Two weeks left!

After coming back from Capri, Laura and I took my mom to karaoke night at scholars.  We tried to coax her with a couple of drinks to get up on stage and sing but no luck :(  Max and I sang Chicken Fried by the Zac Brown Band and we were definitely the best singers that night.

 Helen and Katy

 Rasella Girls

 Random Italian men that asked me to sing with them

 All the girls on the trip

 We started a countdown, we rip a piece of paper off every day that goes by and throw it across the room. 11 days left!


 We had to go back to class the following week.  Laura and I dread our five hour class more than anything, so to make the week go by a little faster, we usually try to go out one night a week to a bar.  Last week we went to the Drunken Ship, where I met a couple of guys from Scotland and chugged beer with them!  I have Bethlehem to thank for that!


This past weekend, Laura and I made plans with my friends from England to meet up in Palma Mallorca.  It's an island in Spain where a lot of people from England go on their 'holiday'.  There was a mistake while booking our tickets and we accidentally got a flight to Ibiza.. the island right next to Mallorca.  I've always wanted to go to Ibiza, and my friend Aaron went there while he was in Germany, he told me how much he loved it so we decided still go and just visit Mallorca by a ferry.  After we were all packed and ready to go, I got a call from my mom saying there were no ferries. My parents were in Las Vegas, making it a nine hour time difference so planing this trip on my own last minute was the most stressful thing ever.  I found a flight to Mallorca that worked and booked it, Laura went to book hers and they sold out! We decided to still go to Ibiza, once we got to the airport I talked to the ticket desk for Veuling Airlines and she got Laura a ticket to Mallorca!  I was so relieved, everything for this trip was going wrong. 

 On the flight to Ibiza, the guy sitting next to us kept trying to give us bites of his sandwiches and ask where we were staying in Ibiza.  I kept thinking of Taken, especially when he told us his apartment was too big and had a lot of extra room.  He asked for our numbers,  I thought the sequel of taken was beginning.  Laura and me got away though, we were a lot smarter than Liam Neeson's daughter.  When we got to Ibiza, we had six hours till our next flight to Mallorca.  So we ran and got a taxi, checked into our hotel (thanks to the best mom on the planet) showered and caught our flight to Mallorca.

When we got to Mallorca, we got in touch with Ben and found out their flight had engine problems and turned around back to Manchester! Laura and I were stuck in Palma Mallorca with no hotel or anything to go to.  We finally heard that their flight would arrive at 3am, so Laura and I slept like homeless people in the airport till 3am. 

Hating airports...

We eventually met up with Ben and nine of his friends... I haven't been able to see them in almost over two years so I was so glad I was able to visit.  We had so much fun with them for the two days and  the town of Mallorca was absolutely crazy. I've never seen anything like it,  all the of the clubs and bars were opened till 6am on the same strip and each one was packed with people. Everyone visiting the island was from England,  they all dress up for their stag dos and the women... just don't really wear anything.

I broke my camera on the beach so I have barely any pictures to show!

on the beach in Mallorca, Sam and Laura about to start their swim to that far away Island.  And they made it!  This is the last picture before my camera broke :(



Ibiza!

Ben's brother Sam took a lot more pictures...if I can get him to send them I will post them on here!

Now there are only two weeks left, we have our goodbye lunch with the entire group tomorrow and our impossible final exam with five different conjugations on Thursday.  It's going to be a long week :(
