17 de Ferero de 2009
well once again i've been a bum, but since we all know that already I guess it don't really matter anymore, so let's get on with this thing.
so for reasons out of my control (not really i just like thinking that i haven't been procrastinating as much) i am very sleep deprived right now in the past couple of days i've only been getting an avg 2-maybe 3 hours of sleep a night! But tonight i will try and go to sleep early (let's just hope early doesn't turn into early morning).
as always let me sum up my weekend.
Thursday
didn't do anything, or at least don't remember i did. hmm... oh wait never mind i did go to a UADY party (shit or was it Friday?) never mind i didn't do anythign on thursday cause i needed to catch up on sleep.
Friday
After checking my txt msgs I figured out that i went to the UADY party on Friday!
OK so the peeps left their houses at 6pm which for me is early as fuck to get to a party, unless it's like a... i don;t know but u get me. So me and Hortencia decided to leave a little bit later: 7ish.
No one really knoew how the hell to get to where the party was gonna be at so Hortencia and I fugured we would just call at 7 and hopefully ppl would already be there and then they would telll us how they got there. Well we called at like 7:45 time at which no one was there yet so we only recieved half assed directions. we looked for the famous bus 82 to Garcia Generez and it took us like half an hour to find it and finally get on our way. It seems liek it also took us another half an hour to get to the damn bus stop!!!! anyways after frantically trying to figure out where the damn gasolinerias Gemelas where at we got off and satrted walking on an endless path to nowhere, we ended up in some sketchy little unpaved road in God-knows-where Merida! So we called Nandini, but she didn;t know how to get to the place so I talked to Hector (guy who works at the UADy, who is our age, and that was with Nandini). During orientation i was told that Meridianos didn't knwo shit how to give directions and my good old chum Hector was the clear example of it!!! anyways he went out of the party to go look for us and finally found us, oh yeah i almost forgot: i had also callled Eric to ask for directions btu he also didn't know where the hell he was. But yeah so the first thing HEctor tells me is that all the beer was gone! I'm like wait wtf? how he hell does the beer end at damn 9pm? so me, hortencia, and eric decide to go get some drinks for the party at a near-by store. hmm... The store owner was talking shit about obama, and how he;s gonna paint the white house black and a bunch of ridonculous shit! but yeah that's that. We got to the party and HEctor warned me that evryone would want to try and take my beer, to which i'm like hell nah mothar fucker i'm guarding this shit with my life ( i mean i don;t like beer that much but i had spent money on that shit!) so yeah ppl didi ask me for beer but i said nah, i only gave some to my frineds.
I dance a lot! they were playing rancheras, cumbias, reggeaton, merengue,and everything else you can think of that reminds you of me! Me and Ashley hit the dance floor, and the other peeps too, but m and ashley were just on a roll, some ppl threw ice at me i think cause they were hating on my dance moves or something, i almost got into a fight with my unkown assailant (i din;t see who it was so it was aight). but yeah dance all night till 10:50 when we were told that there was gonna be an after party at the facultad de arquitectura. Oh wait before that some weird guy was trying to dance on me! o at least back up on me. He just went up to me and ashley (i guess cause we were the only ones on the dance floor at that time) and he asked if he could dance with us, to shich i replied sure man go ahead. then he proceeded to try and get me into a sandwich with me as the filling and hima dn ashley as the cookies!!!! shit! i said umm... nah man i'm good to what he then said alright then well let me get in the center then and he started backing up on me! I asked ashley for help and put her in fornt of me! I mean i'm flattered but i just don't roll like that yo, and plus if ur gonna do that u shoud try and be a little bit less sketchy.
so yeah we headed ofer to the after party in downtown Merida (which by the way was deserted) and when we got there we found out that the fucken architecture students weren;t letting in ppl from other facultades! shti talk about campus unity!
