okay. so here i am sitting in the computer lab at school...checking the usually things i check every weekday (myspace, facebook, email, lj) thinking more and more how excited i am to be going home. i do like it here, but i just feel like i am missing out on so much by being here (even though meg assured me that i wasnt missing anything and it is pretty slow and hot at home...just the way i like it). it is highly amusing that it is so hot at home...here i am in méxico and it is really not even hot at all....i mean it has its moments, but not like what i have been hearing about in c-town. I WANT TO GO TO MEGAN'S FAMILY REUNION AND GO DOWN THE RIVER LIKE I HAVE DONE SINCE 6TH GRADE...but of course it is happening the day before i get home. ugggg.
okay, so i am really tired of my music on my mp3...another thing i am looking foward to getting back home to...new musack!!!! ahaha.
okay...i dont mean to be complaining, but i am really excited to be going home so soon (less than 2 weeks from now)...being down here really makes me think a lot; of my friends, my lifestyle, the new people i am meeting, the things i want to be involved in, all the things i can do, my family, and just so much more. i like it, but sometimes it makes me really sad. family dynamics here is a really big thing, and it really makes me wish for my family to be the way it was when i was little. it wasnt even that great then, but i just thought it was. growing up really shows you so many things that you never really wanted to see. i heard this old song on the raido that i used to love (and still do)...but it really reminds me of my parents when they were having problems, but kinda still liked each other, and i just about started crying. i dont know why i am still bothered by my family situations, since they have been going on for so long, but i just am, and i think that being here really makes me see that. *hears the song in head* "after all that we've been through, i will make it up to you. i promise you. and after all thats been said and done, you're still the one...a part of me" i know its really cheesy and meant for people who actually make it through their rough times, but i will always think of my parents when i hear this song because they always will have had some good times and always be a part of each others lives.
okay. i need to stop this.
last weekend i headed out to ixtapa (the beach) and it was wonderful. i love being there. i felt so free to do whatever i wanted, it was definately what i needed to get away for the weekend. none of us wanted to come back to querétaro. it was like a 7 hour van ride....with a bad driver that practically made all of us very sick. the friday before we left we were talking about weekend plans in class and we told lúlu dos (one of our teachers...both of whom are named lúlu) where we were going and she replied with "how fun...and interesting. a nude beach" we were cracking up, b/c at the time we didnt know that there were nude beaches there..but then all of us got excited and decided in the car that we had to go to at least one.
by the time we got to ixtapa friday night, we were all really hot and tired. we found the hostel we were staying at after much searching and set up our stuff. it was definately a great place for my first hostel. i loved it there. we decided that we couldnt stay in the room all night b/c it was waaay too hot and went out for a drink where we met some odd icelandic guys who looked pretty young. after drinking a margarita and walking to set foot in the water we went back to our room for another first of mine...a nudie sleepover. it was so hot, everyone just slept naked.
saturday was filled with playing in the ocean and laying in the sun. and basically the same for sunday too....except not as much. oh, saturday night it rained...kinda a lot, but only for a short amount of time...but there was definately a lot of thunder and lightning. but we went to señor frogs saturday night and danced a lot. it was acutally kinda lame there, but the other girls liked it b/c they got lap dances with blue tequila....i stayed away from that. lol....i dont know why. we never actually made it to the nude beaches, we didnt want to search for them and then have to ditch they guys we came with...oh well...
this weekend i am heading to méxico d.f. (the capital of méxico) which has more people in that one city alone than all of canada, so that will be pretty exciting i think. then i will have one more weekend and head home monday...whahaahah.
i dont know what i am doing tonight, i usually have been going out wednesday night (but thats b/c it has been peoples birthdays for the last 3 weeks on wednesdays...and 21st birthdays at that) but i dont know what i am going to be doing tonight. i dont really wnat to head home, but i suppose ii can since i think i have been here for almost 3 hours loading pictures and stuff like that, but hey...free internet is free internet! maybe i will go look for some new converse...i am determined to find a strange pair that i havent really seen in the states...but i dont know if that will be happening, since if they are here...they should be in the u.s. too.
okay, i have done enough rambling
