¡Hola de México!

Hola, amigos!  I´m here in México, having a splendid time.  I´ve had some delicious food, some incredible experiences learning about Mexican culture and history, and have tried some of the most delicious fresh cheese!  Hahaha.  I hope you are all doing well out there in the blogosphere.  This is my first visit to an internet café, so I won´t be able to read your blogs much.  So far I have eaten pretty healthy stuff - we have had fresh fruit, granola, and yogurt for breakfast each day so far.  Delicious.  I´ve tried papaya, guayava, and pitaya.  I only liked pitaya, the others have a weird taste for me.  But yeah, I only have an hour on the computadora, so I better say adios.  :)

Adios!

Hey guys!  I know it's been a long ass time since I blogged.  Here's a recap of my week at home:  driving, eating terribly, not exercising, not riding a bike as it was mostly cold and rainy, but still hanging out with a bunch of people I love.

I'm now getting ready to get my butt to the airport so I can go to MEXICO.  I'm so excited!  I'll be back in three weeks, and there will surely be a ton of pictures.  :)


Hasta luego!

Um...what?

Wow.  Spring semester has flown by.  Between my 300/400-level classes, 20 hrs of work a week, bellydance classes, homework, and trying to eat well, the months have sped past me without me noticing them at all.  I'm currently at the end of the semester, and still wondering what's coming next, what do I have to do today, tomorrow, this weekend.  What work is there to do?  I just can't relax. 

Things have finally wound down enough to where I can do a little blogging again.  Yay!  I've missed this.  My boyfriend and I were just talking last night about how badly we've been eating lately - pizza and ice cream one night, hot dogs, banana pudding my roommate made...it's just bad.  But now that I can focus my energy on things not school, I'm dying to pick up some healthy eating habits again. Just last night I turned down Andrew's offer of Chinese food so we could go to a healthy, organic restaurant downtown called Laughing Planet.  Today I had to work pretty early, and work always screws with me - I had a donut and a ton of cheese - but my lunch sandwich was full of veggies and I ate it with a little pineapple cup.   Also had a bowl of Frosted Flakes this morning.  Not the best, but at least I ate breakfast.  So now I'm just trying to get through my finals, sort out some loose ends for classes, and then I'm going home for a week!  Yay!  I plan on riding a bike every day.  I love bike riding when it's nice out.  I don't do it here much A) Because our city is really hilly and I just don't have the muscles to climb those hills all day long and B) My bike tires are flat.  I have to take it to a gas station sometime to put air in them...but I don't think that's gonna happen soon.  :P

I know I've been really absent trying to finish up school, but I'm about to be super absent again - I'm going to Mexico!  I leave for my trip on the 17th, so for 3 weeks I won't be around.  I'll be sure to take pictures of my Mexican diet though!  Hoping to eat some tasty fruits/veggies I haven't had before.  :D


Well, I need to hop on some studying here.  Just thought I'd say hi!  I hope everybody is having a good week so far!
