La Pachanga

Wow, the past few days have been a blur of lots and lots of stuff going on! After recovering from the little friends that were swimming around in my stomache, I dove into normal life... which just keeps getting busier every week! In July, when we had short-term-team followed by youth camp followed by another short-term-team, I remember thinking that when all that was over I'd have lots of time to relax. But that just never happened... I LOVE what I do though, so even if it is sometimes exhausting, I still enjoy!!

Last night may possibly have been one of my favorite days ever. Now, I DON'T make a habit of riding around with a car full of boys, so yesterday was an exception, and besides, Ana was going to come but ended up not...
So, me, JP, Schultz, Dani, and Aron all went over to JP's house to watch a movie. It was the one about a lady who got kidnapped and miraculously reaches some random kid's cell phone by re-assembling a broken phone in the room she's locked in... Not sure what went wrong here, but the movie kind of turned like that dumb TV show "Mystery Science Theater" (not even sure that's what it's really called!) where two puppets make funny comments while watching movies. The movie really isn't a funny one, but there were times when we were just dying laughing because of all the crazy comments. It was so bad, in fact, that Alex, Polla, and Sayuri came over about 15 minutes into the movie, and decided to leave because they thought we were too over-the-top!

After the movie finished, we wanted to go downtown. It started raining. No one had hardly any money. But we went and walked around, soaking wet in the Centro, got stuffed churros (about 50 cents each), pizza and pop, and stood outside the pizza booth (you can't enter the building, you just walk up to the window and order you pizza slice and go sit in some plaza or something) eating and making up ridiculous dance moves to the Mariachi music that was playing in the pizza booth. The few other people who were actually out in the rain walked by pointing and laughing. We proceeded to the car and woke up one of JP's neighbors (hey, it was only like 11pm!) from singing too loud in the car (ok, "singing" is a stretch, more like screeching).

And now, I am procrastinating. I have to finish translating another chapter of small-group material to take to church with me at 8:30 tomorrow morning, plus I need to get stuff ready for my english class and my spanish class (I am going back to school!!), and here I am writing this dumb journal entry. heehee!
