<DIV>Well its been awhile since i have wrote
one these its time for an update! Well its
kind of been boring the last week and half.
</DIV>
<BR>
<DIV>T
wo
fridays ago i went out with Emily,
Sarah, and Dina. I was really tired and i
didnt feel like going out. So we went to
dinner in down town Puebla. the place that we
wanted to go was full so we went a little
resturant down the street, next to an amazing
salsa club. We sat down at a table out side
but the misquitos were crazy so we moved
inside. We ordered spigettie (however you
spell it) but i got mine with meat suace. The
rest of the girl just got tomato sause. After
dinner we went walking around called a cab and
went back to the dorms. It was around Midnight
and i see the Laura and Jennifer are in the TV
room about to watch a movie. So i eat popcorn
and watch a movie with them. I went to bed
right after that. I woke up around 6am with a
horroble tummy ach. I was cursed with a bad
case of food piosoning. After i was done
throwing up my face, i called my mom. She was
like "honey just go to the pharmacy and get
this that and some of this" I had to explain
to her that it was not the easy. First i would
have to hobble ( if you remember my foot was
messed up) to the front desk and some how have
her call a taxi, then once the taxi got there
to pick me up i would have to argue with the
cab driver ( who speaks espanol) to take me to
the nearest pharmacy. One i got there i would
some how describe my symptoms to the spanish
speaking pharmasist. I told my mom just make
me feel better now and last on tonight i will
go to the store. After i got off the phone
with her. I feel right to sleep. From the
night before till later the afternoon, i slept
a total of 16 hours. Not counting the hour i
was up and being sick. I had Neal go the
Pharmacy with me. And i was right i had to act
out throwing up in order to get the right
meds. She said oh Dramamine! When she said
that, it was like in slow motion music to my
ears! I was so happy. We took a cab back to
the dorms, i popped a few of those sleepy
pills and i was out for anoth 14 hours.
So last Thursday we took a day trip the the
Pyramid of the Flowers and it was boring. That
night i went out with Sarah and Emily. We went
to an awesome cantina with a Mariachi Band!
The margarits were the best ever! It was a
great dinner beside the fact that i ordered
something and got something totally different
then i thought. I flirted with one of the
Mariachi Band members. It was great! Then
after dinner our friend Jamie (pronounced 'Hym
A') took us to a near by salsa club, and this
is wear it gets sticky. WE were haveing a
great time. Emily was danceing with Jamie,
Sarah and I were crowd scoping and chating.
Laura, Jennifer, Ross and Neal showed up.
Laura was so cute she had been drinking and
she was haveing a damn good time. After being
there for an hour or so, and old fat man asked
me to dance. I was like oh it wouldnt hurt to
dance a little. So after the first dance i sat
back down and five minutes later he asked me
to dance again. so i did trying to dance as
bad as i could so he wouldnt ask me to dance
again. I sat back down and sure enough the old
scarey man asked me again!!!! I said i was
tired and he walked away...FOR ABOUT TWO
SECONDS! He would not take no for an answer!
So i got my happy ass up and danced with him
again. After that song i was like GIRLS WE
HAVE GOT GO! i felt bad makeing the girls
leave, but i was afriad that the man was gonna
ask me to go home with him! AHHHHHH!
That next day i went to the pool around 11 and
i was alone for about an hour untill Sarah and
Emily showed up. It was nice to be alone for
that hour. But i was excited the Sarah and
Emily showed up. I enjoy their company! then
the other girls came and we spent about three
hours at the pool gossiping and what not. We
left and went back to the dorm. I changed and
met Sarah, Emily, dina and Crystal in the
courtyard. Our plan was to find a place to eat
lunch and go to the Cholula town square. We
walked to a place called Karma Begals! It was
so yummy. While we were there it started
raining and HAILING! it was crazy so we waited
till the storm was over and said we will go to
the square later this week. We walked back to
the dorms. I bought a few braclets along the
way! That night i decided to not go out,
instead Sarah. Emily, Dina and I watched the
movie Chocolate. I think i found my new
favorite movie! It is my new favorite movie!
After watching that we wanted chocolate so
bad! So we called a cap and went to Walmart!
