to be continued...

Yesterday I wandered around like a loser, for once not having anything to do but my Spanish composition that I didn´t want to do. On the bright side, I took Audrey and Proshanti to the bakery and I got yogurt-bread... I´m pretty sure it´s made WITH yogurt because it sure didn´t have any yogurt in it. I went to Survey class. Ahh, me... and freaked out over the midterm we had today. I ate lunch with Priscilla, a buddy who´s also Russian or something crazy like that, at Wok the chinese place. She´s a total Spanglish speaker. At 2 we had a Nature meeting where they explained the jungle to us. He (Daniel, guy in charge) spoke about conservation and biodiversity and stuff which made me continue to think about taking some bio classes. He then got into the nitty gritty things, like: pirhanas aren´t dangerous and you´re going to swim with them, the tarantulas won´t bother you and neither will the giant toads bigger than your foot; there are giant ants half the size of your pointer finger and don´t let them bite you because it´ll feel like you got run over by a horse for a couple of hours. You´re going to be wet and hot and follow all the safety regulations and there are no fashion police. You might get to see a jaguar and oh did I mention that there are a lot of bugs? I have no problem whatsoever with bugs (just ask my roommate) but it looked like a couple of the other kids might. I was worried that I´d be all wimpy and stuff, but not I´m really not. The only thing is that there´s this one apparatus in which you pretty much go up into the canopy of the forest, which is pretty high up. Good thing I practiced going up on the roof with Dad, right? So that took up all our class time and I went back on the bus. Z wasn´t home when I got home, which was weird for her, but I buckled down to my composition... more or less (Z called me; she was still out with Enrique after having heard his son´s doctorate defense in mechanical engineering or something crazy)... I ate dinner (mushroom soup, chicken leg, rice patties, something that looked like deep-fried broccoli) and skpyed Mom, which made me SO happy. Although I´m pretty sure she´s not supposed to, Z went over the evaluation of me WITH me and kept telling me how nice I am (I know, I know...)and I eventually went to bed after packing everything for the beach in Beth´s magic backpack. I dreamed of Georgetown and woke up a little later than normal because our buses left at 7:20 this morning instead of 7; don´t know why. We were late, of course, because traffic was terrible, and I went on over to the library for class with Ana María. We went over my paper for Survey and she really flattered me; she said that she corrects my papers like she would for a native speaker. My problem is with paragraphs... I have to unlearn a few things from AP English. So afterward I went to the lab, frantically corrected my paper while a mom and prospective student made small talk with me, and printed... Then we had a surprise meeting with Veronica, the professor. Basically what happened was that a girl´s camera was stolen last night... it turned into a big drama mostly because stories got mixed up and the kids were probably drunk, which is a big no-no. So afterward we had to rush to our Survey exam which didn´t kill me. I took some money out of the ATM for the beach (hotel, university bus, and such) and ate a kind of gross chicken caesar salad... maybe I should stick with the rice! Margoh and Lola took me to a fro-yo place, then I panicked and decided that I needed to blog before, I don´t know, going to sleep with the tarantulas. Ah, just kidding. Well, kind of :)
