Alright, I know that it has been forever since I have written, but I honestly dont think that there are too many people who read this so I am doing it for relaxation now, HEHEHE....
SO this week has been wonderful - I finally convinced my mom to not be mad at me for coming home early and not going to Cancun, I just dont wanna go. So YAYAY I dont have to anymore.
I went to the Childrens Home here and spoke with the officers, they have congress this weekend, and invited me to go with them on sunday, which i am super excited about, i totally cannot wait....I know Sallyism is in my blood...
Well, humm, I have been sick had to stay home from school because i was sick. But no worried I am doing better now..
Met some great people from Texas, they are sooooooooooo much fun. Met a guy who is in the state congress of Morelos, he is awesome.
Went to Taxco, the silver capital of the world last saturday. That was a lotta fun and since I went there thats why i can go to Congress. I am doing really good in my exams and love my school.
Last sunday we went to the Pyrimid of the Sun and Moon, I dont know how to spell the city, but soon there will be a scrapbook online at my photobucket.
Well, now i must go beecause i have homework to finish up.

First Week in Mexico
Alright, so my frist week was alright. I really do miss home and I cannot wait to get back, pero me encanta Mexico. Mi escuela es muy amable. --Translation but i love Mexico, my school is really nice.
My teachers are great. I could not ask for more qualified teachers than the ones I have now. Everyday, I have 2 hours of grammar class, and an hour of converscacion. Those are my 3 hours in the afternoon. In the morning, I Have my class with Dra. Lee, LatinAmerican Civilizaion and Culture. WHOA, that is a really hard one. My next hour is with Lupíta, who teaches grammar that is easy to confuse, her goal is to help us understand when and why to use the grammar the specific way. The next hour changes everyday it is the culture hour: dance class, cooking class, converscacion, painting, singing or what ever culture class the director thinks we need that day. it is soo much fun..
Saturday, I went to this place called Tepolzan, it was great. We were suppose to hike up a mountain to a pyarmid, but i did not make it cause of my fear of heights, so i went as far as i could then went back down into the town and did some serious SHOPPING, YAYAY!!!
Sunday we went to Mexico City - we visited the Palacio Nacioinal, el Cathedral where the arch-bishop was conducting mass, so we got to see him and it was televised how cool was that.....then we went shopping in the mercado that was open, again YAYAY for shopping......then we went to the museum of anthropology and that was totally interesting, but i wish we would have had more time there.... next we went to this place which is like the Venice of MExico, i think it is spelled like this Xochomilo we went for a boat ride and half the students got tore up it was really funny--- during this time i got to talk with Dra. Lee about class, her family, and other fun stuff...needless to say we were a few of the sober ones. We got home around 9:30 ate dinner. BIanca and I decided to stay up talking it was good for me
While I have been here I have had to deal with the anniversary of Innies death and some other things and it has been hard, but i am making it thru alright.....
hope everyone is well

Finished
I'm done with school until Monday, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so I leave for Mexico on Sunday and we start classes on Monday, but hey at least I have a few days of rest, right?
Anyway read this it's good
Subject: ACHOOO
They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-three
students filing into the already crowded auditorium.
With rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional
caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt.
Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and moms
freely brushed away tears.
This class would not pray during the commencements
----- not by choice but because of a recent court
ruling prohibiting it.
The principal and several students were careful to
stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They
gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no
one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for
blessings on the graduates or their families.
The speeches were nice, but they were
routine.......until the final speech received a
standing ovation.
A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone.
He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then,
it happened. All 92 students, every single one of
them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!!
The student on stage simply looked at the audience and
said, "GOD BLESS YOU, each and every one of you!" And
he walked off stage . .
The audience exploded into applause. The graduating
class found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on
their future with or without the court's approval.
Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your
friends.........and GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
In God We Trust, United We Stand, Divided We Fall!!!

Then I went to Rome for Gabriela's graduation.....it was great fun -- I'm so proud that you're finally out Gabriela.....then we had the reception at the Rome corps. YAYAY!!!! for all of my second family being there -- it was great to see Salomon, Cristal, Nohemi, Abuelita Angela y Abuela, tio Fidel, tio Mario, and everyone else. You never realize how much you miss people until you great to spend such a great deal of time with them. Well, I'm really happy that everyone is doing well and that they all miss Ga as well. I finally got home and Jayden and Kendrick were at the house waiting on me, it was time for them to spend the night -- whoa fun stuff
