Hey, Whats up? Hope all is well. I haven't written in a while because i have been super busy. Sorry!! Tuesday I went to school which is not anything new. I went home and went to the birthday of my cousin, Paul. It was at a pizza place and very fun. I played with the little girls and my friend vinicuis went with us. After that there was another birthday party for the godson of my host parents. It was nice, but very late so I was tired. We went home and I went to bed!! Wednesday - 7 MONTHS IN MEXICO Well Wednesday I we didn't do anything. I went to school and we got a new english teacher. He knows english a lot better than the teacher before him. Then I just went home ... read more
Hola! Como estan? I am fine. Had a very busy weekend, but very enjoyable! Friday I didn't end up sleeping over my first family's house so I had to wake up at 5 a.m. to go to my school. We got there at 6 and we were off. It was a long ride, like 3 hours, but nice because the 3rd year class is really funny. I like them a lot. The boy i like didn't go which was a bit sad but I had fun without him. We watched a movie on the bus and talked. We got to the college for a tour around 9. It was a really beautiful school. Too bad it didn't have medical courses, but if my plans to go to Harvard or Brown don't work out, I am strongly ... read more
Hey, How are you all?? I am doing good. I've had a busy couple of days. Monday On Monday, I woke up and went to school. Nothing to exciting there. I got out of school at 2. Then I went out to eat at one of my favorite mexican food resturants with my friend, Elisa. She is in the grade above me. We went out to eat because I wasn't going home. I was going to the salon near my school at 4:30 to get highlights. My house is far from my school so I would have gotten there and had to come back. Elisa had to leave after and hour so I went to Heloisa's house for a short visit. It was only like a half hour. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon ... read more
Hey!!! Hope everyones good. I had a fun weekend but now I am a little sick. You'll understand why though! Friday Friday wasn't anything special. I went to school, came home, watched tv, and went to the gym. On Thursay I tried to get permission to go to Mazatlan on one days notice. Needless to say, that didn't work out. Its ok though because the next Friday I will go to Guadalajara with my school. It isn't my grade though. It is the grade above me. I got a special invitacion to go with them though. School was actually kind of sweet though. The morning stunk because the kids were making me mad, but the last class was nice. It was a class like socialogy and we did this game were one person went to the ... read more
Hey Everyone, I hope you guys had an awesome valentine's day. Mine was incredible. Definitely the best valentine's day I have ever had. School First I had a really good grade in Math so I didn't have to take the examen. The teacher canceled the test for that day anyway because no one studied. So we played games. Physics was normal and boring. In the afternoon they suspended classes and we had a party! It was so much fun. There was food and drink, a booth where you could get married, a booth for divorces, and a booth to send messages to your friends. The rest of school we just talked and enjoyed each others company. I got married to my friend hahahaha. After School Then my parents picked me up from the busstop and we ... read more
Holas!! How is everyone? I am good. This weekend was a very nice one. Even though I didn't get to go on the trip I go to go the the birthday party of my little sister. It was a big party for a six year old. We were up til midnight on Friday making center pieces and goodie bags. Saturday morning was the same. It was a crazy party. Over a hundred people came. I rememeber I was excited on my 6th birthday because I could invite 6 friends. We rented a place called a casino but it wasn't a casino like the one you are probably picturing. It was filled with toys for kids. Stuff like a jump-a-roo, jungle gym, and swings. I invited my friend, Vinny, the new boy from brazil. We had a ... read more
¡¡¡o0ºo0ºo0oºolasssss!!! (translation: hola or hello hahaha), How is everyone? I hope good! Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I've been busy! heheheheh Well I will catch you up now. New Family I changed host families. I didn't want to but its a rule. Fortunately, I have a really nice new host family. Yesterday I completed one month with them. The beginning was a little difficult because the first girl who was there was still there for like a week. It is just akward when you are trying to get to know the family and she is there still calling the mamá y papí. It was only a week though so it wasn't too bad. My new parents are Lupita and Raúl. Lupita works in a government office and Raul is a college teacher. They are so ... read more
Queridos Amigos, I hope everyones New Year went well. Mine was fun. I have been really busy so please forgive me for not writing. I will catch you up now though. It is almost a week though so it could get long. Jueves (Thursday) - My 5 Month Anniversary Well, the morning I spent in the house being bored. I was suppose to go to the movies with a bunch of my friends, but none of them could so I went by myself. It was actually really nice. I saw Una Noche en el Museo, also known as One Night in the Museum. It was a really cute movie. If you are ever bored on a rainy day it is a nice thing to go see. Then I walked around the mall. I bought myself a ... read more
¡Hola Todos! How is everyone? I hope all is well. I went to a very fun party last night. It was my classmate Pepe’s birthday. I spent the day at home but it was pretty cool. My cousins from San Francisco came over for lunch. They are going back home, which is kinda sad because I had fun with the little girl Natalie. So I spent the rest of the afternoon getting ready for the party. The end result was pretty good. The party was at 7 and like a half-hour away, but I didn’t leave until 7 so I was late. I was still the first person there though. We ate, drank, talked, and listened to music. I actually made a lot of new friends. They were really nice. They even invited me to spend ... read more
Hola Queridos Amigos I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Just so everyone knows, this is definitely the hardest part of being an exchange student! The homesickness is almost unbearable. But once you make it through you realize that you actually are getting a really great blessing. Like my family said, I am seeing and experiencing things you guys can't even imagine. You realize you can make it through the rest of the year. In fact two more days and I will hit the 5 month mark. That means I have 5 and 1/2 months left. I am almost halfway done. I want you to all know how much I missed you. You were in my thoughts, my heart, and my prayers. I love you all SO much. You don't realize what you have until you ... read more
