Numero Uno

I got so frustrated in class today because I couldn't understand a Spanish concept. I got angry when the teacher wanted to stop the whole class and I think I mildly yelled at her to just move on without me. I said I'd catch up later. During the break, I asked Beth if I was rude and she said no. During the break, I figured out the concept.

I send a birthday card to Dad and Tanner today. I hope they receive it on time (though mail from Mexico is very slow). I also sent an email to Katy Pace because her birthday is coming up and I don't know her address. So far, I'm keeping up my 2006 birthday goal!

I sent an email to Mom asking her if she thought me going to El Salvador for spring break would be a good idea. I don't really want to go on spring break with people here in Mexico. I don't know why. I'd love to just go to SLC and spend my time with Brian, but that'd be gay.

I got a haircut today. Since I've cut my own hair for years, I forgot how nice it feels to have someone else cut it. I enjoyed it immensly, though when she asked me something about my sideburns, I assumed she asked if I wanted them trimmed. Well, she basically shaved them off. Normally, this would be okay, but it looks terrible with my beard. My hair and my beard are not connected!

I did homework in the computer lab and was really productive, more productive than when I do homework in bed right before I go to sleep.

On the way home, Austin and I had a great talk about culture. I told him that I'm glad I was born an American because I think we have the best culture in the world. He said I was ignorant by saying the US was the best. I told him that American's have a better standard of living than other countries, that American's are a loving and welcoming people, and something about our country makes us the most powerful in the world. Yes, there are problems, but all countries have problems. I'm glad I was born in the US because my life is better because of it.

The water situation, specifically the shower, is annoying me! I get hot water for 7 minutes and then the water turns lukewarm/cold. One time, the hot water lasted for 20 minutes! Why can't it just be consistant! Lately, it's been getting cold after 5 minutes. Oh, the memories!