so i proposed we go to a near by bar and just chikk there, to what amazingly everyone agreed to! i was hungry so i headed in to the bar and ordered some hot wings! but then someone decided we should go tot a "cooler" bar and chill there, i was like nah you that shit is too far away and i'm about to get me some grub. well there wr lilke three girls begging me to go (cause apparently I had become the pac leader!) so they convinced me (i mean i can;t say no to some lovely ladies = ) ) so we walked for liek 10-15 minutes and we finally got to the other pub. I immediatly ordered a huge ass plate of NACHOS!!!!! well actually me and Ashley ordered them. So we went at it, dayum yo know that i think about it that was a shit load of nachos that went onto my system!! but ashley had her fair share too so it was less of a load on me. we left at around 1:30am. Oh yeah and Hetor was so fucken drunk that he was getting freaking anying ass hell! he was throwing napkins at me, shouting at the cops, starign at hortencia, adn well a bunch of shit that almos tmade me clip the mofoe!
So i got home at 2 am and fell asleep. I had to wake up at 5am to go to Hoy en tu comunidad (community service thing)
Saturday
so it started off very early at 5am, i had only gotten 3 hours of sleep!!! i woke up took a shower,a dn walked to the bus stop at 6am 9 (i have to admit that i was a bit paranoid walking down the damn dark streets so early in the morning, and plus i wasn't wuite sure how the hell i was gonna get there yet! but anyways i got on a bus which then dropped me off like two blocks form where i was suppossed to go. i almost got lost in my two block trayectory! but i got to the place (facultad de medicina) at like 15 till 7, we are suppossed to get there at 7 sharp but it seems no one really gave a shit about punctuality = /
so from my prgram there wr only liek 4 ppl signed up to go on the trip, but there was 8 of us that showed up (with 6 being the max that can go at a single time!) the program director didn;t care and we all got in.
Once there we ate some empanadas, then we were sent odd with thte nthropolgy kids that wr gonna be doing anthropologic research around the town (chemayul or chemayel, i forget what its called). we went ot interview ppl at the church, they told us about there Cristo Negro (yup a Balck Jesus!) and of their fiestas patronales (their like big town celebration-that's connected to a patron saint). then we went around hoses asking them about their hammock making pratices. I got to feel like i was back in the little rural pueblo of La Bolsa, Guerrero where I lived from age 10-16!!! I got to talk to the ppl at the houses about their cattle, the differnt fruit trees they had, and of other practices.
After the long ass walk around town under a scorching 95 degree sun we went to visit some cool Cenotes that wr 9km away but bcause of the shitty conditions of the road took us two hours to get to and back from them!!! but they wr amazing! i wanted to jump in but since my ass don;t know how to swim i would have been screwed! but yeah we got back really late when everyone was presenting on their findings and what they did all day. we ate smoe nasty ass relleno negro, which i have no idea what it was but all i know was that it had some chicken in it. I threw it away cause aparte de que estaba frio (cold) sabia ano muy bueno, por no decir otra cosa. so we head back home ona nother 1.5 houe ride back to merida. on the bus they were playing Beverly Hills Chihuahua, which was a crappy move but which was aight for wasting the time i was on the bus.
I go back home at liek 7pm, so i took a shoer to get ready to head out to Amarantus (another rich ppl club) for Erica's b-day celebration. Me, ashley, and mallory go to the place at like 12 am cuas since it was valentine's day all the damn taxis in Merida wr busy! but yeah i also dance a lot at the club, didn;t drink cause the vodka they gave us (i'm guessing cause of the open bar) tasted liek rubbing alcohol and water! so i just danced and danced!
we got out of the club at 4am! now as of that ime had been 23 hours straight without sleep! abd yet agian being V day there weren;t any damn taxis available, and plus there wr also a shit load of ppl standin outside of the club to get a taxi!
so we got a ride from a guy that goes to the UADY with us adn i got homeat around 5 adn then checked facebook and passd the fuck out! (sorry for all my cussing today but i do fell like it;s appropiate to emphasize the craziness tthat was my weekend.