He got some mexican hot chocolate, popcorn and
M&Ms! We got back made the hot chocolate in
Dina´s appartment, talked for quite a while
and i went to bed.
The next morning i woke up and went upstairs
to see what Jessica was doing! O hung out with
her for a while. I decided i was going to
Cholula that day. The only person that wanted
to go was Luara! So we showered and went
shopping all afternoon in Cholula´s town
square! I bought a poncho and bracelts and a
ring! YAY. Around 5pm we decided to go back
to eat somewhere around our dorms. So we hoped
on a bus that we thought was the right one.
NOPE...we ended up on the a different side of
Cholula that was have never sence before..It
was a little scarey but it was all good..it
was still light outside! We got home dropped
our stuff off and went and grabbed a burger.
WE came back i finshed a movie that Emily and
Sarah started. It was in spanish and i couldnt
stop watching, it was really good! Laura came
and found me and told me that she was going to
have a few drinks with Ross and Neal i was
welsome if i wanted! I was like heck yes! So
we had one drink at Arrachera´s and then went
to Bambooka´s were i can get huge margaritas
for 4 bucks! I told myself i need to be in bad
by midnight because i was going to Teotiauhcan
in 7 am in the next morning! But nope that
didnt happen. After Bambooka´s we went to Club
Bling to have a beer. Then we went to El
Tigré and had another beer. I saw my
classmater there. One of the seminaries was
there named Mike and then Christina! i talked
to them for awhile untill Luara was ready to
leave! We then we went to La Corcholoata! This
place was awesome,, they were playing American
music! the even play YMCA in spanish! lol how
crazy is that! That place has a chiar that is
hanging from the ceiling and you spin in it
after a few drinks. Luara got in it twice. I
get dizzy really easily so i did not even
tempt it!I told laura that was the best night
i hd since i got there...it was so much
fun,,,i think becasue we werent in a big
group, and the people meshed well together! I
made it to bed around 2:30 and 6 am came all
to soon! lol

That Saturday was kinda boring, the girls and I went to the market that the woman told us about! and we stayed home that night and made some sandwitches! We knew we had to get a good night sleep because we had to get up early the next morning for a day trip into La Cuidad de Mexico ( Mexico City). Tres, Ross, Neil, and Jessica planned on going out for one beer and being back by 11pm. I went to bed kind of homesick, but i think i was the fact that not talking about justin was getting to me! I dont know i thought going somewhere with people not knowing what has gone on in my life lately would be good, but i think its more difficult. I guess we will see what happens to my sanity, mabey its part of the healing process!
Sunday moring came all to soon! I had to get up at 6 am and be at the bus by 730am. I met the girls in the courtyard around 7am and found out the Niel and Jessica did what they siad they were going to do, have one beer and be back by 11:30. Tres and Ross went out and partied hard. We could not find them anyewhere. We went to the ATM and then to the bus stop. We found glassy eyed Tres there, and still Ross was nowhere to be found! we loaded the bus around 745 and on the schedual it said we were leaving at 8. right as the driving turned on the bus. We could see Ross running towards us. Jessica said she had kicked him door like crazy to try and wake him up but he didnt wake up. He siad he just opened his eyes and saw that it was 745. i guess he just hauled ass and made it on time! The trip over all sucked! The ride to Mexico City was beautiful, but the contents of the trip were fun at all! Before we loaded off the bus, the tour guiedes advised what not to do. They said it all in spanish, and Tres translated. he told me to walk every where by my self, take candy from strangers, go to bath rooms alone, and take drugs if offered. Of course he was kidding! We visted 3 musuems and had the most gross expensive lunch ever! We got to shop a total of 10 mintues! Sharkira was haveing a free concert in the zocolo ( city square). the tour guides siad the they city was expecing over a million people to be there that night. The catherdral in the zocolo was the largest Cathedral in the Western Hemisphere. I went inside briefly and bought my parents some rosaries from some little nuns!
the next week consisted of early nights, and exams on Thrusday ( may 31)....i am tired i will start this one tommorrow!

ok picking up where i left off about thursday! Yes jessica met a very cute guy! And i think we finished the night staggering home! Tres carried me some of the way! thank god!
