I haven't been listening to music a lot these days, it's making me sad. :(
today, I went on a tour around Mexico city, I had never been on a double decker bus and I never thought I would get on one here. I feel so naive around these people, they all seem older and more experienced than I am.
Mexico is alright, it just seems ... Smaller than I thought. The independence angel for example, I thought it would be huge but it's actually pretty small. We saw the Spain soccer team taking pictures there, best part of the tour :)
I forgot to say I went to the uk consulate to apply for a visa, it was a whole show I didn't meet the people from the program til this morning and thank god I did, I filled out the forms wrong but they helped me get them right, lucky me printed everything twice. Now I just have to wait for their decision.

I'm aliiiiive!!
So I guess I missed two days of blogging, I knew something like this would happen. BUT I'm typing this now on my iPod so that should make it up for it.
What happened lately? Oh well I signed my resignation, said goodbye to my family and friends and got on a plane to Mexico city. Now I don't think I've shared this before but I have an irrational fear of flying, so it was pretty much a big deal for me to get on a plane by myself. I'm alive, and right now sharing a room with two other girls and I haven't met my teammate yet.
I've had this weird feeling all day of nervousnes and I just know it won't go away until I go out from the uk consulate tomorrow, wish me good luck!
Sexy: sorry to say this but, blackberry cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream. The best dessert I've had in my life, it was made by an old lady I used to work with and hayley's blog reminded me of it, yum.
Unsexy: airlines. I hate them and their planes and delays and employees and everything.

I needed to cross an ocean,
I needed to find some time,
sick of being in slow motion,
I'm tired of writing the same lines.

luggage and stuff.
Today I finally went to pay for my plane ticket to Mexico City. As I was handing the guy my credit card I did not want to give it to him, not because I wouldn't trust him or because it was too much money, I'm actually terrified of this trip.
To top that we went to buy luggage for when I go to the UK. Now, we have always had bags, but they were used by my mother/father/sister/me whenever we went out of town, hell if we weren't going to spend a lot of time in another place we even shared one for everybody. I've never had one I could call my own.
My mother told me she would buy me one as a birthday present. Today, I recieved that belated birthday present. I went with the Samsonite XSpace 26", which was bigger (I figured one big bag would be better than a couple of small ones) and more expensive than what I had thought it would be but mother suggested it and I thought the colour was okay.
Obviously with a thing like that they don't "pack" it or put it in a bag, they just put a sticker on it and let you walk out of the store like that. Our car was all the way across the mall and I had to drag that big ass thing around all day. We hadn't even left the store when I was already getting compliments on it, one lady even told me if it were hers, she wouldn't even use it just because it was that beautiful, she was so positive and friendly and optimistic; I hate people like that, the kind of people who randomly start conversations with other people at the mall and decide it's okay telling them what to do with the things that they just bought. Sigh, sorry, stress again.
And now I have my bag right here next to my bed, as a constant reminder that I'm moving to the other side of the world pretty soon. I'm kind of hating it already.
Things I have to do tomorrow*:
- Fill out the applications I printed today.
- Go get my photograph taken for the visa.
- Go shopping, specifically: white shirt, tights and uw. (I know you wanted to know)
- Do the freakin´laundry.
- PACK.
- Say goodbye to my friends who I wont be able to see on Wednesday morning.
- Call my job and see if they want me to go sign my resignation this day seeing as they didn't call me today.
ttfn
Sexy: the Hello Kitty tee I'm wearing. I'm not even a big HK fan, but it says "I don't know why you say good bye when I say hello" Beatles<333
Unsexy: Gastritis. I wouldnt click it if I were you.
Song of the day: Break your little heart by All Time Low. But I recently wanted THIS acoustic cover by Lex Croucher who has made me fall in love with her version.

Watch you take the fall
Laughing all the way to the hospital
‘cause there’s nothing surgery can do
When I break your little heart in two

BEDA
Blog every day in August? here we go.
So what did I do today? I went to Las Grutas de Garcia with my father, which are some caves inside one of our mountains. I believe I had been there onlyonce before in my whole life and we're like 25 min away from it, father had never been there. I had a blast, I think he had fun too. Neither of us are outdoor people, and after the first climb he was ready to give up, but I encouraged him to keep going, we walked and walked and finished exhausted but these are the kind of things I will look back and remember I did with him. He truly is the best father in the whole world cause no one else would follow me in my crazy adventures, no questions asked, no complaining.
I went there because I needed some pictures for this presentation I'm making, from my home state. I think it's coming out okay, if I can I will post it here once we're done with everything.
Things that I have to do tomorrow:
- Call old job and go sign my resignation.
- Get my old uniforms ready to give back to my old job.
- Upload grades from my last two courses.
- Buy tickets to Mexico City, since I'm leaving on wednesday.
- Scan a picture, and send it to the SEP.
- Print my visa application and gather all the documents I need.
- Print board game I made and put it together.
- Take a shower.
- BEDA.
God, I'm gonna be busy.
Blog every day in August?
I must be insane.

busca tu refugio en mi paladar,
un mundo sin ti es una fiera sin domar.

