la fiesta de la facultad d ciencias/friday afternoon thoughts

The following is hard to believe would happen....unless of course, you find yourself in Spain.

Yesterday was the official party of the Science campus of the Uni, so basically all lessons for that day are cancelled in that campus and all the students spend all day drinking and having fun. It normally kicks off at 10AM, and come 11AM you can see literally hundreds of students drunk walking down the street, yes, your eyes are not decieving you, 10AM!
Anyway I had lessons til 5 so after that Tom phoned me as he had been there since dinner time with loads of random chicas salmantinas that he had somehow made friends with so he phoned me to get me to meet them and come on out....
So come 5pm, we go to this place and basically its packed! Everyone is dressed up in the big white science coats (well the people who do science based courses) and we started to drink at 5pm, with some cuba libre y coca cola and started talking to these girls we met, one of them had the best English accent I have ever heard for a Spaniard, infact I couldn't tell she was Spanish until she said, I was like, your parents must be English, but they weren't and I was mightly impressed, she even managed to identify I was Northern and when I said my Mum was Scottish she started telling me how much she loves Scotland also she was probably the only Spanish person I've ever met who had a genuine English accent and not an American one! We swapped details and we're going to meet up to practise languages (not that she really needs to... pero bueno....
Anyway we carried on to la imprensa as el pani was closed and got stuck into some kalimotxo. The night was not that spectacular, it was just wierd thinking that the Uni's actullay kind of support these binge drinking sessions by cancelling lessons advertising them through the Uni, deep down there is probably not a lot they can do, as if they didn't the students would probably just do it themselves. Called it a night at 11 as I was starvinggggggg and I didn't want to stay out too late as Kay is coming today and I imagine I will have to show her about town and stuff so yea.

I also have to go to the estacion de trenes to get my ticket to go to Madrid on the 18th of December in order to go home to the land of; Chris Moyles, gravy, David Beckhams right foot....
