Care Package and Foam Party

I''ve been neglecting my blog lately but I haven't had free moments to go online and have "me time." The other day the mailman came and brought me ANOTHER package! Although I knew this one was coming, it was still a nice surprise from my parents. I got everything I wanted from home; Boston Sox hat, sneakers, oreos and kraft mac&cheese! Basically what every college wants.


Thanks Mom and Dad

Last night (Wednesday) the club Cuba was throwing a foam party. A few of the girls and I decided to try it out and had a great time! I thought it was going to be wet and dirty and people falling all over the place, which is what happened but it turned out to be OK. As we got ready, the first of the nightly shenanigans started. I broke my dressy sandals! Ughhhhh so I had to go back to the apartment and change shoes. We then called a cab and waited over 40 minutes just for the asshole not to show up! And I called twice...

So we walked the 10 minutes to the club and stood in line to get our stamp and start the fun! Once we got inside, the foam hadn't started yet but the place was packed. I have never seen Cuba that full before. It's usually the last place you would go if there was nothing else better going on that night. We got onto the dance floor and stuck together but we were packed like sardines. As a good song came on, you could feel the excitement around you building up. All of a sudden...FOAM EVERY WHERE!! I was covered head to toe and sticky soapy foam. I could feel it piling up on my head and slipping all over my feet and sandals. I couldn't see anything and the girls and I just linked arms and clung to each other as people pushed and slipped on the slippery floor. I lost my shoes a few times, but luckily found them!

The foam went off and on the whole night. It just got wetter and sudsy-er as the night continued. We decided to take a break and found an empty table. I got up to get something and walked right into a stool! It hurt so bad and I was afraid to fall back into the crowd of people jumping up and down. I looked down to find a huge rip through the leggings that I was wearing (actually they were Caitlyn's!). I ran to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. Mistake; I was looking like a hot mess with makeup running down my face, soap in my hair, dirty feet and ripped pants.

As we looked at ourselves in the bathroom it was our signal to head back home. Luckily everyone was getting pretty tired and felt the same way. We grabbed a taxi (who was very rude!) and we headed back to Menlo. The girls left and Caitlyn and I settled down on the couch with a pot of mac and cheese from my care package and watched MTV and decided it was a good idea to skip our first class (ssshhhh don't tell Grammie).

Tomorrow is Friday and I will be spending the day catching up on homework and reading. It will be a good night to stay in and hang with friends and discuss the weekend. We are going to Dublin with the program Saturday-Sunday! Hopefully the weather is good and no one gets bus sick this time, including myself!
