Merry christmas! (finally!) I realize this blog comes very late, and I apologize. I hope everyone's christmas was SUPER amazing, as christmas should be. I had a really rocking christmas, and have been througharly (have no idea how to spell that. My english spelling is getting worse, if possible) enjoying my insane amount of vacation time. Vacation started for me about Thursday the 14th , when I went to Guadalajara. Went out with some friends that weekend, did a little christmas shopping (Which I ADORE!), hung out. Then my friend, another X-student from Canada, came over on Sunday and stayed at my house, until we went back to Puerto Vallarta on Tuesday. So unfourtunatly Rosemary(my friend) comes the only week we've had with clouds in the last two months, so we didn't get a chance to ... read more

I´m alive! finally!... 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

Christmas day was one for laying low. we didn´t do much, made some eggs for breakfast, cleaned up from the party, looked aroudn for our stuff. etc. I went to the internet cafe to upload pictures and spent about an hour at rockyou.com making a slideshow. then the internet went down and i lost it all. boo. i left without paying. i don´t feel bad about it. i´ll probably go back there later and give it another shot, but it´s so frustrating to have something like that happen. wendy, paulina, and i went to el parque de los morelos just to sit out in the sun and it was really nice. we sat and talked about relationships, pregnancies, kids, travels. later we went to get chinese food and it wasn´t very good. by this time i ... read more

Last nights party was incredible. We had tacos and tostadas (pile stuff on top of a big circular chip... fried corn tortilla) and pasta with tuna and beef stew and cervesa and tequila and we danced a LOT and we had the pinata which was so much fun and i will have to go somewhere else because the hostel computer doesn´t recognize my fujifilm photo chip reader. :( all of us were away from our families for christmas and felt a little bad, because we agreed that usually we spend christmas with family, but with some effort we made our own family and had a wonderful time. Of course, I have a million pictures. There is an internet cafe a block away and I will have to see if it´s open. Last night I went to ... read more
