The week has been fun. Alot of school. Had dinner with some people. Went to a couple clubs. Everyone was way excited to see me out and about. People are so nice when they're drunk!

Hard to find a balance between going out and school when you're studying abroad. Everyone's out partying every night. I tried to stay out all night on Wednesday and I was so over it at school the next morning. I slept through my alarm and got to school late. Which I hate. Arriving early is so important for school, I think. Anyway, from now on I'm a weekend warrior.

I didn't come here to party - I came to learn Spanish and ace this uhh... stuff. (No swears in the scholarship blog!!!)

I survived my first weekend. Stayed out Friday night. Slept in. Went walking though the park. Found the Atlantic ocean - which smelled alot like the county fair for some reason. Bought a hamburguesa grande y un coca for 9 pesos ($3 American). Ate it. Wrote in my notebook. Went home, slept some more. Went shopping - and I found so many treasures, oh, my God my suitcase was heavy enough as it is. Postcards, earrings, rings, pants and shirts all for a fraction of the price they would have been in America. Okay, but no more shopping - I must save my money.

I have alot to study and alot to think about. But I'm working it all out... hopefully.

More to come later.

Love,
Elizabeth
