time is flying

Well, I was actually pretty beat when I came home Wednesday night and called it an early night. I watched after dinner with Ema and Mario ¨Troy¨ it ended around 9pm, read a book and went to sleep around 10pm.

Thanks for the calls Sweety, made my morning so much better! It was the last day in school and I still have to think of something to give Carmen as a present. I hadn´t found the right thing for her yet. She is so nice! I will miss her. School was over and than it was time for lunch. I was so tired and since there were like 6 kids running around the house it was all just a bit too much. I slept for a while no matter how much noise they make. Chelsea went to town early. Camilla stopped by for a chat since she was a bit bored. We made a date for later to go to town together since we both had dates around 6pm. Robert called to tell me if we could move the time up since he had to clean his bedroom because the dog had found his cookies and they were all over his bed and floor ... While I was waiting for Roberto I got company from someone else! Here it really doens´t take long to have guys talking to you. Robert and me discussed where to go for dinner. He had heard from his teacher that there was a good place a bit further down the street we were on. It seemed to be forever and suddenly we had police and military uniforms in front of our noses. That area was really safe therefore. It was actually the most chic place I had seen in a while and the prices matched it as well. We had a quick look around and decided on the restaurant for dinner that I had found in the Lonely Planet. However, for his birthday we will return to ¨Panza Verde¨, get all dressed up and have fun together there! The place we went to ¨Queso y Vino¨ was really nice as well and the wine was great and the chat as well. We got to know each other better and I think that we might hang together a bit more in future when I return from my 2 weeks vacation. After dinner we went to La Sala and split up there since he got the message that someone was waiting for him in parque central. I started chatting with the guys I had meet at the after party until Elmer showed up. Who had called me surprise, surprise during dinner time asking if I would come out dancing. It was a fun night until this stupid cow managed to get my ankle real well with her stiletto. Skin is scrapped off and it is slightly swollen which takes care of what I will be wearing in Tikal - boots! It was all over again way too quickly and I crashed at his place. I walked in this morning around 8am and had my breakfast, a shower and than went to school. Vilma needed my passport number for the certificate and I chatted a bit with the rest. Tobias showed up and told us that he had been jumped here at night and that they tried to rob him but that he had defended himself and that is why his hand and leg are slightly mutilated. Too be honest his own bloody fault. He should know better than to go wandering alone around 2am at the bus station here in Jocotenago that is like an invitation! Now I am quickly online and than I will go home for lunch, meet Vilma later on since she will show me the project and afterwards I will meet Camilla for grocery shopping. I bet we will be hungry when we leave so early in the morning and the flight itself is around 6am and doesn´t even last an hour. If I get out of Antigua at a reasonable time I might go to bed for some sleep and than go dancing since I had promised Felix to return something to him otherwise I will stay in ...

I did my shopping today, withdrew money at the ATM before the run started at the banks again. Every Friday here is pay day and the lines at the banks are crazy. Also at the 1. and 15. are not very good ideas to do bank transactions inside, take forever! I thought it better to try to withdraw money today since in the weekends it happens that the ATMs are empty or are out of order. Monday being Labour Day here means all banks will be closed etc. I am glad that Camilla and em will go by plane and return Sunday means a whole morning to sleep in for me while for her it means a phone interview on Monday mornring. If we aren´t too beat we will say bye to Anja and Suzanna who are going travelling and might or might not return here again. I had dinner in the mean time and now I only have to pack my stuff together for the trip and than I am off to bed to get rid of this stupid cold for good. I have been sleeping a lot lately and have been taking it very easy with everything, oh well! As long as my ears will be fine than I will be fine as well ... Next week vacation time which means nothing that I really have to do and we can just chill and talk and do nothing like lying in a hammock and watch time go by ... I am sure that I´ll be ready afterwards to get started with my project.
