La vida de una estudiante cansada

Last night, I had practically written a novel for my blog entry and right as I went to click "Post," I lost internet connection.  For the majority, I don't remember what I had even written, to be honest.  I know I had to drink 3 cups of coffee just to make it through class, and I still managed to take a 2 hour siesta after school.  Yesterday we watched Mar Adentro in class, and it was actually quite interesting and left me thinking.  It was based off of a true story of Ramon Sampedro who was paralized and wanted euthanasia.  Entonces, I had to write an essay about my opinion of the movie and of euthanasia.  Then I also had to prepare for my 10-15 minute presentation, and also study for my examen.  Long night.




ay caramba.


I ended up presenting about my mission trip to Mexico.  For the first time I actually wasn't completely prepared and decided to "wing it."  I have talked about Mexico so many times (and even written a children's book!) that I thought I could handle it without hours of preparation.  All I had was a basic outline of what I wanted to talk about.  This is the first time that I have felt comfortable enough with the Spanish language that I didn't feel the need to make notecards or anything. :)

Today I didn't have class with Jesus, bc he had to teach his afternoon class in the morning.  Instead we went with Mayela, who I had for my 2nd and 3rd weeks here.  It was odd being back in her classroom without my former classmates.  Oh and the two other girls who are in my class today conveniently decided to not show up on the day we have a presentation and an examen.  (They are not taking classes for credits so there aren't repercussions for them.)  Some random girl sat in with Mayela and me, but she didn't stay the whole time.  It was basically  like I had my own private class.  Neither Mayela nor the other girl had seen Mar adentro so I was the lucky one to recount the entire movie.  Then I got to give my presentation, which actually went well.  Then I got to take my test.  Lucky me!  Mayela said it was "torture Morgan day." haha.  The exam was SO LONG.  I opted not to take my second break so I could work on the exam.  When the bell went off, I looked at the clock and it was already the end of the day!!  I don't know how much time I had spent on the exam, but clearly it had consumed me and I lost track of time.

I do know that it started pouring rain while I was taking my exam.  This explains why I have internet access--I'm still at school.  Of course, the one day I don't bring my raincoat!  Seriously, weather, you could be a little more considerate!

My plans for the weekend: nada.  And I couldn't be happier.  I am triste that I can't spend Father's Day with my Daddy in the United States.  What kind of daughter leaves on the morning of Mother's Day and then extends her trip and misses Father's Day?!  Tisk, tisk.

Depending on the internet problems at the casa, it is likely that I won't update again until Monday.
