semesters over

I just have to say that I hate B+'s. I hate when you have 89 percent. I mean I am soo close to an A- and would much rather get an A-. Cant teachers just give you the .03 percent that you are away from an A. I mean, technically its not the teachers fault, because thats what you earned. But still I hate being so close, yet not getting it. With that being said I think overall I did pretty well this semester. I got 3 A's and 2 B+s. I liked my classes and learned a lot! I love Mexico and will miss it a ton! I really liked my Spanish communication, consumer behavior and rock climbing class (thus the reason I got A's in them- they were enjoyable). and i didnt really like my International business or spanish grammar classes or teachers. but Oh well. It was such a fun semester! Seriously if anyone is even remotely thinking that they wanna do study abroad DO IT!! Its the best experience.

its beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS

No we dont have snow. But everyone is putting up christmas lights and decorations, and all the main streets. Last night we made Gingerbread Houses with a couple American Families from my ward. It was so fun. This is my gingerbread house-



Decorating with love

Our gingerbread village! The twins were the best- Ryan even made shingles out of Cinnamon toast cereal and a sleigh. Celests was a mexican christmas with green grass. Mine had a snowman. they were all so creative!

BUNGEE and Cola de Caballos

I went...3...2...1... Bungee! Yes you guessed it Bungee Jumping!! If you like falling, head first 230 feet into a valley of trees, that takes your breath away, then get bounced back up before hitting the ground and dangle around for a few minutes with blood rushing to your head then bungee jumping is for you! Miia and I went to Cola de Caballos and it was so fun! First we did bungee then we hiked up to a beautiful waterfall. Freakin scary but awesome! I loved it. I screamed a lot!!!!

Parties

Saying goodbye is so sad. On Thursday after dinner and resting we had a party at the Germans house and it was way fun...but I fogot to take pictures. Friday we had a party at Casa Azul and it was fun- I am so glad I came to Monterrey! I love my friends. After the party I to a fun place where there was a live band and we danced and hung out! So fun!
