Hello everyone! I'm sorry for not writing lately, I have been swamped with homework. Already I have to read a whole book (in Spanish of course), make a culture powerpoint presentation, write a paper on the differences between american t.v. and mexican t.v., on top of all the other normal homework, and then to top it all off I only have like 2 weeks to write and essay, make a 30 min. powerpoint presentation, and come up with an activity for our class to do for my first exam partial! AHHHH! I don't think I have ever had this much homework at once at UNC-G. It wouldn't be bad at all...if it was in ENGLISH! But I'm here to struggle and either sink or swim right....hopefully I will swim.
So let's see what have I done since I posted last. Well I went to a club last Thursday night...yes that's right, little ole granny heather went to a club! This was my first club experience EVER. Yes I am almost 22 years of age and I had never been to a club...and needless to say I HATED IT. It was worse than I imagined. There were far too many people there...so many you really couldn't walk without putting all of your "junk" on someone else just to squeeze through. The music really sucked...just terrible remixes to terrible songs. There was no fire code (I don't know if this is normal here in
Mexico, I'm assuming it is), so everyone was smoking and lighting their cigarettes the whole time. This constant smoking produced a haze, pretty much a light fog, that hovered above the dance floor the whole time. I'm pretty sure my lungs are going to develop some type of cancer or disease from all this second-hand smoking I experienced. But the worse part was the guys...man are they persistent. guy- "oh hey dance with me and I'll buy you a drink", me-"No thank you", guy-"o come on just one dance and I'll buy you a drink", me-"really no thank you", guy-"ok well I'm going to buy you a drink anyway", me-"Really I don't want you to buy me a drink"....and this goes on until I get fed up and tell him I'm going to the bathroom and then never return. I just don't understand how you wouldn't get the point after 6 or 7 times of me rejecting you??? It is entirely needless for me to say that I will NEVER return to a club, probably in my whole life. But at least I tried it right?
Anyway, I haven't really been able to have much fun lately for all the school work I've been having to do. But once I power through this semester I will have almost a whole three months to travel and explore and just sit on my butt and do absolutely nothing! Ah, I can't wait. The going is tough but I know that this experience will fly by and in December I'll be wondering, "Where did all my time go?". So I better stop belly aching and just go with it, right? Right.
I will try to update everyone as soon as anything exciting happens. Miss you all and love you all very much! Talk to you soon! ¡Hasta luego!
