This is now officially the longest time I have been out of the U.S. at one time. And only three more months to go!

We sure had a fun time Wednesday night. Every Wednesday is Ladies' Night all over the city, so there are cool specials and stuff. Molly and another girl and I ended up going to this club where we got free admission (guys had to pay $22) as well as 10 free drinks! TEN each!!! Don’t worry, we didn’t use them all. We talked, we danced, and three guys ended up giving me their phone numbers! This was a new record for me, considering that I have never even gotten one guy's phone number before. We figured the guys were so interested in us because we were the only white people in the club. It was kind of problematic to communicate with them, since it's difficult to yell over the music in English, let alone try to decipher what someone was shouting at us in another language. We stayed out til about 4am (there is no "can't-sell-you-any-alcohol-and-everything-must-shut-down-at-2am" rule in Mexico) and then had to get up for class at 6:30. Everyone at school was super tired and of course the teachers know that everyone goes out on Wednesdays, so they were making fun of us.

I met my Programa Amistad partner yesterday. That is a program in which we are paired up with a student from the University of Guadalajara and go out on our own to practice each other's language. My partner's name is Genaro and he's actually only going to be here for two more weeks. Then guess where he's going? Little old Ellensburg, to study at Central for a quarter! That was such a coincidence and he couldn't believe that I only live an hour away from there. It's too bad that he'll be coming back here the same time I'm going back home!

I have to do my laundry today. We can use our mamá's washer, and then we hang out clothes out on the roof to dry. I love that our house has roof access. Sometimes I go up there to do my homework or just to take in the view of the city. It's only a four-story building, but it's still a nice view. I hope to get some pictures up here soon so you can see where I live and the people I live with.
