This is Jean-Luc (22). The only other American I hang out with. Well he is actually from Quebec Canada (OHEMGEE I HAVE A CANADIAN FRIEND!) unfortunately he doesn´t have the Robin-esque accent with oat and aboat seeing he speaks french. He does however have a thick french accent which makes me chuckle. This kid is literally the most ridiculous person I have met. I live on the 9th floor of the apartment building and he lives on the second. I can hear him from my room 7 floors up perfectly. So it´s great because I always know when we are hanging out. He is SO loud but I mean this in the best way. It´s fine we are best friends, it has already been declared. But he can never take a normal picture and loves to do photo bombs. He also enjoys a variety of drinking games like this one with beer bottles, and hand games (you know, like the one where you increase by 1 each time) and sitting on people´s lap and yelling MAHOOOOU and slamming the door as loud as he can as well as waking up Mats and picking flowers for Justina when drunk.
The one on the left is Pelle (23), one of the two Swedish guys. He
always initiaites waking up Mats (the other Swedish guy) every single
night. Either he himself wakes Mats up or pushes someone in Mats room or
puts things on Mats etc. I also spent about an hour attempting to
explain to him what sororities and fraternities were and how they work.
What he got out of it: ¨so you guys are a religious sect for popular
girls that party.¨ errrr I guess it is as close as we will get for now. We tend to get into like philosophical conversations like happiness, religion, or cultural stuff.
.......................The one on the right is Felipe (22) from Mexico. I am actually not quite sure how he got involved with our group. He isn´t exactly an Eramus student because he isn´t taking the Spanish intensive course. He is the only other person I have met that already speaks Spanish, but like I said isn´t taking the classes. We met him at the welcome dinner and he sat in our area. He is going to be working in a hospital in Gandia this semester (only one other than Justina that is not going to Valencia) but now he always comes to the social events with us and can actually dance salsa and merengue so we teach the europeans how to at the bars when we go out and cook
...................................
This is Chris (24). He is from Austria. I find him HILARIOUS and I can´t
even explain why. Maybe it´s because he speaks like the Terminator? We
tend to have the most random discussions for extended amounts of time.
So the night before our welcome dinner he was the one that poured me a
triple shot of vodka which I was under the impression that I had to take
all at once. After I did, he told me that I had proven myself worthy
and am now an honorary European seeing that I can hold my alcohol. He
has been trying to take Jean-Luc´s spot as my best friend so we will see
what happens except I am pretty sure I have seen him more in his boxers
than fully clothed. Also whenever we take pictures, at least one is of him kissing me on the cheek. The first time, I look disgusted in the picture. I am working on liking it better haha
This one is Mats the fourth
room mate (of Pelle, Jean Luc, and Chris) and also Swedish. He is one of the more calm ones of our little group.
It´s funny because he tends to sleep the earliest (unless there is tequilaaa) or of all of us and
so when the rest of us come back at 2 or 3 or 4 etc, Pelle and Jean-Luc and
Chris ALWAYS wake him up and for some reason he puts up with it. Me and him went to Valencia yesterday and chatted lots. Learned tons about Sweden as well as Swedish music (he would be like, you know this song?- No Mats, I don´t know Swedish music... What about this one? -Mats, I literally know NO music from Sweden.) So one of the first days he told us about what feeders are, like people that get like turned on by feeding their partner and watching them get fat yeah yeah weird shit. I tend to eat with the boys a lot so somehow I am the one that gets fed and he is my main "feeder." Sounds weird but it´s actually really funny. They have already cooked for me steak, pitapanna, and mexican... My goal weight is 500 lbs.------------------------------------
So all of those boys live on the second floor across from the four girls that I normally hang out with. Chris was like (in his germa accent) ¨yeu we oll hang out since we live on da same floor but yeu are random living all the way up on 9th.¨ Very true. I met the girls on the second floor the first day so that is how I got lumped with them I suppose.
Justina (21) and is from Lithuania. I actually met her and Neva (next person) the first night. I had just gotten there and they told me they were going to the cafe on the corner so I joined them and since then we literally do everything together. Justina is like my inspiration for working on my no teeth smile... So I will be working on that without looking like an idiot. She is like the best with making this cute face that can manipulate you into doing almost anything. For example one time, like the only time ever, I wanted to go to sleep early. Literally for like ten minutes she was like,"Vamos, pleease Camilaaa, bonitaaa, come, drink, oh coooome on." The boys always tease her telling her she gets mad all the time. Unfortunately Justina is staying in Gandia for the semester because the
classes she is taking are not offered in Valencia.
One of the first things Neva told me: ¨Oh, your name means that large desert animal with the humps in my languae.¨ So yes apparently Camila means camel in Slovenian. Anyways, they both are just as obnoxious as I with taking pictures so it works out very well. I have to work on my no teeth smile without looking like an idiot.... This picture describes her prety well. She LOVES being in pictures and taking pictures (like more than me, so that´s saying a lot), vodka, and going out especially dancing (see why we get a long so well??). Neva is coming to Valencia and we are actually thinking about rooming together.She really like the way I speak spanish because it is softer than how the Spaniards speak so they make me speak to them in Spanish even though they tend to respond to me in English.
Their third room mate is Laresa (22) from German (the blonde one with the thick rimmed glasses on the left). She is the quieter of the group and the boys love to tease her because she tends to be the more shy one. But its funny because she´s like a hidden bad ass. As Justina says, "It´s always the person that you least suspect it!" I did get her to sing Brittney Spears Oops I did it again when we out to Valadero tuesday night for Kareoke :)
