mi cumpleanos

today was my birthday... and now i'm 21! ah that's crazy. well today was pretty uneventful. woke up at 6:30 like usually, got ready, ate some fruit and went to school. we switched classrooms since we're half way done and that was kinda fun. my class is in the basement of the school now which is in the jungle... sweet.
after class jayne, mikela, brittany and emily went to a delicious place for lunch and got panninis and smoothies. then we walked to walmart to buy some oreos and peanut butter! yum! jayne and i walked back to the school cause we were bored. ate the yumminess. so good.
we decided, since it was only three, that we should just walk home too to waste some more time. so we did. but we decided to walk a different route then we usually do, just to see if we could do it. wow. bad idea. it took double as long so our feet hurt by the time we got home. we also sort of got lost for a minute which was a bit sketchy. but no worries. we found our way back and the people are so great and willing to help, especially when we look lost.
we made it back home just fine and were able to work on our homework. mucha tarea... pero esta bien! at about 6:00 our mama tica came in the room with a little chocolate cake singing happy birthday! ha ha she's the best. so since we're going to be off in some jungle on jayne's birthday, she decided to combine our birthday's tonight = lots of cake. for dinner we had spaghetti, tomatoes and beans (of course), then for she brought out the cakes! in the chocolate cake she put two candles, one for each of us, and we each got to make three wishes. lucky. so we each got a slice of chocolate cake. then out came the tres leches. so good... so much cake. then out came the jello. oh gosh. we couldn't handle it. we've been here for two weeks and have never had dessert after dinner, then in one night we get three. it was just too much. ha ha we busted up laughing and couldn't stop. amira was confused and tried asking what was so funny. but the problem was that it wasn't really that funny. we just couldn't control ourselves and literally laughed for a good fifteen minutes. jayne said she felt like trevor that one time. 'i can feel the food in my throat... it's going to come out soon.' that put me over the edge. i started crying i was laughing so hard. and after eating so much cake and stuff too, it's a wonder that neither of us threw up. ha ha we didn't end up eating the jello though cause we just couldn't, but esta bien, amira left it in the fridge for us to eat later. joy.
so today was a pretty great day.
