its impossible to get on the internet... what??
Well its been a long time coming folks, but I finally managed to find a little span to time to do a quick update. Mexico and i have finally bonded and I more or less feel comfortable in my summer home. I´ve gotten a few grades in and I am doing excellently in my conversation and grammar class. No idea about my culture class because we just sorta sit there and listen to this man lecture for an hour and at teh very end of the two months we have a paper do. Riiiiiight.
Anyways, I really think my spanish is improving. People have asked me if I am from Brazil or Cuba several times. Haha. When it comes to people on teh street that I am bartering with or cab drivers, its ok to lie. They will try to charge you alot if they think you are from America or if they think you are rich. Oh well I am hip to your little game people, you will NOT get me!!! At any rate, its been ok. I want to buy some earrings and some bracelets, so I need to brace myself for a hard day of bargaining one of these weekends.
This past weekend was exciting because my group and I took a trip to Puerto Vallarta, which is kinda like Cancun only ALOT less touristy. It was so beautiful and we all needed the break from school and volunteering. We stayed at a really nice hotel that had two pools plus a jacuzzi. It was right on the beach too. We got free buffet for each meal and also unlimited drinks until 10 pm each night we were there. That was a hot mess. Anyways, the clubs were pretty cool. Friday night went to a bar called Mogambe that was really chill, followed by an overly packed club called Hilo. I feel like i lost ten pounds in sweat that night. It was ridiculous, clearly we were above the fire code. Saturday my friend Sylvia and I went into town early to do some shopping. Some three hours later we were dying of sweat so we returned to our hotel. I wanted a nap, but she want to go back out in to the sun to lay out. Go figure. Anyways, that night we went to a club called Zoo. That was actually alot of fun because it was a good mix of Mexicans and tourists and it wasn´t to crowded. I had so many shots. Bad tequila, bad bad tequila. Bad Jessie, bad bad Jessie. But I kept it calm, nothing too out of control. Ya´ll know how I can be.
This week has been very hectic, but I have enjoyed being at the hospital more this week. Everyone there thinks I am a med student from the US. Its kinda of nice actually. It gives me hope for the future. I get to do preliminary exam things like weight babies and take height and temperature and help fill out forms. I am quite busy and as always I use my spanish lot. The docters are all wonderful with the patients and really nice to me. Its just hot because there is no AC and sometimes the fan isn´t on. But what doesn´t kill you makes you stronger is what they say. Ok off to class for me... until next time!!!!
