| Well, I was supposed to have class today at 4, but the teacher didn�t show. Everyone was eager to practice the 15 minute rule, so at fiftteen minutes, we left. It really didn�t matter to me either way, but it�s not like I�m just going to sit there and wait for the teacher, either. It was funny because they were all like, "Yeah, hurry up! Everybody out! It won�t work if one person stays!" This is true. Even so, I do think that fifteen minutes is sufficient time to wait for the instructor. I don�t know what the rule is here, but I know that back at home it�s 10 minutes for student teachers and 15 for professors. Not too much happened yesterday, except that I went to church in the Centro. While there, I met an American girl from Ohio and we ended up walking around and had lunch. Actually, we were walking back to the church and I got lost. Not really lost, but I just couldn�t remember exactly how to get back to the Centro from the church. I got to the church from the Centro relatively easy. It was kind of funny because church ended at 12:30 but we didn�t get back to the centro to eat until around 2:30. Fortuntately, she wasn�t too upset about the walking. Neither of us really had anywhere to be, so it wasn�t a problem. I finished two papers last night, and was happy about that. I didn�t do an awful lot of work this weekend, but I did reasonably good. My friend, Kahuna, was telling me that he�s just going to stop lying to himself and telling himself that he�s actually going to do homework over the weekends because it never happens. I happened to run into him while leaving El Centro yesterday. He had the same intentions as I this weekend, which were staying home and getting things done. Needless to say, by yesterday, it had hardly happened. I�m still trying to figure out what to do with Spring Break. I actually thought about trying to go home for spring break. The break is about a week and a half, so I was thinking I could go home, visit everyone, get my hair done, eat some American food, etc... I just looked at plane tickets, though, and the best I have been able to do is 599 for leaving from Mexico! That is more than just going to Cuba would be. Actually, I just thought of something. I could use the return ticket that I already have and purchase another one for leaving from the US. See, the student travel agency, where I get discount tickets, doesn�t allow for travel originating in another country. I guess the biggest thing is that I would feel kind of like a cheat if I went home. Then, I really wouldn�t have spent 5 months in Mexico. It would be like I didn�t really "do" it. I don�t know. We�ll see what happens. Well, I am going to head out because at 6:30 I am meeting this girl I met on Friday to go walking. She is 22 years old and a teacher at the school across the street from me. She seemed pretty cool, so I figured it wouldn�t hurt to walk with her and meet another person. I think I want to take a nap before I go, though, so I need to go ahead if I�m going to do that. Maybe I�ll write tomorrow! |
