Last Friday was the last night that one of the girls was here because she left for home early the next morning. A bunch of us went out to dinner and then out to Fucilado where Coleman and Alex were working. It was a lot of fun. Its a smaller place and further out of the way, so generally the only people there are those that are laid back and easy going who like to laugh and joke around. About nine of us were there and the owners and maybe three other people, but the owners are so laid back that they hang out with anyone there-they also stayed open two or three more hours because we were all up there. Then I went to Amy's house to help her finish packing and spend a little more time with her. It was hard to say goodbye. Its going to be even harder at the end of this month when so many people leave. I want to cry just thinking about it. I walked home and ran into a friend and was talking to her when some guys from Leon were looking for a place to go so we took them to La Dama, its another salsa place, but actually a lot better than El Bar. I didnt want to stay there so I walked outside where one of the Leon guys was waiting because he didn't want to stay there either. He was actually a lot nicer than I thought he would be based on what his friends had been saying and even walked me home. The best part about it is that we took the smallest hill in the city of Guanajuato to my house because its only three minutes from where La Dama is and he was so out of breath he could hardly talk. I felt a little proud of getting used to the altitude and massive hills-it was rough after spring break. Then next night was really relaxed. I laid out in the sun on Casey's roof for two hours during the day and got pretty burned, but its all tan now:) I lose my tan so quickly here, its ridiculous! That night we got pizza and had Jecca, Becca, Alex, Alex's boyfriend Andrew and Kelsey over and Caseys to watch a movie and chill out. It was nice to not have to get ready or anything like that and I do not even remember what happened Sunday, but I am pretty sure I wasted the whole day. So much happens here I forget things quickly. Monday started class again and my 4 hour class was rough, the prof was in a bad mood and we didnt even get a break. Tuesday I found out that I didnt have my art class all week and because I didnt go last week and we have next Tuesday off I will have missed two and a half weeks. Wensday I procrastinated and wrote my paper for yesterday. Later yesterday we all got dressed up and went out to a nice resaurant before we went salsa dancing at el Bar. Arturo said that I had a mischeivious face...I dont understand it but both Becca and Alex agreed with him. I should really find out what they mean by that. For some reason, we have both Monday and Tuesday off so tomorrow Casey and I are leaving for Morelia. Its supposed to be really pretty and not touristy with really gorgeous and historic towns until Sunday. Then we will leave to go to Puebla, where the biggest celebration is in Mexico is for Cinco de Mayo, where Alex and Jecca are going to meet up with us. Its interesting here because Cinco de Mayo isn't even really a holiday here. Its when the Mexicans beat the French in a war, but the French came back and overthrew the Mexicans a year later. Puebla is where the battle happened apparently. We will see how this goes. Also, the girl in my class from Turkey is leaving Monday and today was her last class. I feel like this month is going to FLY by and I will not be ready for it!
