Woke up after sleeping a good 11 hours and was feeling amazing like I was in my prime which I might actually be if I was still working out. I knew that there was a party tonight and was all excited because I was no longer taking amoebas pills and was feeling brand new. I knew no one else was awake yet so decided after breakfast and lunch to read "Marching Powder". What a great read. I read and slept literally all morning and afternoon and after a while decided to head down to the park and read some. I had texted Kevin wondering what time the party was and he responded something hours later like 9pm and that he was at the school. I immediately threw my book down after returning from the park to ... read more

With his appearance on this week's cover of Sports Illustrated, Tom Brady(notes) moves into a tie with Joe Montana as the football player with the most appearances on the front of the venerable sports magazine. The quarterbacks have both appeared on SI's cover 12 times (not including commemorative issues), more than any other NFL player. David Carr(notes), meanwhile, is still stuck at one. It makes sense that Montana and Brady are tied at the top: They've won multiple Super Bowl MVP awards, played the glamour position for the best teams in the sport and have recognizable faces that sell magazines. That the most NFL appearances is 12 is a bit jarring seeing as how Michael Jordan was on the cover 56 times (Muhammad Ali and Tiger Woods are the next most frequent cover subjects with 38 ... read more

Its Tuesday Day of Cochabamba and I was not feeling well at all this morning. I wanted to partake in some celebration but sleeping sounded more appealing. I ate some and slept till like 1pm. Alex called me and asked If I wanted to go with her to the Prado and I really did and she also wanted to drink and I told her the situation of my stomache and replied maybe later on in the night well throw back some drinks. She said she would call me back so I waited and slept some. I slept till like 230pm and then texted kevin seeing if he wanted to go to the prado. MY mom was suprised to hear the fact that I was leaving because I had recieved a text from kevin saying to meet ... read more

Woke up today and did not want to go to class at all considering how I was feeling. Slept through my first class and waking up didnt feel well. Must have went to the bathroom like 4 times before I left at like 745am for school. Getting to school didnt feel well at all but somehow managed my way through my classes. I went home and kevin texted me something like Jose luis knows of a concert tonight we should go and I agreed. Well I waited and read some after a daily nap and literally slept the majority of the day. I was writting my blog and listening to music with Luis downstairs at aroud 7pmish waiting for Jose Luis to pick me up like he said. Well something happened on the way to the ... read more

My spider kill count is at an all time high. Trying to currently figure out how I am possibly going to blog my weekend because its really difficult to piece it all together. Probably is considered to be the most intense weekend Ive had here. It all started friday when I spread the word to Kevin that we were going to see the BRUJA (witCH) who was supposed to tell our fortunes to us. John was trying to go as well and at like 330pm we met up and Lilliana told us it wasnt happening. BUST I thought and Kevin and I contemplated what to do. JOhn seemed quite disappointed and went home. Considering it was friday and We were supposed to be sleeping outside at Noche sin Techo the day was still young, Kevin was ... read more
