Hi everyone! (as either cheers or sighs ring out around the world at the news that Kristina didn't fall off the side of a cliff to be lost forever) I realize that I haven't written a blog in a hundred years (that's accurate, if you round up),but here we go to make up for it, random jotted notes: So a few weeks ago, I had a district breakfast, where all the exchange students were introduced to all the Rotary Members that had chosen to come. We all wore our fancy jackets that are quickly filling up. My favorite thing about mine [View Full Entry]

So I have come out on the other side of my first thanksgiving meal without the family, and I managed to survive with only a few minor burns and scratchs! So heres the story of my first thanksgiving: Lupita and I went food shopping (after scouting out the stores for where to get everything), and that only took us about 4 hours. And I am not even kidding. As it is clearly not thanksgiving here, and American thanksgiving isnt until November, the stores didnt have the best selection of turkey. So turns out all they had was smoked turkey, which eventually [View Full Entry]

Thanksgiving with a mex twist
First Thanksgiving for the De Leon Family

This is just an update to say I have added pictures to two previous blogs, so that makes just about ALL the blogs with pictures. If you just scroll down on the original page when you opened THIS blog, you can see which blogs have pictures, that maybe you didn't see. And by the way, got the results of some of my tests back, and turns out, I'm NOT going to fail, at least not this term! i have a solid 10/10 in history, snaps for me! 9/10 in Biology, got 7.5/10 on the math test... the others aren't as good, [View Full Entry]

Where did I leave off: The two school days I spent at Gaby's school went well. It was definatly nice to being something that might even appear to be useful (I did hand out dry pasta and glue after all). Friday night was a really fun night ! I went out with some of the other students from GDL, and we all went to this birthday party for a friend of a past exchange student. Yah, that was kind of complicated, but the jist of it is, went to a party. The way Mexico does parties (if the birthday person is [View Full Entry]

The PV family
Olivia and I

So I was in school for one full week (almost a record I think) after the conference. it was good to be back in PV, to see my friends, to be in my own room and not live out of a suitcase. School was fine all in all, although there are a couple things about school that I can live without (namely the crazy boys and the literal mountain of homework I accumulate). The homework really is ridiculous. I get a new assignment every day in almost every class, and the classes are only every two or thre days so [View Full Entry]

Metate
Me and Gaby

Just got back from my very first Rotary Youth Exchange Conference! (Campemento Mazatlan to be exact... I have a t-shirt to prove it) It was definatly a good time... Ever get to suntan at a conference? ... yah.. I don't know what I did to get to live this kind of life, ha ha. So I was in GDL the whole week before the conference, which means I missed the whole week of school. missing a whole week of school that you don't understnad = coming back and everything being exactly the same. haha. I have to figure out what [View Full Entry]

Oh man, I'm such a little comedian. haha ooo. I apologize for my bad puns. haha. Ok, now because of technical difficulties this is the 3rd time I have written this blog, .... OIE! i love the internet.. but sommmeetimess..... ooooo So we left friday for GDL, even though we were supposed to leave Thrusday. Hurricane John cancelled my conference in Mazatlan because it was really dangerous to travel. Puerto Vallarta was ready for it, but nothing happened.

Crazy cheering section!

This is basically just so you get updated so that you know I added PICTURES (fotos) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!! I figured out how to do it! There are three previous blogs with pictures now. And I accidently put the Guadalajara pictures with the wrong blog, but you get the idea. And I realize I broke my usual rule of almost always taking pictures with people in them, but I just wanted to show you where I live and such things. And I will take pictures of my house and stuff later. Anyway, hopefully the pics give you a little warmth up there [View Full Entry]

They are all things I have jumped off!!!! Thats right. I have officially jumped off a cliff. I am SOO happy! That is one things that gets crossed right off that Life To-Do List :) It was so wicked. Thats why it gets first billing in the blog. It was probably a little higher than a the top of a 2 story house. You have to climb up the side, which is just rock, and its basically straight up so you have to kind of climb diagonal. While I was climbing, you know what I was thinking ? Thank god for [View Full Entry]
