blah.

i'm going to babble. prepare yourself.

today is my last day of classes. i can't believe its already december. i mean, i got here in august. i survived mexico for 4 months. i survived SCHOOL in SPANISH for 4 months. whoa.

it doesn't feel christmassy here. yeah in the town square there's this "christmas market" thing set up, but all they're selling is crappy ornaments and cheap lights and things. and the mall has some decorations up, but it just doesn't feel like we're heading straight into christmas. maybe thats cuz they don't celebrate thanksgiving here. and also because there's no chance of snow. ever.

yesterday i looked out the window at like 7am when i woke up and i saw this HUGE cloud thing coming out of the volcano see photo below so i think to myself, wow that doesn't look normal(yeah from my new room i can see PoPo!) and then i decided to go back to sleep for like a half hour, and then i dreamed about the apocalypse coming in the form of volcanic explosions. ah, lovely dream.
I can't wait to go back home. I miss living in Boston so much. well actually i think living in any american large city would suffice for me. but sweet little rural mexico is sloooowly killing me.

i think i have an interview for co-op on tuesday the 6th (ANNA KAMINSKI'S 22nd BIRTHDAY) for a marketing/publicity company called Colours in Mexico City. still waiting to hear back from the guy if tuesday is good or not. but if i get that job I can live in a city again!!! granted, its one of the most dangerous cities in the world, but i'm not going to live in those parts now am i?? i would live in this hip little bohemian section of the city called La Condesa. yay.

heat and a dishwasher are two things that would make living in the mexican dorms a lot nicer. maybe even an oven so i can bake things if they're feeling really generous. i just get so cold at night, and i hate washing dishes by hand. seems so primitive...

i'm still not totally used to having short hair. but i can almost fit all of it up into a ponytail now, so that's good. 12 inches to go til its back to where it started before "the chop"....

8 more days in the land down under, so to speak...

don't forget, if you'll be in boston anywhere between december 10th and january 7th, please hang out with me!!!!!!!!!!! we can go eat yummy american food and speak in English! wooo hooo.