Friday morning was not fun! I remeber the night before when i got to my room, i fell on my bed, stripped down to me undiesand passing out! I had to go to the bath room a few times, and if only i had camera! I had one arm over my bare chest and the other arm holding on the wall so i could hop on my good foot to the bath room down the hall. Thank goodness my roomate had not arived and any of my suitemates werent up useing the restroom at the same time because they would of been in for a peep show! I woke up with my foot throbing and a really bad hangover! But i did wake up by myself, 9 am the cleaning crew came in and was telling my something an Spanish! All igot out of it was I had to leave my room for about 20 min so they could spray for bugs! I got up, got dressed and hobbled out into the court yard where i was met with all the other hung over girls! If only we had our cameras! All the mexican cleaning ladies were laughing at us, not only because we looked so darn beautiful but i was hobbling and hung over! I then went a checked my facebook, and went back to bed! I woke up around 2 pm jumped in the shower and tried to start my day! I talk to the crew and we decided we would go the movies! believe it or not it only cost 4.75$ for a movie here! isnt that crazy! So we went to Triangleo Mall, went to Applebees for dinner! ( it was kind sad because Applebees was the last place justin and i went out for dinner 2 days before he passed away) But i held up for the most part! when we walked in I walked past a table of people speaking english! we sat down and a woman came over and asked where we were from. Turns out she was from OKLAHOMA! her family was transfered to Puebla, because of her husbands work. she let us know a few tips where to eat and how to get around. She even gave us her number if we needed anything like a free meal or a ride! She introduced us to her 4th grade daughter, how was completely fulent in Spanish after only living here for one year! crazy huh! After eating out cheese burgers and jessica sharring a borwnie sunday. We went saw Pirates if the Carr. As i was sitting down there. The boys reminded me that the night before i let them in on the fact that my chest is not real. Im not going to lie! I was little embarressed! the movies was long and borring! After the movie it was hard trying to call a cab! It was porring down rain and my ankle was killing me! After sitting at the mall for an hour the cab finally came ... it was about 12:30 midnight! It was the end of another day in Puebla!

The first week of class was interesting! Breakfast is at 8 am and class starts at 9:20. My first class is Grammer and it last until 11:00 and then my next class starts 11:20 and is over at 1:00pm. Monday and Wednesday i got to a two hour pottery class, which seems like fun but after and hour i am ready to leave,
LastMonday we all took a bus to Walmart where i gotsome walking shoes and a few other things. Takening the bus is a lot cheaper then taxis but it is a rough ride! I was so tired after that. that night Neal, Ross, Tres, Jessica, and I went to a lounge bar called Utopia. Its really cute, it has white leather chairs, everything is white with black lights. Its but one drink get one free! So we figured that would be our regular place.
Tuesday we went to a bar called Tiki, where our friend Kyle was haveing a going away party. He had spent the last pring semester at ULDA, and was leaving that following morning! We played a game called Buddy ears,,,its a really fun drinking game that i will surly introduce to all my friends back home! We also found out that Tiki had a great drink special, 10 leters of beer and six appitizers for 300 pesos. (30 bucks) Between the eight of us its great deal! We finished the night at Utopia, were i got a margartia! yum yum yum
Thursday was crazy! It all started off with me busting my ass at the dorms on the tile outside. It just so happens that we were leaving to go to the bars! It had been raining and i sliped and rolled my ankle. It hurt so frickin bad, so i was like i am still going out, and I am going to drink alot so I wont feel how frinkin bad it hurts! We started with beer at Tiki, then Utopia for some Sex on Beach drinks. Our bartener gave us all free shots of tequilla, Jessica didnt take hers so Luara and I split it! then a few guys i knew from class walked into Utopia, and Cody (from Mississippi) grabed my hand and started Salsa danceing with me! HELLO with me broken foot! its was OK i couldnt feel it! lol Then we deiced to go to a dance club! OH MAN we had to walk like a mile, by then the tequilla was wearing off! Tres Carried me some of the way! We got to Club Bling, and started drinking Vodka and sprite! I think we broke a total of 3 glasses, because we were so far gone! lol Jessica met a cute guy from...

