and so it goes
como siempre tengo mucho tarea y estoy aqui. i apologise in advance for what i know will be some quite shocking spanish. those of you who know the mistakes that i am making can sit back and shake your heads like gabriel my teacher and say merrrrredit merrrrredit, puedes pensar muy fuerte porfa. for those of you who dont understand at all, well welcome to my world.
ah ha ha, veces buenos. on the weekend pasado we went to a big themepark east of here by the coast. i think it was by the coast. i am not entirely sure. anyway, i went with some of the teachers and students from the school and spent the day surreally riding roller coasters and watching magic shows and speaking incerdibly broken spanish with a guy from switzerland who only speaks french, well spanish too. i kind of wish i was in the same boat as him though, as he is forced to have every conversation in spanish while i am allowed to slack off and speak english most of the time.
i have decided to change teachers next week...gabriel is actually totally loco and i get so tired of it at the end of five hours. it is a bit much to live with him as well as talk to him for the majority of every day.
i also went to a big soccer game last weekend...xelaju, the very popular local team lost 2 to 1 though, so it was not such happy times in the crowd. believe it or not, we were sitting in the stands right above where the players etc. go off the field down into the changerooms and whenever they did so, mob police with those big shield things had to line up in order to protect the players of the other team, the refs, and the players of the local team after they lost from things that were being thrown at them from the people sitting around us. no joke, people were throwing full pop cans and firecrackers and metal buckets and full cups of seviche - i do not know how to spell it. it was unbelievable. furthermore, just below us there was a group of guys who had all brought their musical instruments with them so they could break out into song at any point. they must have been drunk when they first got there at eight in the morning, but they def. kept hard at her and at about ten on guy projectile vomited over about 5 people in a really impressive kind of sprinkler show. needless to say, there was no lack of stuff to watch when the soccer wasnt doing the trick.
this weekend i think i hiking a volcano nearby that has a lake in the crater and next weekend i think a group of us are hiking the steepest one around on the night of the full moon in order to be at the top - i think it is about five hours up - for sunrise. it is apparently a very cool experience.
unfortunately i am not hearing very many good things about quetzaltrekkers, the company i was thinking of volunteering for. its too complicated to write down right now, but as a result i am kind of dissapointed because i now have to really try and find ways and people who want to go hiking. weirdly, it is actually quite hard to do...nobody i have met yet is really all that keen and its a bit sketchy to go without a guide. make that quite sketchy. estonces, life goes on.
adios por a hora,
