I didn’t realize there’d be so much to do and talk about regarding going to college and being on my own and shit like that.
Currently I am not enjoying the Bucerias sun or out watching a parasailing contest happening on the beaches but doing HOMEWORK. It would be a miracle of I was able to finish my essay and homework all in one sitting, so that is my unachievable goal of the day. Buena Suerte to my kittens scrambling to finish their studies and homework before the semester ends.
REMINDER: I don’t have a texting plan for international, so please don’t text me. I have gotten texts three times—two of which were pictures which I can’t receive anyway because I don’t have data. Thank you.
This is my bedroom in Mexico. It’s colorful and has a view of the street with all the colorful restaurants and houses. I haven’t been up on the roof yet, so I don’t know if I can see the ocean from here even though we are about a block away. Today we went to Sayulita, a beach place with lots of tourists. It was somewhat of a hippie town. Someone, I kid you not, even took out a bag of pot trying to sell it to us because my grandmother had jokingly made a comment of this other guy’s shirt that had a marijuana leaf on it. The food here is delicious, though I’ve had only Italian (pasta and pizza). So far, I am loving it here. It is so lively and the people are very nice. There is music playing out in the street and I have everything I need, despite failing to pack some stuff. Also, I have no wifi and I’ve been busy so I haven’t had the time to check out the internet as much. I start volunteering on Monday and I’m excited to meet the kids. We are going to arts and crafts it up in that joint, that’s for sure. It’s too bad I didn’t think to bring any of my craft items because I think the kids would have loved to learn to macrame bracelets. dang! I am just going to buy stuff here. Also, I’m rolling without a debit card but only cash so my supply is limited.

I’m leaving for Mexico for a month and feelings of panic is gradually increasing. It will be fine. I will be safe and smart. These are the mantras for to tonight. Today I had all these things happening—my aunt arrived from Texas, I had to say goodbye to students and coworkers, I packed. There was so much talking and questions and people’s stuff everywhere. And I wished, for one second, that I didn’t have to go because I would rather be doing something quiet and familiar. I was missing regularity. I know I will have tons of fun when I get there and time will fly by, I just get a little uneasy when i’m not following my routine.
Time for bed. Goodnight!
Soooo my relatives from Washington are here. One of my uncles brought his 6 and 4 year old kids. I have been a very tired person for the best few days. Some of you know this because all I do now is complain. I’ll try to stop that. I have hid the following items: tubes of glitter, some jewelry, and makeup brushes. I have substituted doing homework for reading bedtime stories and it kind of sucks but they’re cute so I don’t mind so much. Last night I tried being the fun cousin as well as the student and ended up sleeping late and sleeping in (bad idea). Tonight I will take a shower, finish my recreational reading (which I’m excited about because I then get to watch the movie adaptation), and GO TO SLEEP.
Unfortunately I can’t start my essays I have to do because that requires referencing an article written two weeks before the due date (April 22nd). It’s too bad because I did some research and found a few articles that I like. So much for getting ahead!
In other news, relatives have shown up out-of-the-blue (I didn’t know they were coming until I saw them on my driveway) which is cool and stuff until it messes up with your schedule. My cousins from Washington that are 6 and 4 years old are here. It’s nice to see them though. :)
It’s weird to think that by the time I finish section two of my class, I will be in Mexico. I have so much Spanish to learn! GUYS, I AM FREAKING OUT. But it’s ok. It’s going to be ok.

I am on spring break and I think it’s pretty funny since I just came back from 2 weeks of vacation. :)
