Wrapping up the first half

The first session of my program ended this past wednesday and most of the group left for the states on saturday, leaving me to cause trouble. It was interesting to observe how sad the americans were to leave and I swear that if I would have had a flight on saturday I would have missed it on purpose. I already get sad thinking that I have 5.5 weeks left here and then I have to leave.

It is sometimes hard to update this blog, not because I don't have things to say but because my experiences in Guanajuato are mine and no one can really comprehend what life is like in GTO. I know I've changed a lot as a person already. I've become so much more independent and confident in this culture. However, I haven't changed in my ridiculous. I now have my 'spot' when I go out , a bar called Why Not. I've made some great friends there and am allowed to go behind the bar and pick the music. I've even become an apprentice to Oz the bartender and can successfully serve a cuba libre (more or less a rum and coke with lime). baby steps. I still have 5 more weeks.

This week I am bored out of my mind and trying to stay busy with little excursions like going to la presa and renting a row boat, and going to Leon today with my friend Jamie to get her sister from the airport. The next group of students get here on sunday and I'm anxious to meet new people. I get a bit....territorial over my GTO and don't like the thought of new 'tourists' running around. It will be good to have class to occupy my days next week and to keep me from coming home at 9am every morning.

Hope to update this soon with new adventures and thoughts. (It is really difficult to write in ingles though.) besitos a todos.
