Getting Orientated

Right now it is a beautiful afternoon on January 9th, 2008. I arrived back at my apartment earlier today after the CEA Orientation Session that lasted for the past 2 days. Let me tell you, these past 2 days were absolutely brilliant. Before I talk about that the few days that led up to the orientation were extremely fun as well. The first night that I arrived in Barcelona, my friends and I, met up with the number one club/party promoter in all of Barcelona. His name is Kike Barcelona (pronounced Keee Kayyy) just in case some of you were wondering. We ate at a very elegant restaurant called Trobador. Here I was able to re-unite with some kids whom I got to meet briefly at home when I visited schools such as UofM and Indiana. Some of these kids include Benji Miller, Elrod.com, amongst others. During the dinner I ordered myself a cervaza (beer), quite a few actually, we all shared a few interesting appetizers, and finally for my main course I ordered Beef Ribs which were mediocrity at its finest. After the dinner we all ended up at a club called Otto Zut. The whole night was crazy because it was a holiday called the Three Kings in which everyone in the city buys stuff for their kids and friends throughout the night. There were literally thousands of people swarming my street and this lasted until very late, with a few hundred stragglers or so wandering around past 4-7am which I hear is quite normal. Once we all left the first club everyone was headed to another club. At this point it was already like 4am so CF#1, CF#2, and myself decided to go back to apartment to sleep while CF#3 and CF#4 remained out and went to the next club for a couple of hours. So I bet you all are asking yourself, "What does the CF stand for and what did I do once I arrived back at my place"? Well, it's quite easy to answer that. CF stands for Chillz Factors. If you don’t know what I refer to when I reference that then stop and ponder for a while once you come up with some ideas. Send me your results if your still struggling and maybe I can help you out. Once I arrived back to Villadamat and Gran Via, I watched cable TV and the 20 channels or so we are offered. But the channels CF#1 and I viewed were plainly a duzzzie in every sense of the word. We flipped back from channels 17 and 19. Some of the craziest, dumbest, interesting, boring, provocative soft core porn I have ever witnessed. No, I am not a porn user but when every channel I see is not in either of the two languages I know there is a serious problem. If it aint English or Fenkelleryageage, I don't give it the time of day. In other words, "If you don’t give a damn, we don’t give a fuck". Write that down. Proceeding on now later on in that same night CF#3 and CF#4 arrived back to the apartment each with a girl whom they met at the club. CF#3 is what I like to call a Reee Reee because he cannot figure out how to open the door to our apartment so I had to go get the door for them. Once I opened the door I obviously took a quick peak at the two broads they brought back just to make sure that neither of them had 3 legs. By this time it was almost 5am so I undoubtedly needed some sleep. The next day I woke up next to CF#4 only to realize that it was 6:30pm. We get a great sleep in don’t get me wrong but the fact that it was already 6:30 was a little shocking to me although it was a Sunday which means that everything is closed basically in Barcelona. I got some food with CF#4 and came back to the apartment to find the kids whom we all went out to eat dinner with at Trobador with Kike at my place. We all chillzed for a little, then one of the worst things ever happened. Mario Kart on N64 did not work!!!! Ahhhh…such agony and pain. I had the converter and all the plugs were plugged in but the system itself would not turn on. I'm still trying to figure it out and I will update you on the consensus of the Mario Kart issue. About an hour later a few girls showed up at the apartment to chillz factor 101 with the boys which was fun. Now, to counter the horrid Mario Kart issue I received a call that my second piece of luggage which was left in Detroit the day I got here was at my place and I needed to come get it. I hung up that phone and ran faster than Marion Jones did in 2001 to get that piece of luggage in my possession. Once I got it I went back upstairs and relaxed the rest of the night with all the roommies and watched a little more porn but it was better this time because there were no stupid adds or callers calling in on the show. Haha. Anywho the next morning I woke up at around noon and went to Hotel Mont Blanc with CF#3 and CF#4. This was the hotel that CEA put us in for the orientation session for free for 2 days. I mean why not factor at a random hotel in Barcelona with hundreds of other people my age who I don't know. It was definitely legit. So many girls and so many people who I got to meet. All good things. The next day was spent doing orientation type stuff, ending it off with CF#3 and me enjoying the company of two girls for the whole night. Today I woke up, checked out of the hotel, and came back to post it up at my apartment. I just napped for a little and now am getting ready to go out for another crazy night.