<DIV>Well I finally got to Puebla Friday
around 9 pm! Flying was interesting, landing
was pretty rough when we got to Puebla. I met
all the student from OSU and i was really glad
that they were so down to earth! The
dormatories are very nice. They are have
mexican architechture painted light brown with
royal blue walk ways. The walk ways are all
open ans they lead it a beautiful courtyard.
My room is very nice, huge wood furniture.
Sadly my bed is hard as a rock, and the big
blanket feels like plastic. Dont worry though
i took it off and there is a flece like
blanket under it. The walls are really thin so
i hear alot of stuff at night, but thankfully
i have been to sleepy that i sleep right
through it. The birds wake me up though in the
morning, but hey at least its not an anoying
alarm clock! My spanish speeching roomate will
becomeing in a week or so. Thats going to be
interesting, because my spanish speaking
abilities are rather limited. The univerisity
aka UDLA, where i am at is beautiful, gardens
everywhere, a few fountains, and a very pretty
pond sitting in the middle of campus. I
learned the UDLA is the most expensive school
in Mexico, and the students come from very
weathly families, which i thought was very
interesting.</DIV>
<BR>
<DIV>My
first day here was no stop. We all met
at 8 am for breakfast followed by orination
and a tour of campus. In orination that UDLA
student put on skits to telling us dos and
dont on and off of campus such as: was taxis
are safe and what not to do wile bar hopping
and clubin! lol Also the UDLA dancers put no a
performace showing us how to Salsa!!! It was
frickin sweet! For lunch was were served
spanish appitizers, there was a small sloppy
joe tasting thing and crackes with sundried
tomatoes and goat cheese, yum. The traditional
refresco was rice milk, which was pretty good!
After lunch am professor let us rest before we
walked a mile in a half to Chilula. That was
one hellish trip but it was worth it because
we saw some beautiful churches along the way.
Chilula is known for having the largest based
pyramid. We ended up in a public square with
huge trees and lot of little resturants! We
walked back to UDLA after getting some
smoothies! When was returned we took a bus to
the mexican Walmart. It alot like the ones at
home. But the bus ride was the most
interesting because we got to see more of the
Puebla and Chilula area. We got back to UDLA
and we were all super hungery,so we walked
down the street to a resturant where we all
ordered quesidillas con pollo y cervesas
(chicked quesidillas and beer). It was alot
like something i could make myself at home :).
It was funny after my second beer i have to
use the restroom. So I got up and walk to the
baños. I stood in front of two doors which
said "hombres" and "damas". I was pretty sure
dames was ladies but i wasnt sure. So i turned
around and Crystal( a OSU student) was
smileing at me and siad "Damas". I thought i
was very cool that Crystal was right there to
guide me to the right restroom! :) After
dinner a few of us still wanted to have a few
more cervasas so we went to the store and I
bought my first 40 oz of Sol ( which is their
main type of beer). Ross, Jessica, Trace and I
went to Trace's dorm. I didnt finish my 40 oz
unfortunatly. I was to tired so i went to bed
around 11pm
Today was really fun. We all met at the bus
pick ups at 10:20 and we went on a schedauled
tour of Puebla. We saw the place where the
city was founded and then we went to all the
markets surounding the area. I was a ton of
Mexican culture booths like art, clothing,
jewlery, and of course food! I met a very
goodlooking UDLA conselor there, who looked
very american. He spoke clear english at times
but then he would try and talk to in Spanish
which was hard but i picked up a few words! I
found out that he is not American, he was born
and raised in Mexico and is working on his
third language which is Italian! ohh lala
hehe... We all had lunch. Stace and Niel
ordered a dish common to Mexico, it was
chicken enchiladas with choclate cuase, Not
even kidding. I tried it and it was not bad. I
also learned the beef is not common here. I
wanted beef tacos but they siad my chioces
were chicken or donkey. Crazy huh? lol ok well
tonights plans are getting some dinner and
going to bed early. Shakria is haveing a
conert on campus tonight, and seeing that the
walls are thin i might be using ear plugs
tonight lol! Wich me luck class starts
tomorrow! Adios amigos!
