Today is my first day of class. I had Spanish this morning at 11am and got scared shitless by the fact that everyone seems to be a native or heritage speaker.

So I crashed a big Microsoft party with my brother and sister in law tonight. I ate yummy free food and drank free drinks. We sailed to the party and back.
And to top off this great night, I came home to see that I'm on Modblog!

Morgy...you have such a great presense in the ModBlog site. You're such a kind soul & you're an inspiration to many using your summer to help so many others. Bless your heart! As far as the Microsoft Party: I'm jealous as a heart attack...even though their products constantly need to be patched
Hola Companeros!
Hey ya'll! I'm back in Seattle! My trip back was relatively uneventful (I barely made the plane at LAX) and I got into bed around 1am on Tuesday morning. It's good to be home and have access to a hot shower and mattress for the first time in a week!

- Sometimes it amazes me how you can do so much in such a small period of time. You obviously put your your heart and soul into the activities you were involved with down there..and they were extremely lucky to have had you and your classmates.
- I like that area of the country (Seattle, that is...specifically west across the sound in Bremerton since I have relatives there )...good Scandinavian cafes in Ballard...and the time I got completely shitfaced in Dubliner? I forgot the spelling...all I remember is the patch of road w/ my puke all over (but I didn't mess up my shoes

Welcome back.
T&S were adorable live. Though I missed the first 40 minutes of their show due to them not having an opening band. I am a little in love with them right now. And yes, their new album is awesome, they played all their new songs. I need to get it.

This week was my last week of my study abroad program. I made some amazing friends and learned some amazing things and I'm sure I'll always remember my 6 weeks with the Mexico Solidarity Network.

- Avocado, lime, and salsa on a roll? I dunno!, but growing up, L.F. and I ate tons of chicharron: We'd have it in a plastic bag and put in vinegar to add "zest."
Have a continued great time there Morgy...

Oventic is AMAZING. The people are friendly, the little kids are always
trying to get you to come play, the food is FANTASTIC and the weather is
lovely. Even though it's the rainy season here, it's still really
pleasant. It usually rains around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, but before
that it's sunny and warm and beautiful. The days go really fast because

- When it comes to your teenage group, remember that in the end, YOU'RE the leader of the pack, not Zacharias. If he has a problem w/ that, you can call upon the lot of us on "The Forum" to drive down in a bunch of Harleys...j/k, but it would be funny, huh?
- Make sure to wear the super-duper thick rubber gloves and a mask when you're cleaning el bano...yuck!

You know, I honestly thought you were going to Mexico to do volunteer work. I had no idea you were getting an education too! Man, I just didn't realize, but now that I do it's grand...and I'm jealous!!! hehe

I'll be in Mexico from June 2nd (tomorrow!) to August 2nd. I will have internet access, but not daily. I don't know if I'm going to bother updating my various journals, either- If you want updates you should've let me know so I could have added you to the mailing list
Anyways, see ya'll in August!

- Wow you got a house in your 2nd year? You lucky dawg! I didn't move out of the dorms 'til my 3rd year!
- Open relationship? Nothing wrong w/ that when you want to enjoy your college experience. If it's meant to be monogamous, it will be when and if you're ready for it...and with the right person (not necessarily who you're with now, that is). Life is what you make it and lately you've been making good ones, so I'm psyched for you Morgy!
- I'm tired and stressed as well...it's a friggin' pain trying to jump-start my life again after loosing a shitload this year. I have my fingers crossed for you to have a kick-ass semester. It's great to hear from you

but i'm sure you'll do fabulously.
