Monday night madness

Monday was not a fun day, as I was still sore and tired from Saturday night. We also got extremely lost on the way to class that day, taking the subway one stop, only to end up walking the wrong direction back to our original stop. Then we couldn't find the number bus we were supposed to take, so we took 401 instead of the 104, thinking the professor had been dsylexic, until we saw the 104 pass by. So we got off the 401, tracked the 104 down, and finally got on the right bus. We even managed to get off at the wrong stop, walking much further then we had to until we finally found the Universidad de Chile, almost an hour late.

After class, we managed to get lost again. Took the bus too far in one direction, then took another bus going to the opposite way too far. So, after realizing that we had only backtracked, we made the excellent decision to drown our sorrows in alcohol. 8 pitchers of beer later, keep in mind there were only 8 of us, we finally felt satisfied and more then a little bit drunk. It was Chelsea´s birthday, ostensibly the reason for such epic drinking but not really. The afternoon closed on a sobering note, as Josh fell in the subway giving Chelsea a piggyback ride, opening a minor cut on his nose that managed to bleed fairly profusely for a while. Staggering back to our hotel, we stopped at a local bar for another round.

Needless to say, we got a pretty good start on drinking for the night. I gave my Chilean buddy Nico a call that night, and told him to come down and pregame at our apartment. He was a big hit with all my friends, everyone really liked him, Alessandro, and his buddy Gonzalo that I had never met before. They showed up with two bottles of pisco and cola, which dissapeared faster then humanly possible it seemed. And sure enough, as promised, they showed us a good time, taking us out to the best club I have been to yet in Santiago. The night was a long one, with several of the girls ending up hooking up with my buddies no less. Good times, good times, as I dreaded the 9 AM class we had scheduled for the following day.
