Week in Review

This week sucked, obviously from my other post you can tell...the only time I cried, but I teard up the next couple days too...today I was fine, solely because I gave up on asking why why why. But, class was cut short today because there is a bake shop that is only open on tuesdays and fridays so all of us and our teachers went there after the break so then there wasnt anymore class today! Then, this afternoon we learn how to make chocolate covered bananas...Im sure it will be sooooo hard to do, dipping bananas in chocolate sure sounds like a task. But, yummy! Yesterday we had our first official salsa class! It was great, I love it! Though it kinda sucks cause there are so many girls in the group so its hard to partner up. But, so fun! After that everyone went home for dinner but Jill and I decided to stay in town, cause its just annoying to walk home 15 min then have dinner, then walk back to go out...so we tried out this mediterranean restaurant which was awesome! Got tapas and a bottle of vino, it was delicious, pricy but great and worth the experience. Then we met up with friends and had a liter of beer each at one place, then went to Rhumba, where people usually salsa, and they had this free salsa lesson but it wasnt really a lesson because they were awesome and moving all around all crazy, it was like line dancing but salsa, pretty interesting, the dj forced us to come out there and try it, so we probably looked retarded and served as entertainment for the locals. Bought 2 bottles of rum, took like 4 shots each, had a beer, danced more when real music came on and did some salsaing, fun dancing night, then we went to another bar, el cuartito, and had another shot, of tequila, barf, then headed on home...all in all, fun night, and this morning most of us who went out all contemplated calling in sick for school, but didnt. I bet they think foreigners are alcoholics. My teacher said people dont keep booze in the home, its only for celebrations...but im sure that varies from house to house and age. Oh and thanks for trying to write spanish in your comments, but i end up not reading it because i dont feel like translating! haha. darcy, that was funny though, thanks. que mas........we had a conference the other day, on guatemalan independence, so boring. History and politics are really not my thing, because afterwards we had a discussion and everyone had something to say, they were well informed in tons of historical people, events, and had smart shit to say, and im just like, wow, im either really dumb or just have absolutely no desire to know any of this shit, most likely a combo. anyway, i cant wait for the conferences to not be about history or people or politics...health por favor, then ill have some stuff to say. i wonder if one day i will care about politics...everyone says i will and i should and its bad i dont because it affects me, which i understand, but i dont care. maybe its just because people always argue about politics and i, being nonconfrontational, decided to never know what they were talking about so i didnt ever have to argue about it. and, its not like i can do shit about anything regarding politics, except vote, and im uninformed, so i dont vote. whatev. Went to the mall the other day to do some shopping...wanted a couple tshirts cause i realized i only brought like black and white and gray and had no colors! so we went and had SUBWAY for lunch, which kicked ass cause i havent had a sandwich since before i left and ranch dressing, yum! then shopped around a bit and bought a couple shirts for like $10 each! Anytime i get sad im just going to go eat subway and shop...haha, and probably play video games cause they have an arcade there. tomorrow we go to the hot springs! 7 of us are renting a bungalow and staying the night, for $10 a person and you can get in the springs all night! so today after the bake shop we went and stocked up on booze and snacks for that, im excited. last weekend wasnt much of a relaxing weekend cause we got up so early ever day, so this should be great. the hot springs are heated by the volcano! scary! like in dantes peak!!!! and well get to sleep in! lindsay ill get more videos for ya, sorry, havent been doing much exciting, what do you all want to see on video? taking special requests. ive begun buying presants for christmas! its hard though because its all pretty eclectic, indigenous type stuff so i dont know how much everyone will actually like their gifts...but ill figure it out. i think ive also decided that when i get back, ill work as a translator in a hospital or something so i can keep my spanish up but also be in a medical setting until i go to pa school, if that ever happens. anyway, now im rambling, more sunday when i get back! love you all!
