hola mojito

by Sharon Brooke

hola. ive had dos mojitos which had more alcohol than last night’s three margaritas. so esta bien. umm going in order. this morning i went running with mayra por treinte minutos. holy lungfest. we are up high nighlies. lungs were burning but it was good. entonces desayunos. oh man. breakfast is included. todo los dias theres huevos y frijoles. y oatmeal and cereal and frutas. but the sweet bread changes. yesterday was pancakes, meh, today was this BOMB ASS cinnamon bread little thingies. holy cow. muy delicioso. um class. oh boy. we are en la clase para nueve en la manana a cinco  (o menos) en la tarde. con una hora para almuerzo y una otra hora para clase de espanol. la primera clase hoy era bueno. its family art therapy. michael and i made a car out of sticks and glue guns which we got really excited about. el coche was por nuestra “familia.”  anyway. we should make toy cars. real primitive style. and sell them $$$$$$.

um so spanish class was not as painful on the brain as yesterday, thank god. tal vez i was just more prepared for it. pretty much only becky will understand or care to read this, hola! y la nuestra wolves tambien, hola te quiero! sorry boodle love you are you reading this? hi. anyway so we conjugated hella verbs today. the spanish is coming back to me like celine dion in that one music video from like 1997, holler. our second class which was multicultural something or other was cool, but i realize that i just dont feel safe to share my deepest shiz with everyone. or perhaps im lazy. i dont particularly care at this juncture. my therapist says i am not as vulnerable as i think i am. in this moment im fine with that.

next point. proximo punto. i was just soooo tired and dunzo by the end of class. entonces se fue a piscina. laid out for a while, worked out. HERES A BIG ONE. thats what she said. no really heres a big’un. i was leaving to my room to finish my workout, and i said something about being lazy, and naomi said something to the effect of “um, lazy is the last word id use to describe you” which was met with “mmhmm”s and nods of agreement. and i totally was like QUEEE???? cause i am so used to being regarded as lazy for some reason. so to hear that i am thought of as so not lazy just made my life. very interesANTE. no es “interesamos” pero interesante. for realz though interesting no?

entonces comida con naomi y michael/miguel at some dope place with awesome decor and i want my abode to look like that. tummy feelin a little un-irie but itll be okay. i feel im forgetting something. oh! we went through the secret tunnel under our hotel. scary as fuck. we were holding on to each other and screaming. well michael wasnt. liquid courage you know what im sayin?? hasta manana muchachos! ps i reallyyyyyyy love being here. this is my chance at condensed study abroad that i was too chickenshit to even think about in college. this hardly feels like school. basically this is vacation. and we get our mental health and productivity en la dia, y mi ejercisio, so im all set babies! holleration. TODB. (thats for jason patrick bowman, do you hear me??)
