Dancing my calves off

So this weekend was slightly crazy! Well not crazy, just...FILLED! So Friday, my friend Puja and I came up with this bet. We were talking about the movies that mad us cry and some how, Pride and Prejudice came up. I remembered the last part where Mr. Darcy kisses Kiera Knightley's character and calls her Mrs. Darcy. Puja swore this did not happen and thus a fiery bet was born! So we watched the movie Friday night and Puja fell asleep, missing the ending part! Well, end the end, lets just say she's paying my fee the next time we go to a party!
Saturday was la Fiesta del Pueblo. I went with the Spanish Club, la Tertulia, to the state grounds but I was not able to volunteer so I ended up staying the whole day! But it was sooooo much fun! We saw so many Meredith people, including Mr. Green. There was so much food, and I had...a fajita and my friend Jessica and I had a pupusa, a corn tortilla with chicken and cheese. (...I sure wish they'd put the food prices out in the open..My fajita was $10 and my lemonade was $6!!)It (the pupusa)was weird at first, but then I wanted more! AND WE HAD FUNNEL CAKESSSS! There was also this Youth Fair where they had dance lessons and competitions. We did el merengue, different types of la cumbia, (which I ...need help with!) and salsa! My friend Melissa reviewed and taught me different types of the salsa...We were in the middle of the room, non-stop dancing, but I didn't even care, it was so much fun! And there was a dance contest...Jessica was in it at first, but she left, and it was just me and Melissa at the end and we won!...which was funny to me....but anyway, I met a guy, or a man rather, named Edgar from Colombia and I think he only spoke Spanish. He asked if I was from Colombia because of my bracelet and thus our conversation started! So that was good practice...I was so happy afterwards...I probably looked like such a nerd I was so happy! At the end, they had this band come and play all of these Aventura and bachata songs and so we danced bachata until we left! Jessica brought her guy friends from State...OMG guys! Haha..not to mention the several cute guys we saw at la Fiesta!
Sunday began slowly...until 6 o'clock when I walked outside looking a hot mess not realizing so many guys would be there! Then the Ying Yang Twins/ Liquid Pleasure concert started at 7, and by my title, you should be able to understand that I had fun!
So...those were the important or...fun things from this weekend. Now I have a little bit of homework to catch up on...

...and my calves still hurt!

  1. I love Pride and Prejudice, and the end is my favorite part, so I believe you, and it makes me cry sometimes too.
