The Best Worst Day EVER!
















Saturday turned out to be the best worst day ever. Jim, our professor, and 8 of us students decided to take a bus down to Sevilla, an old Spanish City, for the day.
It all started when we had to wake up at 6am so we could get to the bus station in time to catch the 7am. Our bus was really nice but the driver was CRAZY. I don't think he know how to correctly shift the gears, and therefore I became DEATHLY ill within an hour. Ok, maybe not deathly ill but I thought I was going to throw up. Luckly I didn't.
We finally got to the bus station and I couldn't wait to find the bathroom. I got in there to find no toilet paper and no toilet seat, and no soap. Great. We all had to go so we just went. Luckly someone had hand sanitizer.
We started our day at the catherdal then went to Alcazar, a cool palace thing. Because we were all so tired we were dragging by 11. We ate a lunch of sandwiches packed by out host moms. Mine was some sort of pepperoni with butter, and most of the others had a weird tuna thing or one just had a hamburger bun with cheese. The one with the bun and cheese decided to feed it to the birds. Not the best food ever but hey, it was free.
This is where the story starts to get interesting. Some of the students wanted to go see some ancient Rome ruins, but Haylee, Courtney, and I wanted to walk around. We headed to a cool plaza then to the bull fight arena. On the way Haylee got a carmel ice cream sundae at McDonalds. Courtney, who was the one who donated her lunch to the birds decided about now that she was starving. I was worried she may eat my left arm so I decided it would be best to find somewhere to eat, and soon. We found a pretty good looking place and I asked for some menus. The waiter told us that we couldn't eat our sundae there and refused to let us sit down. We felt so discriminated against, it was rude.
After we left we found a cool cafe with a paneria (bakery) and a heladeria (ice cream) so we went in. They weren't much better and only had pasta so Courtney ordered that and I got a ham and cheese pastry. Mine was cold and hers was really small, but we didn't care a lot by then. We got a chocolate pastry on the was out and went to sit by a river while we ate them. The pastries weren't good at all and made us both sick, so we immediately regreted our decision. We sat there laughing at our situation and the soreness of our feet when we said "the only thing to make this day worse would be if it rains on us." Ha, we thought we were funny, but that's exactly what happened. It started to pour. We would've gone inside somewhere but Haylee had to use the bathroom, so we headed out in the rain.
We got back to the McDonalds but by then we were drenched. The bathroom didn't have toiletpaper, of course, but the good news was there was a toilet seat and soap. We left the bathroom and on the way out I realized everyone was staring at me. Well, you know how in the movies people leave the bathroom and have a huge trail of toilet paper stuck to their shoe? That's exactly what happened to me. Instead of being embarassed, all three of us just busted out laughing. It was hilarious. In fact, so hilarious that one of the girls peed her pants. I still don't know how you pee your pants right after you use the bathroom, but somehow she managed to do it. Luckly we were already drenched so no one noticed.
As we were leaving the restaurant I realized that my blood sugar was low, and we had to hurry if we were going to get back to the bust station on time. I got an ice cream cone and we booked it out of there.
The bus ride home wasn't too bad. I didn't get sick, although Haylee did, but we were glad to be able to sleep. To top the day off Courtney lost her cell phone. We decided that since were were laughing all day, it would only get funnier the more time passed. I guess we'll see. Although Sevilla is an awesome city, I'm not so sure I'd be happy to go back any time soon.