Sunday
woke up at 2pm. was a dum and then started working on a presentation for the next day for my anthro of caves class. I found out that the presentation isn't actually until tomorrow, but oh well i guess that's done with so i'm good. I stayed up till 4am thought working on the damn thing!
oh well
Monday
Stayed up till 2:30 finishing a presentation ( i know it seems liek this shita ain;t ever gonna end huh?) then I saw that Alona had pasted a link to her blog: FMyLife.com, now this shit made me saty up till 4am!!! again!!! i read liek 25 pages of efd up moments int ehlife of other ppl. So if u think u have it bad just check out the stories of these folks and it'll really put things into perspective, ur life ain;t that fucked up! well at least mine isn't (or so I would liek to believe).
random:
i have class everyday monday trhough friday form 3-6om all this week, it;s for my Indigenous author Seminar class, the course is split up into 3 modules and this is the 2nd one with the 2nd professor, who's from Arizona State and will only ne here this week, so that explains the schedule.
I shoud get ot sleeping asap.
you fools better comment on this thing cause it took me a long time to write it! and my hands are hurting!!! i mean you already took the time to read all of it so just go ahead and commetn yo!
Oh yeah and I ralized i really, really liek smart women!! this student went onto our clas to sub for our prof, and she presented her thesis on teh readings we had done: La guagua aerea (and which i also presented on) . Now this girl aint the epitomy of fine, but the way she talked and teh way she presented just had me anonadado (basically stupified). but yeah i was amazed at her intelligence, and well she did have other nice things too if u know what i mean ; )
aight well till next time, latez from Merida,

10 de Febrero de 2009, my Bro's B-Day!!!!
Hey Carlos: Feliz cumpleanios wey!!! que te la pases bien, y ahorita te veo por msn video!!! damn ya estas bien viejo, ya tienes 20 aniotes!! pinche hermanito ya no mas ahora hermanote!!!!
aight so i'm back.
Let's see here, let's go back to wednesday.
It was Joe's B-day so a bunch of us went out to dinner at this italian place called italianis (original huh). i had this zucchini and parmesan soup, an alfredo somethign pasta, and a soda all for just 99 pesos (that's not even 10 bucks!). After the dinner we went to this bar accross the street from the restaurant called Time. I had a little bit of Tequila Herradura reposado (i'm trying to try as many tequilas as ican while i'm over here so that by the time i get back to the states i know what's up!). we headed out at like 10:45 cause the buses stopped running at 11, but to our surprise the mofoes weren;t running since 10! damn and i though LA buses sucked!
Thhursday
i decided to stay in for the night since i had been spending too much money, my throat was bothering me again, ad my stomach was hurting (it's actually still bothering me! = I ) It was good though cause i got to rest and i got better = )
Friday
Now Friday was a bit of an akward day. Leticia invited me to this one house party that she had got invited to by this girla named Landi, who is in one of her classes. So the plan was to meet at el centro and then head on over to the party right. well we got there, leticia couldn;t find the ppl so we walked around for a bit in search of them. we finally found them. we walked a shit load just to get to a super market and buy some drinks. I decide to buy some "100 Anos"tequila, its pretty good, has a very smooth taste = ). we finally got on the bus and headed over to the party, it was actually pretty close to my house! but anyways i had a blast at the party. it was a bunch of ppl from the UADY adn they were all really chill! i talked to a lot of them, i made new friends, and talked a lot of our goals in life! there was this one girl with beautiful eyes! there was this other girl that was pretty fine, but i didn;t hit on any of them cause all i wanted to do was just chill and have a good time = ) maybe in the near future, maybe not, we'll see.Oh yeah we drank like four differt drinks! mexcal, tequila, beer, some type of mixed drink. I almost had my first hang-over ever but i didn't! i woke up sort of nauseus, but i think it was my precious stomach problems coming back, but then i was good.
