only want a piece of ass. Even my ex back home from high school is like "i loveyour boobs" and its so sad they cant love more. its like a slap in my face.
Greece Tomorrow.
I can not wait.

April 2, 2009 THURSDAY
Currently working on our Greecian beach bodies by eating cookies.
I want the rain to go away.
And I hate arragonace...
But the Girls and Pan make me laugh.
and a couple sweet texts help!

obsessed still :) I love how the past 3 months this is all I sing.
But yesterday Abba Dancing Queen was on the radio! That makes me so happy! And they are like "this song is so popular".. Jazz would have been so pumped...
But this song is addicting. My senora said everyone is Barcelona knows the lyrics. Dad would love it! Its addicting:)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zvz2GJaIqI
And I was upset tonight so my senora let me play my music at dinner. No more Bob Dylan haha. She was obsessed there for a while. And she liked Every Avenue and Three days grace... But her favorite was LFO....And She wanted to take me to a movie cuz i was upset ( over dumb boys haha, and stress, and I can't believe classes are getting done!) We actually get full conversations out that flow, and we just know what we are saying. I love it.
And I was bummed so Enrique came and we drove around and talked. We talked about politics, and like Luis he can speak so many languages. He is completely fluent in 5! How!? I have no idea! But we talked about the Spanish government, and how he is proud to be Spanish and doesn't want Barcelona to split. We talked about Pepe and Zapapto, and global warming. It was so deep. We worked on my Spanish, and he taught me slang like "tio". It's weird how guys say te amo in the conversation.
I love how intelligent guys are here! It was amazing just sitting there having full conversations with him. And he has seen the world. He has traveled everywhere, and knows so much about American culture. The past two weeks I have been sucking up the Spanish language....And I use my Spanish sources. When I am confused Luis will help me figure it out!
At Pan today we ate cookies and muffins. The girls pigged out together. It was amazing. That is how we roll with our spring break bodies:) We went to the store and bought booze and shit food and at pan had a thanksgiving fest! I can't wait for greece. AHHH IOS, ATHENS AND SANTERINI. and I HEARD IOS IS AMAZING!
Lainey and I walked to the fountains and Olympic Stadium. We found the Barcelona Penis:) Gotta love artwork!
I AM GETTING SOOOOO EXCITED :)
Its one am and Maria Rosa just brought me Pan con Chocolate! wtf so unhealthy. but amazing. I am hooked, damn white carbs. And pan con tomatoe is sooo good!
AND I GOT A PART TIME INTERNSHIP:) and its paid:) The night is becoming even better:)
I want the rain to go away.

Mon 30-April 1st, brief!
So my life has been chaotic, but amazing. Mallorca was the perfect pre spring break away, and it was so much fun. I will attempt to blog that, but I haven't even gotten to switzerland haha! whoops!:)
so i will bullet point my past couple days and potentially fill in the blanks later.
Monday: NASTY MONDAYS.
We first pre pregamed at Erin's friend's hostel. It was amazing, and just like a party inside a nice hotel. There was wii, a bar, computers, fun music, and lamps! It was amazing! I love hip hostels. So far my experiences have not been that great! Steve and I had a sketch night, and we scared the Swiss lady away with our farts and nudity! Then we pregamed at pepe's and went to the best club in town. I got a glass dropped on my foot and it bled, but it was still an amazing rock club experience. Nasty Monday's are defiantly a highlight of Barcelona! I LOVE NASTY MONDAY'S. It is full of locals, and everyone from our program goes aswell. So it is a perfect blend. A girl from Sweden bought me two drinks!
Tuesday:
A day of Pan :) enough said

Barcelona has too many distractions.
and my teacher was right when he said you can't get anything done in the city.
but i love it
and i am happy,
Wednesday
Today was the last day of my favorite class. I am failing it because of my skipping of midterm, but no matter what I laugh so hard in it. All my memories of school here will include Spanish. A bunch of burnout partiers, and fun personalities. Today we had to do our oral and Jody, Erin and I created the best one. Especially with Pan con Tomate. The best part of my day was lunch. Katie, Erin, Jody and I, "The friends group" had an hour and a half lunch at Lechuga. We cried laughing so hard. We reminisced, and planned. Most was about Spanish, and Katie's confusion on confusion, and Jody's crushes, and Erin's obsession with squid ink. NEVER EAT BLACK RICE. "It's so popular here-Erin" that is because it is squid ink.
NASTY.
IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST TIME I HAVE HAD WITH MY GIRLS
Class was super short, and since tomorrow is the last official day of all classes, my life is going to hell with finals, but spring break Greece is shoved in there. And i miss Natalie today. I hung out with Luis in his office today for two hours, (that was productive haha). We listened to music, and he helped me with my pronunciation and attempted to teach my Chinese. Didn't work. He wrote all over my hands in Chinese. How the hell does he speak four languages. I will never know:) And he sends me cute texts and it does make me smile. I hung out with his friends today and they spoke English around me, and made me feel like I was part of the bunch! At Pan tonight gas was a problem. But I got my pan con tomate! And with out gas we are saving heat to erase our carbon footprint!
I am going to start exercising. And learning a language. mebe:)
有一个伟大的夜晚
This has been the best week ever. I can't explain it:) I have almost peed my pants laughing everyday. From Spanish memories, to dumb comments, to grunts, and stares. Almost everything is going perfect. I wish I had my choad, vortex and a few things from home (yes you too mom :) ), but I can't explain the happiness and freedom I have here. And I don't miss things like I thought I would. And If i do, for more I am happily coping:)
