Los Fotos de Personas and Coke

I forgot to mention an interesting thing at the movies yesterday. They had a commercial for some Ciel water made by CocaCola, and it was interesting cause they showed the guy going to work on a train and two men in dress shirts and pants were talking to him, and at the end of that little scene they give him a book that closely resembled a book of mormon. Then at the end, they had all the people he came in contact with dancing around, and they had the "elders" there as well with their side backpack things and everything- the only thing they didn't have was their little badges. I thought that was interesting.


Then, here are some pictures Drew so kindly took of people we come in contact with A LOT! We're missing several people, but these are some of the main ones I guess.


Pilar, Drew, Me, and Gisela

Horacio with his daughters (LtoR) Barbara, Rita, Lucy


Horacio and Lidia


Don't know their names- they're the security guards. We're missing one, but I haven't seen him in a few days.

Thursday #9 HUZZAH!

I only have 2 more hours of class tomorrow and I am through with you Mexico!!!!!!!!! Well, minus the mind numbing late night activities, it's not too bad! Even the mindnumbing activities aren't that bad, I just have to go through the routine, and the closer it gets to leaving, the more anxious I am to pack up everything and what not. Must. Go. Home.!!!

A girl that was sitting by me at this table (I decided to hang out in the cafeteria area today so I wasn't inside all day) and she asked if I minded if she smoked - I'm thankful she asked- cause I said, actually, I do, if you don't mind. I have a hard time with cigarette smoke. It's called it's disgusting!

Not much else is going on. We did go see The Mummy 3 last night. It was terrible. Cool special effects, but they just didn't make up for how trashy the movie was. Everything was just so forced. No me gusta la pelicula.

Today, we aren't doing anything, pretty lazy day.

Wednesday #8 - Almost there!

Last night, we went and got some gifteroos at the zocalo market. Michele, I'm sorry, I forgot to take the camera until we were almost there. I feel bad. It looks like all the other pictures though. We had to take some more money out for them, but I like what we got. So if someone doesn't like their gift, they can regift it, and give it to me :D

uhm, Not much else is going on. Going to halfprice movie night is up in the air since we are so short on money. If we do go, we'll go see the Mummy, so it really ends up being how badly do we really want to see it, or is playing games on the comp. a better idea? We shall see.

Drew's been getting some pics of the teachers he likes or has had, and then once he's done I'll upload them. So just be patient.

That's about it, nothing too exciting going on...I didn't sleep well, so my happyenergies are no where to be found. At least I'm done with class today- THAT'S a good thing!

Tuesday #8

Today's classes were much better than yesterday. The girl I was put with yesterday asked to be moved so she could learn future tense Spanish, which leaves me to be by myself. Which was great! I get to start an hour later, and we go at my speed, not someone else's. So when I don't understand Pronombre indirectos, pronombre directos, and something else I don't understand, but anyway, when I don't understand I can ask and get it explained. So it's a good thing.

Today, I think we're going to head up the the zocalo market again for the last time. Nothing else is really going on though. Things have gotten pretty slow and lazy. I like slow and lazy, but not when I want the next few days to go faster. We only have 96.5 hours to go though! That counts for something!

Oh, and Drew has temporarily fixed my computer. We have a large clamp/paperclip holding the top cornder so it doesn't fuzz out. It looks like I'm going to have to get my screen replaced though. I'm not too happy about that since it's a few hundred dollars. Hopefully my clamp will hold out til we can save up some money? Bummer....

Sunday #8, Monday #8

We have NO MORE SUNDAYS OR MONDAYS HERE!!! It's a celebration! Rundown of Sunday: We didn't do diddly. It was great. Drew and I played Texas hold em on the CPU's for quite a number of hours. I also watched the rest of Mary Poppins and Goonies. Horacio's daughters came over for dinner - I'm glad we got to see them again before we take off. Uhm, nothing else really- it was a pretty decent downer of a day.

Today, I have a new teacher. She is horrid. She got all pissy at me cause I didn't pluralize something, and so I said, but in THIS sentence, it isn't pluralized, so why would I pluralize it? And she looks at it again, and says, oh, sorry. I HATE when people do that to me. It's like, either read the sentence or don't say anything. There was also a HORRIBLE sentence example: You were studying medicine, but you got married. ?!?!!? SERIOUSLY!?? What kind of SHIZZZZZZZZ is that? The other student in class thought it was perfectly good, and I *know* it's just an example, but it's a horrible example. Hi, my name is maddy, I'm going to medical school. Joeblow:Hey maddy, I think you're cute, wanna get married? Maddy: Ok, getting married is SO MUCH WORK, I better crush my hopes and dreams and throw them in the toilet without toilet paper and get married, WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

pshaw!

OK, so otherwise, I'm not doing so hot in my class, I don't get it, and the teacher doesn't have the patience to explain it to me, and she talks too fast, so even if she did, I can't understand her. I have 12 more hours of this crap and I can leave. :D So I'm going to hold on to dear life. I will be a "good" student. ^-^

We don't have any plans today. Lidia is heading up to D.F. again today, we told her not to worry about us for dinner, that if we were at home, we'd just eat cereal. I think she's planning on having the maids feed us. I don't like when she does that. Maybe we can go out and eat something. Oh, and i Have some pictures, but since my cpu is on the fritz, I'm lucky I've gotten this far with typing, I'm not going to upload pics til we get home I think, cause I am uberly frustrated with my laptop and might just kill it if I have to fix my screen one more time today.

So yeah, that's about it. I come home in 120 hours!
