On Thursday Bea invited me to her school for the opening of the Journalism building. I honestly thought it was just going to be a ceremony. Before, I walked to Alcampo to buy a universal card reader because my camera cord wasn't really working and then met up with Bea and her friends. We walked through the new building and then headed straight for Alcampo. I didn't know really what was going on, just followed along. With her group of friends, we bought 5 two-liters of coca-cola, 7 boxes of wine, cups and ice. We walked back to the university to the outdoor auditorium and started to make calimochos.

| Add wine. |

| Add Coca-Cola and you have a calimocho. |
We sat on the steps for about two hours, eating sun flower seeds and drinking calimochos. The square slowly filled up with students and their Alcampo bags full of ice, wine and jamon.

Bea and I left to go to the grocery and got food for dinner because her boyfriend Javi was coming to visit. We got stuff for caesar salad (which they love), ribs, french fries, potatas bravas and supplies for mojitos. Delicious. Javi and I talked about history for pretty much all of dinner. He knows a lot about the history of the U.S. I was impressed.
Then Bea stayed in and I went out with her friends. They picked me up and we continued the botellon in the main plaza and then went to a few bars. Around 5 am I had to call it quits I was so tired, I couldn't even keep my eyes open. I made a few new friends at the bars and danced the whole night to waka waka. I need to build up my endurance though if I am going to last until 7 am like them.
hasta luego,
