First Week

So much paper work to be completed this week!!! Realized that the taxi's don't always know where they're going... also when I am by myself they will use the meter but lately they've said the meter is broken and so we have to negotiate a price.

I have two roommates from the United States, one from Texas and one from St.Louis. I am enjoying meeting all the new International students. Yet, very happy that we've made some local friends.

On Wed night, my roommate and I took a taxi downtown to meet a friend to go out, we ended up getting in a car and parked right in front of our house.. baaaaahahahaha it was ridiculous!!! Took a 70 pesos taxi downtown, just to return and park right in front of our house, we went to a club right around the corner from our house. It was a fun fun fun night, filled with lots of dancing!!!!

Thurs night we hit up an international student party. Which was also within walking distance of our house. At first there was an overwhelming amount of people I didn't know and felt a tad shy. After a rum and coke, my spanish flowed fluently and I met some new friends =)

Friday morning's hour bus ride to school was dreadful!!! Mexico is NOT the best place to be hung over, due to awkward morning smells, and bumpy, jerky bus rides. My school isn't that far from the house but because of the stopping it takes about an hour, but by taxi it takes about 20 mins. We then went on a school trip to Tequila, where Jose Cuervo was created in the 1700s, the oldest business in MEXICO!!!! ( I think) I went on the Spanish tour, so facts may have been lost in translation.

We got to try a sample of Tequila Blanco, I figured why not, "THEY" do say if your hungover just keep going, well I think "THEY" are wrong!!! It tasted awful!! I wanted to cry...

After the tour of the distillery we got free Margaritas, those were much better!!!

My roommate and I then walked downtown for a bit, very beautiful because the town is in like a valley. But as I was enjoying the surrounding scenery some little brat either shot me with a bb gun or chucked a small rock at me. Either way it STUNG!!!

After an hour bus ride home from Tequila, we had to take another hour bus ride home from school... oooh man... thanks for IPODSSSS

We went out for dinner that night, it was a pretty fancy place, not what I was expecting. Then went out to bar with international students, it was fun but very crowded and didn't really feel like drinking too much. But the music was awesome!! The live band played a mix of songs including Ting Tings, Kings of Leon, and Killers. Drummer boy, not so hot =( but the lead singer was kinda cute =)

*Note To Self* do not get bottle service, when you already have an upset stomach, alcohol will not help!!!!

Sat, we went out to lunch downtown, it was DELICOUS!!!

I thought the draining system at UBC was bad, but here it's worse!!! Saturday night there was a storm, roads were flooded, cars were stuck in the flooded roads, but apparently thats normal, so we still went out.

Went to a bar called Bali Bar with some locals, it was fun, a live band, of course I fell in love with the drummer ahahah... Lots of dancing!!!

I am very excited for this semester!!! Me gusta mi vida!!!
