Jalapa was fun. It seems like a really European city. Has nice winding, cobblestone alleys and pretty little plazas and stuff. We took a day trip out into the country. Went to a waterfall. The pathway to the bottom where we could swim was closed, but that wasnt gonna stop me from swimming. A couple of us hiked up psat the waterfall and up the river to find a good swimming spot. I was the only one that ended up swimming. It was a tad cold but I like swimming. It was very entertaining…almost got swept downstream, kinda fast moving. Took cool pictures under a mini-waterfall, see other website if you wanna, and then got leeches. It was the fooniset shet err. Caught on video too. I got out of the water glanced at my legs…took a double glance and then started screaming and thrashing and rubbing my legs. Oh good times. I love New York. Spent the rest of the day wandering around Jalapa waiting for out midnight bus back to Oaxaca. It was a shitty bus ride and the fatty next to me kept leaning over. I didnt sleep much. Came home to Oax at 8am and forgot I didnt do my homework, so spent all day doing that and then went to class. Rough day, but it was worth it.
I am starting to run more in the mornings…aka I started today. Need to get into shape for lacrosse. I want to get good this year. Im the fastest on the team which helps, but I need more endurance. The stick skills are the hardest part for me. Oh well.
Got the class list for Huxley and what I need to sign up for. It was a little bit of a shock, but I´m excited. Prolly will be hard but thats life. I need to bring my GPA up. Below a 3.0 sucks, but I have taken harder classes than most people. Other than the required class my options are ESCI 325 Fundamentals of Ecology , ESCI 340 Biostatistics and ESCI 340 Water Quality and/or lab. Sweet. Mmm biostatistics sounds great.
Still trying to figure out the house thing. Maybe I could live at Lake McMurray…only about 40 minute drive. And I could chill with Woody there and have the Eurovan. No. No es posible. NO!!!
Im not going to the surf competition this weekend in Puerto Escondido for two reasons…maybe three. One is I need to try to get a good start on all my final papers considering I have two weeks to do them. I hate myself. The second is money and the third is travelling with the whole group is annoying sometimes because everyone wants to do different things and some of the peeps are f$$kin nutz.
I hate spending all this time in internet cafes, but it is the only option I have. Kinda expensive too. Almost a dollar an hour, but it adds up over these couple months. ok ahorita me voy por los nubes con mis amigos.
Remember this place: Sunset Lounge, Veracruz.

Don’t explain yourself cause talk is cheap
There’s more important things than hear you speak
