Now Presenting: Two for the Price of One

As some of you may have seen in Facebook the other day, I did not post yesterday due to the fact that I did not finish a homework assignment until 3 AM ('twas very exciting).  So, in this blog I will try to quickly (haha, me, quickly recap something...) tell you about my day today (Thursday) and yesterday (Wednesday).

So, Wednesday started out well.  I got up, went to school (learned that I had a presentation and a paper due tomorrow.  We received the requirements for the paper and presentation that day), then came home and did homework.  I even learned (self learning experience) that I do indeed need my alone time.  In other words, I was a little tired of people (not that I don't love all of the people I'm with, I truly do appreciate and love spending time with them) so, even though there was an opportunity to do homework with others from my class right after school, I decided to go into my room, turn on some music, and go solo.  Which ended up being a nice respite (I even danced a little).

Anyway, after homework, Christina, Conner, Claire, Profe, and I went to Costco (it was very kind of him to drive us there) because Conner needed to buy a camera.  So we went, explored a little, and ate pizza!  (My trip to Mexico is complete!  I can now return home satisfied :P)  The pizza wasn't as good as the states, but it was a'right.

After Costco, we returned home.  Conner, Christina, and Claire went to go see a movie (I had not desire to see the movie they were going to go seeing) and I stayed home and did homework.  Well, actually I fell asleep for three hours (which was awesome!  What's ironic is, I'd thought, "oops, hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight!"  What I didn't realize is I wouldn't be sleeping anyway, so it didn't matter, lol).  After the nap (which I conveniently woke up right as Conner and Christina returned) we all worked on our group presentation (via google drive.  SUCH a cool thing to use, by the way.  I never realized that working on a project all at the same time was possible).  After we split up, we continued working on our project.  At some point, we took a break for food and ate...hotcakes!



They.  Were.  Delicious!!!  *ahem*

After dinner, Christina and I returned to our room to resume our homework (at one point I did a Skype call with my classmates to discuss the paper.  It was very helpful).  As previously mentioned, I didn't finish until about 3 AM that morning (bout 2 AM I stopped to take a shower in hopes of restarting my brain.  Which, actually worked, and I was able to finish my paper shortly after).  Then I had the awesome happiness of waking up at 5:40 for school.  For which, I dragged myself out of bed, got dressed, pulled my hair back into a ponytail, packed my bag, and headed out of the door (Christina and I looked so dead).

By some miracle, we managed to survive four hours of class (our 321 professor let us out a little early.  I think he felt sorry for all of us - we were all short on sleep).  Then we came home and took naps (took me a little while to fall asleep).  I napped on and off/watched Fresh Prince till about 6 PM (though we did wake up at 2 PM for our lunch - tostadas!  They were delicious).

About that time Christina went to the centro with Conner and I stayed behind to figure out some financial stuff (studying abroad is...expensive).  At about 7 PM my MM came and asked if I needed anything from the store - she was going shopping.  So I asked if I could go with her, and I did!

So we went to the mall (which has a grocery store in it, crazy right??  In Spanish it's called el centro de commercial).  I got to pet some bunnies, look at some ducks and guinea pigs (they had a pet store there as well).  And I also got to buy some delicious strawberry sorbete and view the whole mall (we did a little walk through) before we did the grocery shopping.  It was fun!  (And I learned that you can't take pictures inside of the mall...hence the lack of pictures).

We returned about 9 PM.  Put the groceries away.  Ate dinner.  And then I stared at Facebook and talked with one of my siblings for a little while (which was nice).

And that about wraps it up!

'Til Tomorrow.