Saturday
Me, hortencia and leticia met up at el centro again. since i was late on friday i think they planned to make me wait for them this time! i fucken waited for 40 minutes!! anyways we went over to LA 68 and watched a documentary, it was about thes oaxaquenos crossing the border to go play music in their hometowns. it was kinda wack, there was a white guy sort of narrating and producing the documetnary so it seemed llike (to quote leticia) he was romanticizing the idea of crossing the border, adn talking about undocumetnted workers as noble savages (this last part was mine). bitch plz u ain;t telling me what i already KNOW!!!!! But yeah after the doc we went to "Mayan Pub" we had a couple of drinks (i had the "mayan pub" drink) and we chilled to live reggea music! Then we went in search of another bar, we got to this bar and it was wack!!! so we walked for like 8 blocks in deserted downtown merida till we found another bar which was even wacker then the one b4!!!!!! anyways leticia payed for a taxi and we went back to Mayan Pub = ) then we went home and had a good nights sleep.
Sunday I was up till 4am monday morning working on a antropologia de las cavernas presentation. so i went to sleep woke up at 8am, finished up the presentation and then found out at 10am (an hour b4 i had to take the bus to school) that i had done the wrong reading for my presentation!!!! shit!!!!! well i ended up going into my profs office adn telling him what had happend, he asked me if i wanted to present the presentation, valga la redundancia, anyways (this meant presenting after my frined rachel had presented on the same damn topic!) I said no, cause it would seem of bad taste to do that, i took full responsibility for what i had done adn if it meant me loosing 10 pints from my grade then i took that responsibility for my stupidity. it turned out that someone else ( agirl taht never went to class) had prepared the presenation i was supossed to do and it all turne out ok. i had already sent my professor my powerpoint presentation so later on in the afternoon he e-mailed me saying that he had seen my presentation and that it was so good taht he would count it towards my grade even though i didnt;t officially present it!!!!!!!!!!1 Wow God works in mysterious ways = )
now i'm getting sleepy after efen up my sleeping patter on sunday adn then again yesterday, so i think imma hit the sak and catch some zzzzzzz.....
aigh then well u guys take care, if u took the time to read the whole damn thing why the hell not comment? i mean ur already here right, adn plus i know u came cause of the nifty little traking device i have to the right of the screen = )
take care ya'll and mmeber to do ur HWk, i learned that it pays off!!!!
almost forgot my trademark smiley!! c]:}D
aight so i'm back.

Sunday I was up till 4am monday morning working on a antropologia de las cavernas presentation. so i went to sleep woke up at 8am, finished up the presentation and then found out at 10am (an hour b4 i had to take the bus to school) that i had done the wrong reading for my presentation!!!! shit!!!!! well i ended up going into my profs office adn telling him what had happend, he asked me if i wanted to present the presentation, valga la redundancia, anyways (this meant presenting after my frined rachel had presented on the same damn topic!) I said no, cause it would seem of bad taste to do that, i took full responsibility for what i had done adn if it meant me loosing 10 pints from my grade then i took that responsibility for my stupidity. it turned out that someone else ( agirl taht never went to class) had prepared the presenation i was supossed to do and it all turne out ok. i had already sent my professor my powerpoint presentation so later on in the afternoon he e-mailed me saying that he had seen my presentation and that it was so good taht he would count it towards my grade even though i didnt;t officially present it!!!!!!!!!!1 Wow God works in mysterious ways = )
now i'm getting sleepy after efen up my sleeping patter on sunday adn then again yesterday, so i think imma hit the sak and catch some zzzzzzz.....
aigh then well u guys take care, if u took the time to read the whole damn thing why the hell not comment? i mean ur already here right, adn plus i know u came cause of the nifty little traking device i have to the right of the screen = )

3 de Febrero de 2009
Once again i've been a lazy bum and haven't posted much!
Let's see... Well i haven't done hwk for like an entire week so that's gonna come back and bite me on the ass!!!
