birthday madness

Well as the title says these past few days have been filled with birthday fun. Friday was a pretty bland day, and it started sprinkling. Then that night for my friend and my birthdays we went out. We decided on a club with open bar. It was a crazy night, but the 10 of us had tons of fun. Saturday came around and I got out of bed around 1:30 to study with an insistent classmate. It started raining on the walk to school and we studied for 3 hours. That night I had dinner plans to meet with the crew going to San Antonio. It was a fun dinner. Sunday the plan was to go to Plaza Sesamo. The forecast was rain, but with a sunny morning we went for it. We rode the few adult rides which included the SCARIEST ride ever (see: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mLyIjCz56Mk&feature=related) and a roller coaster. The SKP was amazingly fun, but so scary. As you can see they have two cars. We got the pleasure of waiting at the top while the other loaded. That was the scariest part. Any movement and we screamed, but we got a good view of the city. We then headed to the water area and the clouds showed up. It started raining while we were eating and we decided to head to the dance show at school. We got there and realized none of us had our free entrance cards and with the tickets costing more then a cab ride home we made the rounds. After getting back we found out they decided not to allow the free passes for the show. What a bummer. It was still a good show. Then it was dinner with my roommate, but before I decided to go to the store while waiting for him. While waiting to check-out I realized I had no cash or a wallet. My roommate had to bring me money, and I felt like a dork.

Monday was my birthday. The weather was raining in the morning, but the afternoon perked up. I didn't do much, but my host parents bought me a cake and one roommate got me presents. I talked with my mom until the phone died right as my dad was about to get on. Tuesday the sun came back for a full day and with it brought the warmth back. The day was boring I had a test and found out I got a 90 on another without the 15 point curve. That night two friends invited me to a baseball game. They got free tickets since their host dad is one of the coaches. The ball park was a little small, and the seats were old. The don't assign seats at all so we sat behind the dugout right behind the team's cheerleaders. All the vendors looked just like the ones on the street and acted more like waiters. The never had changes so you would just run up a tab. The prices were great. $1.80 for a hotdog and $2.50 for a beer. We were having so much fun we got on the Jumbotron 4 times. Monterrey won so we were excited. When I got home my host dad told me he kept seeing me on TV. Today ended the last day of real classes, just review day and finals. In one of my classes a Mexican friend and the teacher were telling me how they were watching the baseball game and kept seeing me on TV. I felt like a celebrity. This afternoon wasn't too exciting just getting ready for San Antonio. I figures I would blog before hand. Well hope everyone has a good rest of the week and weekend.
