Dia De Los Deportes

So today I had to go to school. :( It wasn't actual classes though, which was good, and school started an hour and a half later than usual (but the bus came only an hour later than usual), so I didn't have to wake up until 6:30am. 

Today was Dia de los Deportes, basically the opening ceremonies for the sports season at our school. We have been preparing for it all week, and each course got matching jerseys. Mostly the day consisted of a parade. 

(Ok, so now it is Monday Nov. 10, this turned out to be a two day post.)

Some people got to dress up in costumes and be the class mascot, one girl got to be our beauty queen (not really sure what that was for) and we stood in like this huge line for like forever and then we walked past the parents who were sitting on the bleachers. Then we watched the rest of the other students walk by the bleachers, a lot of them did funny dances and things for the parents. Then we watched a lighted torch run by us and on to the roof to light this other torch thing on the roof. I told you it was like the Olympics. 

We ate some authentic food that the sextos cursos were selling and then Emily and I went.....yes you guessed it, to the mall. We ate ice cream and Emily bought some shoes....we ran into Adam and he followed us around, occasionally groaning about girl shopping, and then we went in search of a cheep dvd store. We didn't find any of the ones we knew about open, and after browsing yet another shoe store (Emily's idea) and then looking at this music store run by Europeans we decided to go home. 

When Emily and I got home we just slept. The whole rest of the day. And I even skipped church on Sunday to sleep some more.... apparently being in the sun all day made us really tired. And guess what? I am once again sunburned....I swear I put on sunscreen though. 

Since I slept most of the weekend,  I wonder why I am so tired today as well? Like it is only 6pm here and I am ready to fall asleep. 

So maybe I should take a nap or something. 

Chao,

P.S. Here is a brief description of the pics up there, in order. The first one is Adam as the mascot for his class, dancing in a tigger costume.  The second one is our class's beauty queen, or "madrina" which actually translates as fairy godmother or something like that, all my friend Cristina said was that it was like the blue lady in Cinderella that said bippity boppity boo. The third one is sort of a general picture of before the parade, there were random other school's marching bands there too, idk why. The last one is of me and Cristina getting ready for the parade in our classroom.