I'm getting kinda tired of the club seen over here, there are just full of rich snobby ass sketchy rich guys who think they are the shit! ah man i really wanted to sock this one mother fucker who after i said that in the US they give u drug tests when u go apply for some jobs to what this mofoe replied that "oh well i don;t have to worry about that, i've never worked, all i've done is at my daddy's business" oh my god please give me the strenght to not knock one of these mother fuckers out. Oh yeah another thing i've noticed is that all these guys always tellm e that they're part of the seleccion nacional de mexico for some random ass sport. this scrawny little 16 year old (who was in the club illegally) told me he was part of the mexican hockey team! i'm all like bitch please, i mean i didn;t say that but i thought it. then this other guy tells me he got ascholarship to go to LSU and play soccer (this guy i might believe a lil bit more but i'm still doubtful) he said he stayed here cause he just likes it so much here. oh yeah and they've all been to canada! anyways i should probably stop talking about these doubtfull-of-shit jokers,
i miss grinnell parties.
well I did have fun at Cantabar, which is a Kareoke/club, and it was our friend Ingrid's B-Day, well not really cause her b-day is actually today. But i had fun there just chillin and having a couple of drinks.
I actually made a new discovery thanks to Hortencia (another girl from my program). We went to the showing of a documentary at this place called LA 68 (it's a cultural center that i'm pretty sure is run by this one family). It was pretty tight they were showing the doc outside, they have an old spanish house wiht a patio inside and that's where they showed it. there wr a lot of old white ppl there, i mean there was like 2 or 3 kids our age, but it was pretty nice, they offer a drink service and food service. They have some pretty good looking pizzas up in there. I tried this helado de lima (lime ice-cream) with hierbabuena (don;t know what you call this in eng), it was an interestign taste, i didn;t it like it much so i let hortencia eat most of it. I'll probably be hitting that place up more often.
I almost forgot to mention that on our way to LA 68 we saw this punk rock place, they were blasting the punk music and there was this punk store right next door which had some kinky ass leather corset thingy and other leather or whatever stuff. it's crazy what things one will find in such a small city!
right now i'm sitting here trying to make myself start y dang hwk but blogging seemed to distract me.
man i didn;t think i would say this but i actually miss Grinnell academics! fuck yo over here we have to make copies of everything! (talk about copyright infringement!) but i mean it odesn;t sound bad right? well here's the deal we have to make copies of fucken txts that are in different liraries around merida, then if we cant find the damn book we have to chase ppl around to either ask them for thir copies or take the damn book away from them. then i have a prof that always tells us that he'll leave the txts at the copy room but he never fucken does!!!!! shit i don;t have the readings for tomorrow for that class! i went to his office today but he wasn;t there, my friend rachel, who;s also in my class also went to his office on thrusday and friday and he wasn't there!! shit man i wish they had blackboard over here!!!!!
oh yeah i slept through my 8-10am class on thursday, that's the first one this semester, hopefully i won;t do that again.
I've been talking alot about race and otherness in my Caribbean lit class which is pretty interesting, i get to practice talking about race in spanish! now i can probably argue with my racist family members = ), yo don;t get me wrong i mean my family is racist but there mexicans so u gotta understand them a little bit, oh yeah i've also been talking about how we mexicans are pretty racist, that;s in my indigenous author seminar class. damn yo the gov over here (Mexico) has really worked hard to fuck over any type of otherness in a population that to quote vasconcelos is the "raza cosmica" and can;t be different. even through language the gov has been fucking up the "other" but i'll talk more about that when i feel like being all deep and whatnot.
aight well for some strange reason my laptop is going to restart itself cause of some damn updates or something so i'll hopefully see u guys soon.
thanks for stalking me and u should leave a comment yo! c];}D
oh yeah and listen to this song it's the shit! we got alex syntek, sin bandera guy, david bisbal, and luis fonsi!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAVK_lofFeA
