It's already October 27?! Today is my 3 month anniversary, here in beautiful Guanajuato. However, I have to admit this month has been the roughest ... I've experienced illness, homesickness, and I've had to share "my" city with 50,000+ tourists! Guanajuato is known for its Cervantino Festival (a 3 week festivity celebrating performing arts) and people from all over the world come and bombard the streets of gto. It's super annoying -- basically I've been under house arrest for the last 2 weekends. The weekends during Cervantino are unbearable. It's miserable! But yesterday was the last day of the festival -- so my city is back to normal. Whoo hoo!
So yep, I've been here for 3 months -- in fact, I register for classes for next semester today. I can't believe I have 1 more semester left, I graduate May 9, 2009 -- I'll no longer be an undergrad student. I'm only taking 12 credit hours next semester but one of my classes is senior research -- ewwww. I'm not looking forward to that. I'm so sad that I'll be leaving a culture of relaxation but I am beyond excited to return home, it's definitely bittersweet. However, I know once I start my senior research I'll be begging to come back to Guanajuato.
So in the last month -- I've been to Puerto Vallarta and back. Some of my friends and I went for a weekend of amazingness!!! PV was great and it's what the doctor ordered. PV is 10 hours away so the bus ride was quite interesting but I woke up on the beach! .... I spent 2 days walking up and down the beach, watching gorgeous sunsets, eating traditional Mexican food (gto doesn't have the typical Mexican menu, the food here is more bland), drinking on the beach and dancing the night away (there's some awesome clubs in PV). It was perfect. If I had money, I would have for gone classes for the week and just stayed on the beach.