Hold me, hold me, lay me down.
Last friday during one of my classes, one of my students asked me if I liked being a teacher, I told him I did and I wasn't lying. He seemed surprised, "Don't you get tired of teaching always the same stuff?" to which I replied I don't! I absolutely adore the language and the grammar and it's never exactly the same, each month I get to change to a different group and start all over again. Of course sometimes we get to teach the same group again, but then it's with a different course and it makes it different from the one you taught before.
The fact that I only have 3 weeks left at my work it's starting to sink in. :-/
I've been looking at flights and flats, applying for a visa and working on the material I need to bring. I'm so exhaustedly busy these days. I also started a project with my friend F and her friend Jenn, I have seriously zero time to do this right now but I had already promised I'd do it, and I think it's going to be fun anyway.
I want to see sooo many movies:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - duh. I haven't watched the soundtrack yetttt, i'm trying to avoid it.
Going the Distance - drew barrymore<33
Scott Pilgrim vs the world - Michael Cera and a kickass soundtrack.
Nowhere Boy - I've been waiting too long for this. Thomas Sangster is in it.
I'll leave you with this:
Are you ready for some ACTUAL questions; questions that teenagers actually go through?

Did you lie on any of these questions so far?
I don’t think so.
Are you the oldest child?
No, I'm not.
What was the last thing you said to someone?
“you have one of the least subtle tastes in jewelry I have ever seen in a woman!"”

Is the last person you kissed older than you?
He is indeed.
Do you have a job?
Yes, oh the joys.
Do you work days or nights?
I work during the day.
Would you rather be called honey or baby?
neither of them is that original anyway, aren't they?
What’s your opinion on cake?
I approve.
Have you heard of the band The Dandy Warhols?
Yes, yes i have.
Do you automatically check your phone when you wake up?
Yes.
Who was the last person you argued with? About what?
Mmm... my mother I think. About me not wanting to have dinner and she wanted me to.
What color are your eyes?
Black.
Lyrics from the song you’re listening to?
And if I start to look around when you speak, it's not because I don't care
it's just sometimes I find another angle of your beauty, I have to try not to stare. <3

Talk to me now I'm older...
You said that you're gonna miss me more than I'll miss you. You said I'll be in a new exciting place and I won't even have the time to remember you with all the things I'll be seeing and exploring while you'll still be here doing the same things you do everyday. I said I'm gonna miss you more than what you'll miss me, cause you'll be here, home, contiuing with your life and you'll probably make new friends and go on with your life and forget about all the fun times that we have had, while I'll be away homesick and thinking about you constantly.
I might get to see London, but it still won't be the same without you. <3
I'm getting nostalgic and want to have a HP movies marathon sometime soon. Also, I might have signed up in a couple of networking sites today, I was that bored.
Sexy: Geeks, I can't help it. I'm attracted to guys with musical talents and/or brains.
Unsexy: Having to go to work early when clearly the school should not have opened this morning and on top of everything only having 2 students.
Song of the day: 12:51 by the Strokes. <333

I feel I'll love you all my life...
I'm typing this for you when I should already be at work. Classes were canceled today and maybe tomorrow because we have a hurricane, we're all good but it's raining like crazy. I'm mostly happy but a little worried because father went to work and didn't come home to have lunch because of the rain, also a bit annoyed because canceled classes mean that we will have to make up for that lost classes some time next week.
My birthday was okay, people don't seem to understand after telling them for over 20 years that I do NOT like birthdays, I do not like the big parties, the only good thing are the cakes. Maybe the presents but I think every year they get lamer and lamer so. I got clothes, money, chocolates and music, which was quite nice.
I also got one of the best presents I could ask for, a mail from who would be one of my bosses in the UK. She told me where I'm going to be living and the name of the school I'll be working. I still need to recieve an email from the school but at least I know where I'm going.
There are blond hairs on my pillow, this can only mean two things, 1) my best friend stayed over last night, and 2) she is going bald. XD I have missed her like crazy and we both got today off so we have been hanging out all last night and today.
that's it
ttfn
Sexy: Driving with your favorite people in the whole world, under the rain, listening to the Grease soundtrack. It's at times like this when I turn around and ask myself "Why the hell would I ever want to leave?"
Unsexy: Stupid txt msg hurrican alerts. I've gotten like 6 now, I forgot to pay the cell so I have to wait for people to call ME so I can't turn it off, and the goverment or whatever keeps sending me this alerts that all they say is "Be careful, we're under alert because there's a hurricane" no shit, like I hadn't heard anything about it!
