Hola! Que onda? Cero que voy a escribir en español porque ahorita no sé nada en ingles! Como ves? Bueno, Jeff me dijo tengo que escribir en mi diario-para dicerle de verdad..soy muy floja! No tengo nada de ganas para hacer nada! Salimos por vacaciones catorse de noviembre y todavia no hago nada! Todos los Días estoy aqui en la casa, en internet o estoy durmiendo. Todas mis amigas tienen novios(sin rebé) pero todo el tiempo ellas estan con ellos y YO ESTOY SOLA! jaja pues me vale madres! Estoy por internet mucho, creo que como dies veses mas que yo necesito. Hablo con mis amigos de Michigan MUUUCHHHIIISSSIIIMOOO y es muy dificil para mi. En mi otra casa no tenía nada de internet y antes, cuando llegé, estaba pensando "como voy a vivir sin mi internet y sin mi Tele y sin mi radio, no puede ser" pero si tenía 3 y medio meses como asi, y estaba BIEN contenta, Y ahorita ya no sé.  Si soy contenta porque estoy hablando con ellos pero nadie entienda como esta para mi. Hoy llegó la mama de mi mama(mi mama de ahroita). Ella esta bien buena onda....Me encanta ella.  Mi papa todavia no llega. Creo que no lo veo en como 2 días...jaja me vale la pena! aaa Y Jen cortó con chetes anti-ayer. Me mandó un text a las once y medio o algo como asi y me dijo...Michi-Corté con chetes hoy, Estoy muy triste pero es mejor como así.  Jajaja pues chetes no es como parese.  Chetes es un Hombre Bien horrible. Antes si le gustaba pero ahroita, Ya no.  Mañana quiero ir a la feria para ver Natalia Lafortade pero  creo k no puedo, pork thengo ese quience años...ya vamos a ver. Pues Tengo mucho sueño u quieo ir a mi cama-Tal vez puedo ponerme mas caliente! Jajaj entonces...Jeff eso es para ti! Espero que lo gustas! jajaja Les extraño!

Besitos!

Hey All!  Whats new in your parts of the world!?  Not a whole lot here!  Independence day was great, I had a blast!  Even though most of the festivities were hulted due to all the rain we got.  I went out with my friends to EL PANTION then to EL STREET and after to Sofias house.  Latley things have been good, I miss home but I like it here as well.  My freinds are great.  I work out a lot to take my time of things but I dont see it working yet!  School is boring like usual but im getting the grip of the spanish lang really well, I would say by the ned of Nov I will be set.  I hang out with my cousin nearly every day.  Hes a good guy close to my age.  My family went to get my older host sister today from Mexico.  She is coming back form a 3 month trip to Europe.  Well I think im goign to go home now im tired of being at school!  Until next time yall

I just got back from an AMAZING trip to San Miguel.  I had such a blast.  3 friends and I went up there for the weekend and stayed in an appartment alone.  WHAT FUN, let me tell you.  Its the first time I can say I have had a WONDERFUL time since I have been here.  Seeing that im always with my family or not allowed to go out.  We got there friday around 3 and settled in at the apartment.  We went to the center of the city, walked around and visit a few shops here and there.  Big city for Americans I would say there were more Americans there then Mexicans.  Anyway around 7 we went home to get ready for a night out. Pili's uncle had invited us to go to the opening of a bar so we figured it would be nice if we went with him and his wife.  They own a resturant there so we had to wait till about 12 to go and it turned out to be a dud anyway.  Jen Pili Daniella and I went to Mama Mia first sat down and talked, after we called my friend Ricardo and Went to a club that his uncle owned called El Grito.  It was really fun we met some really fun people there.  We went home around 3 and slept till 1 pm!  But over all a great night!  Saturday we only really had a few hours before we had to get ready to go out so we went and got some pizza and walked around the city a little more.  We go ready and started out about 10 to find that we were WAY to late.  The city was FULL of people. I dont think I have seen so many people in such a small town ever.  Anyway everywhere was full and everywhere had covers but we were all to cheap to pay.  So we ended up hanging out with some guys.  Chris was by far the coolest.  He was from Cali but lived in San Miguel for 10 years.  We drove around in this big hippy van for a few hours, good times.  Then went to this crappy little bar that all their friends were at...it was nasty.  We ended up leaving and trying to find another place to go.  I really wanted to go to El Grito that night again but the cover was 200 pesos or like 20 bucks.  Like I was REALLY going to pay that!  Ricardo's  Uncle owned it and I was just going to try to talk them into letting me in.  Because of course the remembered me from the night before....thats a different story tho, Not bad its just Ricardo made me like talk to all of them and I dunno.  Anyway I made Pili come with me to talk to them to see if we could get in.  As we were walking in the door some girl screamed for us to get out of the way and all of a sudden out busts some  guys punching and kicking eachother.  One was on the ground and others were kicking him in the head.  I was freaking out.  No joke they were acting like animals.  I almost cried for real.  We decided to go home after that because things were getting really out of hand. So thats about it about my fun weekend.  Tomrrow is independence day so we will see what happeneds with that....Until then!

Much love-Besos y Abrazos- Te Extraño- Te quiero mucho-Te amo

Kyle-

What can I say? I miss you so much kid!  Your my best guy friend and always will be.  Being away from you has been so hard for me, I guess I didn't know it would be like this. As time goes on and our lives change, our friendship will remain as stong as always. We have been through so much yet in the end the best has come out of it all. Your someone I can always count on, someone who is always here, Somone i can confide in, Someone I can trust. When I left Midland, my heart didn't leave with me a part of it stayed there with you. I hope you know how much you mean to me, I love you always and forever!

Sorry yesterdays sucked! I had to go back to class in the middle of writting it! Today I got some great emails from friends(you guys make my life, really you do!)  I have really been keeping in touch with them, which I think is helping me adjust here a lot better.  I really dont know HOW but I KNOW IT IS!! lol  Sooo yeah Jeff sent me this GREAT quote today and I thought I would post it....

"The notion that you have to live in another culture before you can truly understand your own has gained wide acceptance." 

It was from a Cultural Anthropology book he was reading for a class I guess, but its such a thought provoking quote, and im guessing by the end of this exchange I will realize how true it is! :Thanks Jeffy:

Thanks so much to all of you who are writing me, I really appericate it!  Like you have no clue how much!!! lol Nothing else that exciting is happening right now, I have dance today and this weekend my grandpas birthday and my moms saint day but thats about it.  We have a huge family party on sunday.  Im starting my painting lessons on the first of september as well as my italian...its so cheap to take these things here, like 35 bucks each per semester!!!Well class is out I better go....

-You Always seem to Amaze me......
