Woot! Today officially marks half way day. From here on out it’s downhill..or…more days behind than in front (and of course that oddly happens as I’m starting like it more…well that’s the breaks). But! Let me thank everyone just over all who sent me letters/pictures =D I <3 you all very very much . =)

So today was one of those not really good at waking up type days. I set my alarm for quarter of 6, didn’t realize even what was happening when it first went off I was totally disoriented. I finally dragged myself out of bed at 6, turned the water on in the shower so it’d be warm, and went back to sleep for 10 minutes and finally couldn’t put the day off any longer.

I had waffles with jam as I walked out the door. I bet most people don’t think of waffles as an “on the run” type of food because the syrup would be too messy. Good thing I like mine with fruit, not syrup.

And I pretty much mind-slept through migrations class, though I made somehow enough comments that she never once prompted me for an answer. Which was good because I wouldn’t’ve had one. Lucky me.

Then I finished some cavernas homework because that was definitely a need and I ate lunch where, apparently sitting alone is my key to meeting Mexican guys? This was actually just creepy. I was sitting in the courtyard eating my lunch and I kind of glanced up as someone walked by and he kind of did that head nod thing, and at first I just glanced back down at my food not to be rude but more because the action hadn’t registered, but noting that I was being acknowledge I looked up again and kind of half nodded/half smiled which was apparently an invitation which, hey whatever, right? Actually not really. Not really at all.

But he was like “are you from the USA?” (in spanish) and I was like yeah, and then he made himself at home on the bench next to mine and asked me what part. So I answered question as need be but it was one of those creepy interrogation-conversations I’m really sick of. So yeah luckily Chandra came over and saved me…sorta. But he came back and then asked us if we liked cenotes, and we were like yeah, or more like Chandra said yes because I’d had enough of him. At that point he started telling us about a cenote that’s really close to the school that’s kind of part of the archeological site something or other and LSD. … back up. LSD? And I looked at him like…are you for real? (not are you for real as in excited, as in, did you seriously just ask us to go to some cenote and do LSD?) I’m pretty sure that tops the charts in my “creepiest things I’ve ever been invited to.” So I curtly explained we weren’t interested. And Chelsea came over and he asked her if she liked cenotes and she said yes and I interjected that she didn’t like LSD however. When he was leaving though he made sure to call my name and say bye. It was weird. Blah.

Anyway on to better parts of the day. Cavernas (turned in the homework), and Spanish. We finished Amores Perros. Alright, having seen it in two settings I think my thoughts on it are a little skewed. At the end I liked it a lot more (see Andy I’m not an entirely uncultured person) but somehow I feel like to have a really accurate opinion I’d need to see it all in one sitting. Either way it was well made. I unfortunately had a headache during Spanish though.

Then I came home, well, I walked to three different places to get more minutes for my cell phone and then came home where I got to open my presents and cards =D That was really really cool. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t’ve asked for anything better. Pretty much the best.

And then I hung up with my parents and went to the movies with Mandy and Saide. We saw He’s not that into You which is freaking hilarious! Oh man that was soooo good and Mandy’s such a trip (not an LSD trip, just funny as all get out…just so we’re clear haha). Hehe but I definitely had a good time with that. So did Saide. And then we teased Mandy some and that was a good time too. Got these smoothie things from Cinnabons. Yummmm. And now I’m home. Except for, you know, the school part, it was a good day. Oh and sorry to disappoint all my awaiting readers, no, my movie plans were not (never were) with Pichel, lol. These were made a little earlier in the week because to go to the movies is half price on Wednesdays. Good thinking on our part. Like… 33 pesos or something like that. That means like…just barely over 2 dollars. Yeah. Fantastic movie theater. About 2 bucks. Be jealous.

Well, much love my dears! =) Cheers!! Kate <3
