MOTHERLdsaldjsa there's a problem with my camera = no photos... so you'll have to settle with this!

I got some ""complaints"" about how I'm not specific enough when I write, so here goes a super organized post about a regular day in Mexico. (You better enjoy this:D ajaja)

At 5.50 I wake up, take a shower (not optional), dress up (not much choice there... my school uniform:D), at 6:30 the bus comes (it's Mexico... you never really know) and I meet a few classmates. But since it's 6:30 in the morning (do you have any idea how early that is?????) mostly we just nap in the bus or listen to music like in a regular morning coma.

In school we have fun. We have to study a lot, bun in the pauses (and, honestly, in the classes too) we always have a laugh. My class is really cool, I'm really happy I was so lucky I ended up there, I actually don't know many people from outside my class yet, but I got my friends :) we go to eat breakfast at 9:30 (oh god why WHY can't I cook mexican??) and finish school at 1:10, take another bus, I take a spin at the centre to say bye to my friends and go home.

I go home, eat, my parents go to sleep at around three. My brother comes at home at around four, so if I don't go out, I hang out with him. (Except now his wife if really jealous of the time we spend together, so now I can't, so I go out everyday somewhere.) When I do go out with my friends, we meet at the centre, go watch a movie, in the weekdays we meet up somewhere and do homework (ie my house is a good place since it's near the centre and there's so much room in the area of the restaurant.. plus my mom likes it more when I'm at home than outside running with people she doesn't know etc etc). If I go out alone, I go hit the gym (spinning!!!!! my new love) or an Internet point (like right now). In the evenings I hang out at my mother's restaurant, some pretty cool people work there and there's always someone to talk to. So... it's nice. :)

There are things I'm still getting used to, and days when I still feel supertired and dead, but I'm pushing every negative feeling away... sometimes I get scared when I can't (I'm an optimist deep deep in my heart) but so far I haven't faced anything that would've hurt me. I admit that the issues I have with my brother's wife are a bit bigger than an exchange student should face, but soon she'll be gone, so whatever, I'll survive. Don't you worry about me, I speak Spanish like a native (lol no that's a joke... but still pretty good!) and am learning the native language of Juchitàn called Zapoteco and I've met some pretty amazing people. Getting used to not being able to go out or stay out for as long isn't as hard as I thought. I've made a few mistakes, but everything is ok. My family is really amazing and life is becoming... life. (I admit that suddenly facing everything without anybody or anything you knew before isn't easy, but I'm hanging on to the good things.) So.. I promise when I fix the problem that I'll have more pictures here!!!! There are so many moments I love, I can't let them go..

cheers and kisses you guys, hope you're doing good!
