American life as it used to be....

Hey dudes!!!!!!

I've been going to school for about a month now, and almost back for 2 months. I can't believe it's been that long already.
I have a lot of classes this semester because I have to catch up from last year. Hahahaha

And now I'm applying to be a professional business student at my university. About 2000 students apply every semester and they accept 400. I have my assessnent tests and my interviews in 2 weeks. So wish me luck.
My university is really big here. There are about 50,000 students here. So it takes me 30 minutes to walk between classes. But it a very nice university. I took these pictures in the morning when it's not over-crowded with people.

I've also been working in a restaurant. It's in the northern part of town. It's a "corners of the world" restaurant so we have a lot of Tapas. And on thursdays we have live jazz, and fridays a live band, and saturdays a bellydancer and then after that a live DJ. It sounds strange but it's a nice place. The only thing is in the US servers make money only by the tips that people leave, so we have to practically kiss eveyone's ass. Hahaha
I've been going to a lot of American football and baseball games here too. They're really fun(at least for me.) Haha. I'll take pictures of my university's football game next time they play at our school so i can show you, same thing for the baseball.

The more time I spend here, the more I realize how much my life here is a typicall stereotype of Americans(in a good way of course :)

So I took a couple of pictures from one of the pool parties I went to. The party started at 12 noon, and by the time I got there at 3 everyone was already drunk. They had already drunk 1 and a half beer kegs, and all of the hard alcohol between them. By about 10:30pm everyone was already passed out on the beds and the couches. So my friend and I had to sleep on the dog bed. And it was NOT comfortable at all. We all woke up at about 7 in the morning and everyone started playing games again and swimming.........


I went to work from there, and I'm sure I was still a bit drunk. Good thing I didn't get pulled over or else I might have been in jail now, hahaha
And yesterday I took two exchange students out to dinner with my friends. They're from Britain. With realy thick british accents. (which made me think of Joe) And listening to them talk about how everything is so different and american made me think of how you guys would say the same thing if you were here. haha
Well I have to go to to try and sleep, my aunt is visiting us and i gave her my room. So i've been sleeping on the couches/the floor for 2 weeks, and I only get about 6 hours of sleep.

Tomorrow night mitra's boyfriend is coming to meet my parents for the first time. Wish him luck. hahaha
Jk
I love you guys, and miss you more every day
Kisses

p.s. Mario, sorry I keep missing you on the internet. I should be home and online all day tomorrow. So I hope you can be on then.
