Perfecto

This morning I found out that there's a woman who lives in the house sometimes and helps clean the house. "Oh."

How many more people are going to show up, mysteriously living in the attic or walls or refrigerator?

Ah Dios mio! He's talking sobre los beneficios de servicios comunidades! This is not pertinent information! I felt bad falling asleep again, so I'm talking 2 you. I just want specific, here's-what-you-can-do-in-Mérida shit. Shit!

We may go out tonight. Al Centro o Calle Montejo. I want helado really badly. I want 2 saee Mérida for realizies...

It seems there are theater and chorus and music groups "on campus". I'd love 2 get involved, but I'm afraid I won't take the initiative b/c I'm kind of shy in these situations.

I just had a flashback to Physics class senior year. I would take a nap literally every other day. I just didn't care. I didn't hide my disdain for Hanbury, although I feel I may have judged him too soon. I would sleep (very visibly, mind you) even when I wasn't tired. For the entire class too! Hahaha, what a joke.

Con el viento afectuoso a mi espalda y mi pelo volando a mi cara como Pocahontas, siento totalmente contenta.

Tonight was a wonderful night. Some of us decided to go to El Centro of Mérida, in the old historical section. We're going there tomorrow for a tour, but we wanted to get out and see the city for the first time. This week was not fun. It was interesting and not boring (usually), but it wasn't fun. So we went out.

Gustavo and Celeste came to my house because they both live very close. We caught the next bus into El Centro and walked to the main Plaza with the old old Cathedral and Teatro. The night was warm with a slight breeze. The sky was clear and the air was comfortably dry. There are so many things to see at night here in Mérida. Everything was just...perfect.

The three of us hooked up with Chris and Joe. We sat down at a bar/restaurant called "La Parranda" across the way from a parque and some live music. They started ordering drinks. Then Hortencia, Eric, Mallory, Erica, Lindsay, and Amanda T arrived and we ordered more food, drinks, etc.

The musicians were playing classical guitar and singing, the sky was open, the air beckoned me to get up and dance, and I was young and free. I could not suppress my smiles because I was just so happy. What else can you do when your life is perfect? Perfecto.

The rest is simply inconsequential because I'm still living off this high. We're going to la playa in Progreso, and I have a feeling my life is going to mejorar. I don't know if that's possible, but I am "ready and willing fall".
