Reflections/I'm SOOOOO Excited!

Hello all (=

This day is quite lovely.

a)It's now weekend and I'm done with classes!

b) I received a package from my mommy and family and Oma. And I'm very spoiled and they shouldn't send me more cause I'm very spoiled but I loooooove them!

c) I'm leaving on a bus at 11pm tonight with 5 friends for Hualtulco!!!! The beach paradise of 9 bays. I'm extremely excited. I need to pack. Lots of sunscreen....I know Mom (=. We are going to lay on the beach and drink fruity drinks and make our own dinners with cereal cause we're cheap, and spend our money on a horse back tour. I think lol. I don't really know for sure. I just know that I have keys to an apartment my host aunt owns, some money, a bus tickets, and friends. That's good enough to make my day! We'll be gone until Sunday. Hopefully I'll be back with a tan and lots of photos and stories for you guys (=

I also have been reflecting lately....after receiving a care package from PLU in which they sent me fruit leather lol....about the things that they told us about going to Oaxaca that have come true. One, probably the biggest, is how much we would bond over bodily functions.....sicknesses, runny noses, periods, mosquito bites, rashes, and especially.....poop. Really! It's amazing how a simple bodily function can make such good friends (=. You should've heard us last weekend at San Juan Sosola, "Oh I'm constipated, I haven't pooped in 3 days!.....Oh I've got the runs I have to go every 20 minutes!....Yeah the squirts are the worst!....At least you don't have your period!" So for your pleasure (or for that of my brothers) here's some poop vocab!

popa = poop
caca = poop (little more crude form of the word...like crap)
pompis = bottom
cagar = to poop (verbs baby!)
lanzar popa = to have diarrhea, also the verb used in to shoot off fireworks lol (lanzar fuego artificiales
tirar cacahuates = another way to say have diarrhea....the best I've heard (from one of the boys on the trip) it literally translates to "to throw peanuts" lol

All right. Now that I feel like a 10 year old boy, I'll just conclude with.....I'm glad all the PLU people here have bonded over something (=....and don't worry....not just poop. AND...I hope no one has to "tirar cacahuates" this weekend.

LOVE!
