Yesterday, I really had nothing planned- it was all supposed to be today. I was supposed to go to this natural medicine lady who lived way in another town. I was excited about this because she�s supposed to be really god and kind of "magical," (not really magic, but you know...). Well, the doctor that came and spoke to our class on Monday was going to take me. I didn�t want to go by myself with him, since it�s kind of out there and a little difficult to arrive to where she lives, so I asked Kahuna to come with me. He has been sick, lately, and was interested anyhow. Over the weekend, other people ended up hearing about it and were interested, too. Allegra wanted to go if I went on Saturday, since she had plans for Sunday. Delphine wanted to go if I went on Sunday, but not too early since she was going somewhere late on Saturday night. So I figured, well, cool, this is good- at least I won�t be alone. At the same time, though, I didn�t want us all showing up like a big tourist group, since this isn�t a tourist thing. It�s just small town doctor doing her business, and for very little pay, too.
Okay- to add on, I planned on going to the Joan Sebastain concert tonight. He is a big ranchero (kind of like Mexican Country music) singer, and I love his music! He�s my favorite! Right now the fair is going on in Cuernavaca and every year, he comes. So, I went to go get advance tickets yesterday, and the place had already closed. I was disappointed because I knew I should have gone first, instead of going to the computer lab. Also, I had been waiting to buy tickets because I thought maybe, this guy I know was going to ask me if I wanted to go with him and had already had tickets. I say this because I recall having mentioned to him one time how much I liked Joan Sebastian and he told me all this stuff about how he lived near him and how he comes here every year and all. The funny thing is that I thought he was lying and such, because he had also told me that he (the guy) was a really well known professional golf player in Mexico, one of the best. A friend and I went to a friend of his� house one time in a really nice area here called Tabachines, where a lot of wealthy people live. Well, anyhow, turns out he was telling the truth about himself and the golf and all, and he does play in the U.S., too, but none of this really matters. Anyhow, I never really heard anything much else from him, since spring break came up and all, but out of nowhere he calls on Thursday, a day that I am busy and not in the house. He left a message with Claudia and then another message on the answer machine. So, I got the message really late because nobody ever writes down any messages for me- they just tell me when they get home, which happened to be really late. So, I tried and tried to get up with him and even waited at home on Friday night to see if I could. I never could. I think he went out of town. So, there went my free Joan Sebastian ticket. No- I�m kidding. I would have felt really awkward if he had bought me a ticket, even if he could have afforded it. He might have felt like I owed him or something. But, it sucked becuase Allegra had wanted to go to the fair on Friday evening with me, but I spent it sitting around waiting for him to call.
So, to sum it all up, the doctor that was going to meet us asked us to meet him in Cuatla, a town about 1 and 30 minutes away this morning at 8:30! There was no way- that cut out Delphine, since she couldn�t have gotten up that early, Allegra was out because she could only do it Saturday, and Kahuna ended up having a lot of work to do and couldn�t make it, and especally not that early, with it being Daylights savings and all. So, the doctor finally called me last night late, and I told him I couldn�t do it this weekend, maybe next weekend. I wasn�t about to go alone with him.
So, I went to church this morning, and then afterwards to buy my ticket, only to learn that they are sold out. This is disappointing, but not so bad, since I also learned that they are the equivalent of about $50 USD! I had no idea they were so expensive! So, my weekend with so many plans turned out that I ended up waiting and planning and talking with people, only to get nothing done in the end. Oh well- I guess that�s how they go sometimes. After I leave here, I think I will go to the fair, just to walk around, since I hadn�t been yet. Sorry about the length, but I hadn�t written in a while.
