what up
I leave my family in 5 days to go visit my best friend. SO EXCITED!! It will be a week of fun I tell you what. And, Aaron is going to Seattle to visit his mom so we are going to get coffee or something. I really like getting my separate worlds to come together. It is really cool. I am getting a little nervous about leaving though. I don't want to loose any of my spanish and my sisters birthday is the day after we leave. She is going to be 17. Bummer.
My week and a half with my family has been wonderful. Each day is better and better. Although in the am... I cannot understand anything and they just talk to me and I have them repeat like 3 times. It is amusing to some extent. We have been focusing on migration a lot and wow, look in the media it is hot. I want to read everything about it but time seems to escape from me here.
This weekend was a great weekend. We didn't have class on friday.. nice! So some of us went out on Thursday to this club. Okay so let me start off with that we showed up BEFORE the club was even OPEN. okay nerds r' us. We were under the impression, from tinas brother, that it was the hottest place to go and there was going to be this huge long line. WRONG. We were the only ones in the club for an hour and a half. Go ahead... laugh... I am. haha.. it ended up being a fun time and Friday I slept most of the day. Saturday, Haley, Aaron and I went with our moms to go give food to the migrants that have been caught and tossed back across. That was a powerful experience. We saw the border from the top of a hill, it was the steal wall (2 inches thick) and then there were these huge long gaps every so often. Talk about a mixed signal. And really, our economy would go down the tubes if we didn't have migrants working. But that's another issue. After that we went across for a couple hours just looking and walking around and noticing how most of the plates are from Sonora and Nogales, Arizona wouldn't exisit if it wasn't for the Mexicans. Sunday was a nice day. My family and Haley went to the flee market, my brothers house, the park, and to get some groceries for lunch, then headed home for lunch. YUM! It was a good time. I was really tired after but it was a good day. Monday morning, my mom made me medudo (it's like liver or some kind of intestine) ;yea, not much of a fan. The texture weirds me out but it didn't really taste that bad. And also, I think I might have just werided myself out. But whatevs. Now I can say I tasted it.
Well I have to get going... spanish is calling my name... Until next time...
