Posted Some Pics from Mexico
OK, so I finally got around to posting a few of the pictures taken during my Spring Break in Erendira, Mexico. The link can be found to the right under the "Link" heading (imagine that!), or you can just click here
The weekend is over
Another Monday. Week two of the Spring quarter. Nine more to go after this one (including finals week). Held a shindig on Friday to celebrate my birthday (which I alluded to in my last post). Quite fun if I do say so myself. Some old friends from Stenner and CDM Tech. were able to make it which was great. First time I'd gotten to hang out with some of those people in years. Also a lot of new friends I've made while living in this new house this year made it.
Then on Saturday, there were two parties that I decided to grace with my presence. First, it was off to a Hurricane party at my roomie Chelsea's friends Liz's place. I stayed away from the hurricanes and had some Amber Bock. When people started leaving Liz's place, Mike and I went to my friend Nate's house. He was having a cocktail party with mandatory dress and all. An excuse to wear my zoot suit, how could I turn that down. Finally turned in sometime early Sunday morning. Needless to say, Friday and Saturday weren't very productive as far as school is concerned.
I got a decent amount of work done on Sunday and Today though. I'm thoroughly enjoying the reading for my PoliSci class so far. Hopefully it holds up throughout the quarter. I'm planning on heading down to Berdo for the Easter weekend to spend some time with the family. I'll have to borrow a laptop from school again so that I can work on the Senior Project over the weekend. Rebecca, wish you could be there. We'll be at Angelita's on Sunday, so give us a call SINCE NO ONE HAS YOUR NUMBER! ;)

It's been awhile since my lazy ass posted
I just got an email from my sister bugging me to post. It's exactly the motivation I needed. I think that not having an internet connection available while in Mexico broke me of my somewhat consistent habit of posting. Anywho, here I am.
So Mexico.... Well, it was great. I'll post some pictures soon and link to them. As far as the specifics go, I'm not sure where to start. So I'll just start typing and stop when I stop. People: Met some great people while we were down at the hostel. First was a trio of rowdy gentlemen from London, who incidentally ended up getting thrown out of the hostel at the end of their stay. Alex, Mark and Mark. Drank lotso beer with them, went to the beach and rented a jet ski from a local (a story in and of itself to be told at another time), had mucho fun. Had many a drunken discussion about cockney rhyming slang and other linguistic idiosyncracies found in England.
We also met a couple from England, Sean and Julia, who were alot of fun. When we met them they were on the first week of a year long journey around the world. They provided us with a url for the company that they purchased their tickets through. I still have as yet to check it out, but I plan to. Sounds like a good deal. They paid something like $1500 American and can fly to any number of places, a given numbe rof times, within a certain time period, or something... The two of them caught a ride into Ensenada early one morning and so, initially, we weren't able to give them a proper goodbye. However, the 7 of us (from SLO) were going to Ensenada ourselves that day. So I'm walking down the street by myself at about 4pm and I hear someone yell out "MIGUEL!!". I peer in the direction of the voice thinking someone is calling to me. I don't see any familiar faces, and at the same time realize that I am in Mexico and I'm not the only person named Miguel (I'm a GENIUS!). A minute later and I hear my name again. It's none other than Julia. It turns out that they were staying in a little hotel on the corner of the block that I happened to be waiting at. How random is that? So we all headed to Hussong's and had a few beers together, took a few pics and were able to give them a proper goodbye.
I also met a group of girls from Bellingham, WA. That gives me someone to visit when I move up to Seattle in August.
New Subject. Food: Yes. Good stuff. Went to the beach a few days while down in Mexico. Picked mussels and ate them raw. Yum. Also brought a cooler full of them back to the hostel and cooked them up. Had lobster, lots o' tacos, and way too much beer and tequila (that qualifies as food right?).
Ok, I'm tired of typing, so the post ends here. I'll see about getting those pictures up on the net. After all, a pictures worth a thousand words right?
