looking up

The day after my last post, perfect timing I suppose, I got two e-mails. One from my study abroad advisor here saying she fixed the insurance card and a new one is on the way. The second was from the head of International Students at Tec; she said that they still haven't recieved my e-mail, but she will trust that I will pay it when I get here, place me with a family, and I can void the check. I won't find out anything about the family until the day I get there though, a little anerving, but I can handle it.

This weekend I did a few more things: bought a phone card, got a Costco card (yes Monterrey has two), signed up for a Costco rewards AMEX, transfered money into my checking, bought a new laptop (built in webcam), and worked on readying my laptop.

I also helped to ready the house for Christmas. My mom and I finished decorating the upstairs tree, found and put up the downstairs tree, and got out all the Santas (we are now up to 94!) The craziest part was Chico just goes wild this time of year. He was knocking ornaments off faster then we could hang them.

Well hope everyone had a great weekend, aside from the cold, snow, and ice. I should have fun with finals this week, and I will write again soon.
