051121 THE Salsa night... ooh and other dances I sit here in an empty class room, after 45 mins sleep in a slight relaxed rush to finish my final project for my 7am ‘Life Drawing’ which conveniently moved to 8:30, i mean I could’ve made breakfast.... forget the sleep! Lol Anyways, last night was the most magical night of my life.... lol no, not really... but it sure was fun, after a semester of salsa (which mind you, secretly, I think it’s the most I’ve acquired in the sense of knowledge here ...) life lesson on the other hand... come everyday :) SO final night, and we were the final act!

051001 First weekend back at ‘home’ ☺ Wow, it’s October already! Scary… my Spanish is still ‘mas o menos’(so-so), my intentions were to have a Spanish Saturday and Sunday study ☺ But after three hours… those intentions, changed :S Saturday, after a big sole- clean-up of the house, I started to do my homework….

Hmmm so the first couple of weeks have had mixed messages really, still fiestas, still goof times woops and good times, but SO much HOMEWORK,,, what’s up with that?!, it’s not hard homework… more like time consuming, what’s the freaking point homework. I came to Mexico to relax, reflect and religion research, comes into it somewhere… right? WRONG! With full time uni (5 papers, 2 of them being double credits) classes (salsa (pesos $980) , kickboxing, pilates, & aerodance (gratis… free)… (magic card tricks, I wish I could afford)), voluntary work (AMMAC - art and friendship for kids), fiestas and fun times, it appears the lifestyle of Jade stays the same regardless of the country.
