Thriller! (recap)

My last day in Mexico before flying back to Washington in time for Erin and Fred's wedding was a bit of a blur, but I remember the highlights going something like this:

  • Wake up early. Gotta get ready for the kindergarten graduation ceremony at church.
  • From church, head to the award ceremony and graduation.
  • After the ceremony, I managed to lock myself in an air-tight, cement bathroom, without any vent or window... after working up quite the sweat, banging on the door for 20 minutes, some random guy unlocked it from the outside.
  • The glories of my bathroom liberation were short lived when I immediately dropped my sweater in the huge puddle of Coke someone conveniently spilled on the floor.
  • Snacked on cookies and swatted at mosquitoes for an hour waiting for our "supposed" meeting.
  • Walked home for a 30 minute nap before our teacher's banquet.
  • Teacher's banquet= Ridiculous amounts of amazing food, and karaoke entertainment (the school hired a professional karaoke group called "Excalibur", hahaha).
  • Bought my bus ticket to Guadalajara.
  • Tortas for "second dinner" with Melissa.
  • Waste time on Facebook, and gmail, and Facebook, and youtube, and Facebook.... I hate packing!!
  • Okay, fine: Pack my bag.
  • Sleep for 3 hours.
  • Drink 3 cups of coffee.
  • Jump on the 6am bus to Guadalajara.
  • Taxi to the airport.
  • Take off!
But a picture's worth a million words.... so a movie must be worth a billion. Here's an accurate depiction of my day, as so brilliantly foreshadowed by the 5th graders at the graduation ceremony:
