My 21st in Spain

Yet again....here I am in the computer lab. *****pix coming soon!!!!*****
* on campus with Waleska Feb 28th.....just before celebrating my bday ;)

Since no one goes out at night until like 2am....we celebrated my birthday on what felt like Weds night/ Feb 28th....but actually it was technically my bday before we ever left to go out.

I had class in the evening...then went to Waleska/Michael/Sebastian/Ramona´s apartment. Our Dietram & our 3 friends from Slovakia also came over. We all congregated in the kitchen (for some odd reason we always hang out in their kitchen even though the living room is much bigger)....Waleska made sure that I never ran out of something to drink....In Michael´s words ¨It´s not a question of whether you want to or not....it´s a requirement¨.....meaning I am required to drink because it´s my 21st bday.... of course i wasn´t opposed.

we all talked about how 21 is a big bday in the states and 18 is the big day here....but they celebrated it with me as if it were important :).

At midnight we opened up the bottle of Cider that Waleska bought in Asturias to celebrate/ make a toast for my bday.

at around 130 we were out the door and on our way to Georgraphic (the name of the club we go to every wednesday for the Erasmus parties).....before geographic we stopped at OpenCor (like a late night Longs open til 2am) to buy something to drink on the way. Us girls shared a carton of Sangria....only 1.50€ whic is like less than $2... it takes about 20 mins to walk from their apartment to geographic....but the walk is half the fun. when we got to geographic waleska asked me if i was ready for my surprise....i had no idea what she had done......

her and our friend Abel (who works as a Head Promotor for Geographic and some other locations in Coruna) had a Chocolate Mousse Cake with Candles ´21´for me. Everyone sang me happy birthday in the middle of the club. It was a nice surprise :). We had a lot of fun....dancing and hanging out. I also met a lot of cool people. After geographic was closing...we (a group of maybe 10) went to the beach which is less than a block away for a bit. After, I was at home by 6am.

All in all my birthday was a lot of fun :)!
