Plural Noun: Forgetful Meira

Dios Mio ( OMG) I have now upload the pictures that I set out to upload and the ones from March. So since I know everyone loves looking at pictures, I am posting them here . Enjoy!

Spring Semester 2010 Fin
As I type this , I have officially finished my study abroad program. Everyone went home today , and now I start my next adventure. Even though I am still abroad , my program ended and now I am just living here in Mexico for 6 weeks improving my Spanish. I started my day by getting up early , walking over to Cemal and telling everyone goodbye. I am proud of myself for not crying. I did get tears in my eyes but held them back.As soon as the van passed by with everyone on it heading to the airport , I couldn't hold it any longer , wiped out my phone , called mom and stood in the street for a good 5 minutes balling. I then proceeded to walk home crying talking to mom. My eye make up all over my face. But I think , some of the tears were for the people leaving ,but most of them were the realization that my study abroad experience is over. I have planned on studying abroad for so long , and then for it to be over is super crazy and feels very unreal. Ever since I was 12 or 13 I knew my junior year of college would be spent in some country. And now my junior year is DONE, or in the books. I am now officially a senior in college. How did that happen?
I do not know if I am going to be ready to leave this beautiful place in 6 weeks. I sure hope that I still love Mexico as much as I love it right now. But just as I said at the beginning of the semester , in the words of Kris Allen's song,
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying

Mi cumple
I must tell you, I have the greatest people surrounding me here in Mexico.My 22nd birthday was one of the best birthdays ever. I have always loved having my birthday in May because I always get nice weather , and yesterday went right along with that plan. Yes it was super hot and sticky , but it was sunny and in the shade it was just right.
I am having the standard birthday dinner this Thursday with everyone from CEMAL , but I still wanted to ring in my birthday. After going back and forth on saturday night with people on if we should go out or not , we all got ready quickly and then headed out onto the town .Along with 7 of the girls here at CEMAL, Andy ( the one guy in the program), My program intern Nora and her best friend in mexico Chucho , we went out to a dance club called Dubai, one of the best clubs in Cuernavaca. We got the the club at exactly midnight so I was truely celebrating my birthday with a bang.
I didnt take any pictures on Saturday night/ Sunday morning so you are going to have to use your imagination , but picture a large room with a stage at the front with the DJ booth, and then in a U shape are the tables , but the tables are on different levels .There are stairs going up to the different levels . It was like stadium seating but with enough room to have a table/ loveseats and soft chair and space in front for people to dance. The stairs we really hard to climb and even harder when you are a little intoxicated. There were sparking lights all over the room. I think the night started off right because we walked into the club to the Black Eyed Peas Song , I Gotta Feeling . If you are not up on your pop music and dont know this song the lyrics that most pertain to my birthday are... These are out of order of the song , but this sums up my birthday.
I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good good night.
Let's paint the town
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
and then we'll do it again
I know that we'll have a ball
You know what we say
Party every day
Pa pa pa Party every day
We danced all night long and did not leave the club to 4:30 in the morning. It was amazing. I got to sleep in on my brithday . When I went to bed on Sunday morning I was 21 and when I woke up at 11 on Sunday I was 22. It was the weirdest feeling.
After fully waking up and calling my mom to wish her a happy mothers day and to be told happy birthday, I set out to continue having the best birthday. of the girls and I went out and had birthday quesadillas at one of the cook´s quesadillas stands. It was delicious. The cheese and pinnaple quesadilla was fantastic and I had a great little informal birthday party. After eatting I went home to my mama and Sol and was sung happy birthday. My mama and I went out to lunch and then went out seraching for a cake. She didnt feel like baking because it was so hot outside. We found a bakery, got a cake and I got one to bring over to CEMAL. After out lunch, I went over to CEMAL , hung out for awhile digested from my food fest and then celebrated my birthday with cheesecake with the girls and Nora. After eatting cheesecake , I returned home for the night and watched TV with my mama. We watched the Mexican version of American Idol, called Segunda Oprotunidad , Second Opprotunity. I absolutly love it . After watching part of the show , Diego and Sol came home and we ate more cake .This time it was nut cake, and was delicious. They sang me Las Mañanitas, the mexican birthday song. We talked for awhile , and Diego told me that my spanish is improving alot , since he only sees me on weekends. After our little celebration ended , I was then able to open the 22 e-greeting cards that I was sent from my wonderful family, including my furry best friend Roger. I finally went to bed after a wonderful 24 hours of celebration. I am going to need a good 4 days to rest up for round 2 of birthday celebration. I seriously had one of the best birthdays ever, and it is in a large part to everyone that came out to celebrate with me on Saturday/ Sunday.

My blog counter
| Hello, all semester I have wanted to have a blog counter , but never got around to adding one , and I cant make it go not into a post so it is in a post. Lovely , I know, but my only option. |

Mi Casa es tu casa
Well ladies and gentlemen, I have delived on another of my promises. Actually I do not know if there are any gentlemen reading my blog, if there are that is fantastic. I know many ladies who read my blog so my saluatation to them is correct. Anyhow back to my reason for writing this blog . I am posting pictures of my house!!! I know get excited. There are no pictures of me in this post , but I promise by Monday afternoon there might be some up. Lets just see how tired I am after partying all weekend for my birthday.
AKA Meira partying is going to get quesdillas from Marisol's stand, and going to the place where Tarzan was shot. It is now a watering hole where people can go and swim. There might even be some pictures of me ringing in my day of birth/ cumpleanos at midnight . We will just have to wait and see. I am celebrating my birthday in style this year , and doing it the Mexican way . Not knowing when or where I will be at a given moment. Just the way my mother likes it. It drives her nuts, me living the life of not knowing my next move. Oh well, I will go back to being Meira the crazy planner on June 27, until then I am enjoying the life of being spontanious. I am sure many of my friends would love this , considering I plan weeks in advance what I am doing when at school. But yes , I know what you were thinking , I am the most exciting partier and I know how to have a grand old time and party it up. To end my partying weekend I get to eat cake! Or maybe I will just eat tons of cake all weekend long. You never know. I am the type of person who doesnt plan these things. I let the stars guide me.
But anyhow , sorry I keep getting off topic , here are some pictures of my house. The pictures of the bedroom is my bedroom. I know beautiful right? The rest are just pictures of mi casa. It is small and quant. Just the way I like it . Enjoy.
