October 21

Well, I am really exhausted but really happy. I think I’m getting sick again. No, I know that I’m getting sick again. I can’t go like a day here without either being on my period or sick. I hate it, but I’m having a good time. Today was exhausting.

I didn’t go to school today. I had a “headache.” And afterwards I sat outside and watched all the san Lucas kids go home from school and I got to see my friends, which was really nice. And then I had dance class from 2-4:30. That was physically draining. Arabe is such a work out and so is ballet because we just do the same thing non-stop over and over for over an hour. When I got home, I sat down to eat, and I could barely get back out of my chair. I was so sore!

I slept until I was going to meet everyone at the gym but they had gone to meet me, so Nube and I drove around until we found them. Then we went back to 2 more hours of dance class. It was so exhausting.

When Jane and I were walking home, we investigated this party looking this at this brand new building. There was free food everywhere! There was cake, and drinks, and lots of boys. We watched this cool drum line and then walked around and all these people (guys) kept trying to come up and talk to us. At first it was these two guys from the gym and then it was these two old guys that work at the Sheraton that invited us to go to the pool there whenever we wanted. That’s pretty sweet. They were really nice, and not creepy. Then, all the boys came up and like surrounded us and were talking to us and asking where we were from; where we went to school; if we were going to Cuba tonight. I felt like an animal in the zoo! They all wanted to talk to us and get kisses, it was soooo funny. We had to make an escape. But it was a really good and it made me genuinely happy to see all those people be together and celebrating. It was really nice.

That was it for my day.
