Since I didn’t speak much Spanish during Spring Break, I vowed to only speak Spanish for the rest of my time here. I hope I can keep it up. I was successful until school let out.

Ross Romero (through Megan) asked me to be his campaign manager for Senate seat 7. I want to do it and think I can do it; I just don’t want to do exactly what I did last time. This race, I think, will be more competitive and I like that. I haven’t formally accepted the job yet.

In conversation class, I thought I moved down in level because I was in a class with people who speak worse than me. I felt stupid and was mad until I realized that I was wrong.

Also in class, I commented that I thought hippies are stupid, lazy, and druggies. Lauren and Beth apparently took offense at the comment and argued with me. It’s probably because I was describing the people they were with for Spring Break—it didn’t help that they smoked pot and I was obviously disappointed in them.

I took a long nap and then Austin and I went to the gym. When I weighed myself, I received a surprise—I’ve lost 14 pounds since coming to Cuernavaca. I’m so excited! I can really see a difference in my body and I hope that others will too when I return to the US.

I talked to Brian tonight on IM. It’s always nice to hear him say “I miss you.” It’s really nice to be wanted by someone.

I watched the first 2 hours of the new season of “24.” While it’s been going on for awhile in the states, the new season just started here in Mexico. I normally wouldn’t have watched it since Brian is DVRing it, but Brian told me that (for some unknown reason) the DVR erased the first 2 episodes. I’m glad I caught those episodes because I love 24!!
