So over the Thanksgiving holiday I was in Mexico City for a wedding. The wedding was really pretty inside this HUGE catholic church. The reception was also a lot of fun. I’m glad to be back in the States though where I understand most everything people are saying. I’ll get some pictures posted later this week or next. I have finals for school coming up in two weeks along with a 15 page paper due next week. =/

While I am not back from Mexico yet, I had to get this picture uploaded. By far, the best one yet. I had the option for 20 pesos ($1.50) to get this put on two keychains. I should have sent them to my parents. I totally regret it now.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers! While I’m sure most of you enjoyed some sort of overeating get together with family, I was in Mexico eating street tacos and sitting in awkward silence while Luis and his family rattled off their Spanish.

The trip so far has been fun. Tomorrow is his cousin’s wedding and Saturday we are going to explore the Aztec pyramids. (At least I think they belonged to the Aztecs. I could be completely wrong.)

I haven’t taken too many pics out of fear of being mugged but will post some when I get back. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Let me tell you about my Monday. I woke up feeling refreshed after getting 9 full hours of uninhibited sleep (with the aid of Tylenol PM) with the intentions of having a GREAT Monday. I put some music on as I get ready and head out the door by 9:15. I get 1 block away from the metro and realize that I forgot to drop off my dry cleaning at the front desk. So I go back. I also made a wardrobe error by bringing a jacket when it was 59 degrees outside. 9:30 rolls around and I’m not only late, but also looking like a hot mess.

I also remembered when I got home to grab my new jeans to drop them off to alter the length. (Please refrain from making short jokes. I’ve heard them all.) I get to work and drop the jeans off. The chinawoman tells me they will take a week and after hassling her for a few minutes, she agrees to have them done Wednesday afternoon at the bargain price of $20. I leave to go to Orlando on Thursday and wanted to sport my new jeans so they needed to be done ASAP.

Get to work, nothing exciting. I leave for school and my professor ends up being 25 mins late, which is cool because I didn’t have anything else to do but wait. I come home and cook my steak, which tasted funny, so I’m hoping I don’t regret it later. Luis is playing video games and I need to shower.

That was my Monday.

Tomorrow I must deal with the incompetent hair dressers of DC and get my base lightened. My roots are showing and to avoid the skunk look, I must overpay some under trained “stylist” to perform subpar highlighting. :theresnoplacelikehome:theresnoplacelikehome:

Luis wants a shout out. Here is your shout out.

1. Why does metro feel the need to move the trains 3 feet every 3 seconds? All it does is make passengers irritated and nauceous.

2. If you’re going to show up to class an hour late, don’t even bother coming!

3. When there are 10 million open seats, why do you feel the need to sit next to me?!

4. Fun fact: Annandale, VA is home to apparently all the Koreans in Northern VA. It’s like the Mira Mesa of the DC Beltway.

5. Also, this relates back to complaint numbers 2 and 3, don’t show up to class late, decide to sit next to me, and then type of your blackberry the remainder of class. I’m not the only one who can hear your rudeness.

6. DC smokers: you are not out of the metro station when you hit the escalator. Please refine from lighting your nasty cancer stick until you get out of the station. And if you can’t, well then I hope you die.

7. Federal holidays in the middle of the week are stupid.

8. Happy Execution Day to John Malvo! You deserve to die and I hope Satan has your seat warmed.

9. I love my mac but sometimes their programs try too hard to be “simple”. For example, if I want to insert a picture, it says “choose”. At first glance, why would anyone think choose means insert a picture?

10. I bought Luis a new video game. I only have myself to blame.
