I AM SO MAD. TODAY I WAS WALKING WITH NORA, MATT, AND GALNADGEE and Galnadgee stepped on dog shit today and wiped it on my jeans. It wasn’t much but I still got so mad that I just ignored him. I think that he’s pretty upset and sad. But he deserved it. And I’m just being mean. Although I think that it’s partly my fault. I jinxed it. In that lady’s house where we had Clase de Cocina, I said, “happy birthday galnadgee in case I get mad at you.” I was kidding but I think I jinxed it. If I didn’t say that it probably wouldn’t have happened.

ANYWAYS. Yesterday, Me, David, Daniel, Thomas, and 2 other Mexican Students went to the movies and watched POSEIDON. The place was SO NICE and the tickets were like 22 Pesos, US$2.20 because Wednesday was 2 for 1 day. IT WAS SO CHEAP. It was a pretty good movie too. I took some Myspace pictures. Then I went home. That’s it. This morning, I ate scrambled eggs con chorizo. It was SO SALTY. Then Thomas and I were late for CCL because of some confusion we had. LOST IN TRANSLATION. Not really.

I’m so sad. But I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO BERKELEY AND DO WHATEVER I WANT TO DO… this afternoon, when we went to the cooking class, Assata talked about the stuff she misses about Berkeley. To list a few: BAJA FRESH (2 huge burritos for $5.95), KING DONG restaurant (call-in from 3rd period and get lunch early, don’t have to wait in line. And also the vegetarian food.), COLDSTONE, and so on.

I forgave Galnadgee. It wasn’t a big deal. And we just got back from shooting videos en el centro and other places, and at the bus stop a MOSQUITO (I think it was a mosquito) flew into my eye. It was PAINFUL. It hurt so much. Anyways, I think I’m going to go home now. Although I don’t feel like it. I miss my iPod. I’m not going to have entertainment for 3 whole weeks. THE FIRST WEEK IS ALMOST OVER… and we still have 2 weeks to go. THIS WEEK HAS BEEN GOING BY SOOOO SLOWLY. Why???

Honestly, I miss school. Just because of water. And the freedom of being able to do anything I want and going to places I usually go to. I’m just not used to the pollution and dangerous water and drinking juice or soda everyday. I AM SICK of juice and soda. That’s why I’m always happy to come to the teachers’ house because I could drink water there and see my friends.

I really have to go home. I don’t want to. I’m going to be sooo bored. I’ll write 6 more pages in my journal.

LOVE,
