Gilburto
This is Gil at school. He speaks pretty good english and loves Avril Lavigne. ¡Hola mis amigos!
I had a very busy weekend!
Friday
On Friday, I had the day off from school. A very nice break I must say. I was online and my friend, Gilberto, invited me to a play at his acting school. It was a really beautiful play. Its called
Jesús el Hombre Luz or Jesus the man of light. As you can guess, it was about Jesus's life. It had dancing, singing, and acting. I was really just awesome. I left for my café at 6 because my friend (well actually no one) didn't know where my house was. We met his brother at an ice cream shop and then we were off to the play. It didn't take to long because we took a taxi. The play ended around 10-10:30ish. After the play we stayed and congratulated some of Gil's friends. Then we wents and got some dinner. They have some good hamburgers near that theater. I am definitely going back. Then we said good bye and I took a taxi home.
Saturday
I slept really late. It was nice. I woke up, took a shower, ate breakfast, etc. It was Adam's birthday so I tried calling him but
Marnay
This is Marnay at the Christmas party. She is a really nice girl. And in the play, she actually was an angel. hahaha that is always a lot cause. I watched some T.V. with my host sisters. We watched one of those E True Hollywood Stories on the most embarrassing stuff celebrities have done, including President Bush. Man does that make you embarrassed to be an american. We had a big lunch but it was good as always. Then I went online and talked to Katelynn. I miss that girl so much! I had to rush off though because I had to get ready for the party I was going to. I was running really late, so my host sister gave me a ride to the café, because I was going to meet my friend, Gil, there again. I was late and got nervous he didn't see me there so he let. Thank god Mexican people are the least punctual in the world. The party started at 7 and we didn't get there until 8, although that is parcially do to the parade and the traffic it caused. I finally got to talk to adam in the cab and my aunt who never comes to MA. Yeah, she decided now that Shayna is gone it is a great time for me to come...oh
Pepe y Javier
This is Pepe. He isn't the reason I put this picture up though. The reason is Javier. Maybelline has the BIGGEST crush on him. I spent pretty much all the party try to find a way to get him to come. I don't particularly care for him. He is immature and dirty, but everyone is allowed to their opinions. well..hahaha. I have got to say that party was pretty bad though. Only me and Gil showed up for this poor girl, Maybelline's birthday. Well her family was there but we were her only friends there. I felt so bad!! She was crying a little. Thank goodness super Shayna was there with her cell phone and MSN account. But alas, even with my super powers I only managed to get like 4 more people there, and one just kinda wondered in. She was from the year before in the school with Maybelline and Gil. They are one grade higher than me. The other 4 were Marnay, from my class, her sister and her boyfriend, from Gil and Maybelline's class, and some girl I didn't know, but she was with them. Like 30 minutes before we left, Gil's brother came too. The music wasn't good. I don't know if you have ever listened to
Banda but after the first 3 songs they all start to sound the same. The food was pretty good though, chips, peanuts, tuna fish sandwich, cake, etc. The girl from the year ahead of Gil and Maybelline gave me a ride home. Well techinally her brother did,
Heloisa
This is an old picture of Heloisa. She is from Brazil. I took this when we were in Mazatlan back in November. but she was there too. Turns out her brother knows my sister, Fabiola. And he has been to the USA. Small World...huh! So I got home around 11:30 and went to bed.
Sunday
I woke up and went to church. I like this church. It is pretty and not too long. The songs and choir are really beautiful. It is a lot like my church back at home. After that, I walked home and ask to go to Soriana, which is the mall. My host mom said yes. I went and got all my Christmas shopping done. I had the equivalent of 35 dollars and managed to buy gifts for my mom, dad, 2 sisters, 2 brothers, wife of 1 brother, their son and new baby. Am I good or what? and it is all stuff they will use. For example, my sister is an artist so I got her a picture frame. I am so excited to see how they react. The only bad part is now I have no money. 😞 Oh well. I got home and my cousin from San Fransico and her kids and husband had come over for lunch. I already had eaten Burger King..I
Kenia y Pepe
This is Kenia. She and Pepe are now boyfriend and girlfriend. When I took this at the beginning of the school year, they weren't. My oh my many things change. know old habits die hard. So I just talked to the little girl, Natalie. She is 5 and can speak English with some spanish. We had fun and played outside. Then we came in and played on the computer. Big mistake. I was trying to do homework and set her up with a game on Nick.com. She can't read so every 2 minutes. What does this say? They left around 5, so I finished my homework and study for the geography test. They at 7, I went to my friend, Heloisa's house. It was fun. We hung out on the internet and I talked in english with some Brazilian friends of hers. At 10 I went home, watched SIMON with my host sister. It is a pretty good movie. After that, off to bed.
Monday...Today
Today definitely ruined my whole fun weekend. I woke up and got ready for school. I get to school and my friend, Kenia, helps me to check the homework because I can use it on the test. Then the teacher comes in and tells me I can't take the test and to go ask Rosie, the secretary why. Well wouldn't you know the reason was
Geography Teacher
This is El Maestro Leonardo. He is the music teacher too. More exciting than that though, is he just asked his girlfriend to marry him on December 16th. Yes a very special day in the USA and México. because somebody hadn't paid for my school for the 5 months (well almost 5) that I have been here. We start vacations Wednesday, so the school wants their money and decide to get tough on me when it wasn't my fault. So I got to leave. My host mom called David, the guy who is suppose to pay, and he said "Oh I have a meeting with Rosie at 12." Well aparently Rosie didn't know about it. I should be able to go to school and take the last 2 tests tomorrow, but it wouldn't be the first time David didn't come through. When I was applying for my visa here I needed a letter from the Rotary people. I arrived the last week of July so I should have recieved it early August. Well, not only did none of the exchange students recieve their letters until mid September, but mine had a error. My middle name was spelt Catrice but in my passport it is Catrece so immagration wouldn't take it. So we had to wait a good 2 or 3 weeks for them to change the letter. We were fined because it took us so long to get started. My host mom flipped out of the Rotarians and said you need to pay this because Shayna and I didn't do anything. It was the first time I actually really liked her. So anyway that ruined my good weekend. I might go to a concert tonight with Gil, but I am not sure because I don't know if it costs money.
Adios,
Shayna
