A dollar 10 cent Euros

SO, I have finally left Rome to continue on with the next 5 weeks of my study abroad program in Salamanca Spain. The night we were leaving Rome, everyone decided to go out and have a great time together. I of course was mingling with everyone, bouncing back and forth between groups of people since many of my friends are in different clicks, when Sam decided she was incredibly intoxicated and needed to cleanse her body for lack of a better word. So we rush to the bathroom, cut all the other girls on the line and she begins to throw up. She manages to scratch her eye on something and insists her contact is in her eye. So she begins scratching and poking at it, throws up a couple times on the way home and ends up in the bathroom sick to her stomach for most of the night. She manages to sleep for about 30 minutes but then it was time for us to get on the bus and leave and she throws up on the bus also. The goodbyes were sad im not going to lie, i miss all the kids that i bonded with going to Paris, Chris Denz, Chelsea Rath, Robert Kunicki, and Greg Kortez, but i know this will not be the last time i see them since i grew close with them quickly. The journey to Salamanca was a horrible one, a plane ride for 2 hours then a 2 hour bus ride then a walk to our residence house. Me and Sam live on the 4th floor in room 320, the furthest room from everything and everyone, but i kind of like it. Our room was not clean when we first got here but the cleaning ladies managed to get it done quickly. They then took us for pizza what seemed miles away. We were all starving so we dug in quickly. After that Mike and Ryan decided to go to the store, and i tagged along.... so we ended up lost for about 2 hours and finally made it back to the residence. That night we decided to check out the night life and i had my first absinthe shot, Diablo Verde. SHIT BURNS GOING DOWN but you get pretty warm inside. Yesterday morning we had orientation, got to see where my classes are and all that jazz and realized i have to do 2 hours of service a week. I will be teaching english to spanish speaking people. I am honestly very excited to be working with people teaching them english. I go on Mondays and Tuesdays. My classes here are spanish and ethics... im excited and anxious about my classes but we will see what the future holds for them. So last night we went out to get a few drinks. Me and Eunice downed 2 shots of Absinthe, a liter of sangria, and then went and got free champagne from the club promoter. The music was great techno beats and everyone was just dancing up on one another. It was nice no one was really fighting or arguing, no tension or anything... really a great night. At about 3 am we decided to leave the Club and we went to get Schwarma, almost like Kebab, but BETTER.... an awesome end to a great official first night in Spain <3
