Well, our second parcials are coming up, so I need to start getting ready for them. I don�t know if I explained it already, but here we have 3 parcials, basically, sections of time. At the end of each partial, you have an exam. All of your grades from that particular partial are averaged together with the exam to give you your grade for the parcial. Then, at the end, they average the three together, along with your final exam grade, to give you your final average. Next week starts exams for the second partial. I am not really looking forward to it, but I�m not dreading them as much, either, since now I kind of know what to expect. Still, I have a lot of reading to catch up on, especially for literature, and a paper to write for literature. It would be so nice to finish everything this weekend. Wishful thinking....
So, last night was pretty cool. I decided to go ahead and skip Lucha Libre, well actually, nobody went. A lot of people were going to a party that the university had. I really didn�t want to go because we had to pay for it, and besides that, I was pretty sure I was just going to go with Ignacio to his thing. So, at 7 I had to come to school to watch this movie for my literature class, and after that was over, I ran home really quick, ate, changed clothes, and got a taxi to meet Ignacio downtown at 10. His cousin came, and come to find out, it was actually a party for Morelos State University at this club, Kaova. Ignacio�s cousin goes to Morelos State, which was funny because I was telling him that my friend, Sanatiel, goes there too and that I had just been there the day before. Anyhow, we went, and it turned out that there were not enough people with the tickets for this particular function, so they weren�t having it. I don�t think anyone was too disappointed; Ignacio doesn�t really like clubs, anyway, and neither do I, especially not if it�s techno music and I think that�s what I heard. So, we ended up just walking around Cuernavaca for the next 3 and a half hours. We went to different places, like, tried to get into Zumbale, the Salsa Club, but couldn�t because Ignacio didn�t have his ID. The funny thing about here is that if you�re American, you automatically get into the clubs almost everytime. It�s a little more difficult for guys, but still, they�re pretty much guaranteed. However, if you�re Mexican, they reserve the right to turn you down, and definitely will if you�re lacking an ID. It�s so wrong. Anyhow, we kept walking. We came to this really tacky looking type club place and I wanted to go in because I had been seeing it and wondering about it. We did, and it was so hilariously tacky. There was red all over and it looked like really cheap decorations for a Valentine�s party in someone�s living room, as if the people had spent major time on tacky decorations. Hard to explain; you�ve gotta see it in person.There was hardly anyone in there, except for a few people in their late 40�s/ 50�s. The music wasn�t bad- there was a live band but no bandstand. They were just standing on the floor. We left because you couldn�t stay if you didn�t order drinks, and we didn�t want to.
We ate tacos at this place and they were pretty good. I think I had more fun just walking around, going places, than I would have if we had gone to this party. Anyhow, I�ll probably stay home tonight, unless somebody wants to go somewhere. Charles is supposed to call me tonight at 6, so I am looking forward to that. Honestly, if I go somewhere, I want it to be before 9 because I am DONE with paying for taxis. I hate how the buses stop running at 7. I had to pay 2.50 just to go home from our class movie last night. It�s getting really expensive, the transportation around here, and I�m not sure how to solve it. I don�t even go out much. I�m going to have to seriously think about what to do becaus these taxis are eating my money alive!
Anyhow, I�ll write again either tomorrow, or Sunday, or Monday! Have a good one!
