Today was Monday. Class. 'nuff said.
Also, our class went on a bus tour of Merida. It was hot, the tour guide sounded like Borat, and the seats made my booty hurt. Silivia got mad at us every time she heard us say something in English, and once again, she gave us lots of homework. In addition to my daily work, on Wednesday I will be writing a 2-page essay on someone I admire and giving a 10 minute power point presentation on said person. Que padre. Which is Mexican-Spanish for "how cool." But of course, it is sarcasm.
I had a good siesta today. The first time I've actually siesta-ed without the help of Benadryl.
After the tour, I came home to a dark house. So I ate cornflakes and yogurt in the kitchen. I came upstairs and heard loud coughing. From the dark, empty guest room next door. A few minutes later, Dona Patricia walked out and said "Buenas Noches" and went to her own room. Now I'm in my bed doing homework. And I'm trying not to get up. There have been so many strange looking bugs in my room today that either a. were not here before I went to Cancun, or b. they were here and I just didn't notice them. In particular, there is a cockroach that keeps crawling around. I've hit that sucker with my shoe two or three times, shrieked the same amount, and that dude is still under my bed somewhere. I don't know if I will be able to sleep knowing that homeboy could crawl out from under my bed, up the sheets, and onto my face at any given second. He better get the hell out during the night because I will not tolerate any more of him in the morning.

Find a jar or pot or something to put over the cockroach. Or name him and make him your pet.
ReplyDeleteYou could sleep with a light on. When I was in college and living in an apartment, if you came to the kitchen at night and turned on the light, they all scurried for cover. So I think they don't like the light. Also, always shake out your shoes before putting them on. :->
ReplyDeleteAlso, they tend to hang out where the food is, water too I think. So don't eat in your room, and keep it clean and dry. They'll mostly stay in the kitchen and bathroom area. Only occasional strays.
ReplyDeleteThe food and drink tip is helpful. Also make sure you kill them so they don't multiply. Maybe you should buy some spray from the supermarket.
ReplyDeleteMiss you! Love your pictures!
