I signed up for the Escolta (the people who march around with the flag) two days ago. Today, there was a presentation with some other schools, so with five other students I marched with the flag in my hand. We got really fancy uniforms which I liked cause we look sailors in the army. We didn't do awesome but it was totally worth the experience.  Here are some photos.

I haven't published anything in a week or so because one of my best friends, Josh, visited us with his mom for several days. We went to Tuxtla on Wednesday night to pick them up and then the next day he came to school with me. It was Valentine's day so everybody was partying. The breakfast didn't seem too good so we just played outside instead.  The breakfast was soon supplemented because people brought popcorn and suckers (because of the holiday) so we weren't hungry, and even if we were we didn't notice because we were watching Lord of the Rings. We didn't stay at school the whole day so we went home at like twelve and then played. That night me and Josh slept outside and somehow we slept well through bombas and dogs barking.

On Friday we took a hike to Arcotete through a lot of woods along when we got back we ordered pizza and played the card game Spoons. We also made a fort to sleep under outside and this time my sister joined us. On Saturday we went to some shops, played more spoons and ate cookies between watching Sherlock Holmes, lighting off fireworks and playing 'squeak piggy squeak'. Me and my friend Josh listened to a lot of music including 99 Luftballons (99 red balloons) which thanks to him is now my favorite song and in fact I listened to it like a hundred times while making this blog post. He had to leave really early in the morning, but we still had time to say good bye.  THANKS FOR COMING GUYS!!!!

THE BUSINESS MAN INSIDE ME

I had an idea but now I know I had a GREAT idea. My friends and I thought that it would be cool if we could make some food or sweets and sell them at school. Turns out I was really the only one who actually did it. The first day I made fifty pesos (four bucks) selling them for five pesos but it turns out that a packet of brownie mix costs fifty pesos, so our family had to stop eating some of them. The next day I sold them all so I think I got seventy-five pesos or so. I made more that night and then only had two left over, so I had made a hundred twenty seven pesos and since I had done such good business my mom and dad made me buy the brownie mix.. but so far business is good!










CUSTOMERS!!!












PACKING MERCHANDISE

This week was really fun.We didn't have soccer games on saturday so we relaxed a lot the weekend and then a little later on saturday I had my friend Canek. Also I got a ten out of ten on my panda project

but i have to start on my math project soon too. On Monday I talked to my class in the United States and they were just as I had remembered them. On Tuesday we talked about a problem our class had with the P.E. were I whispered something to my friend Ricardo and then the P.E. said to stop saying things about him and he didn't even ask what I had said and he left me homework. then something else happened to some other people so we talked to a teacher and their going to figure it out. Also it's really cool my friend josh is coming in 6 days!!! Finally, I did a art project a couple weeks ago and we made a small city all together I did the army base so here are some pictures and a video of me and my friend canek blowing of bottle rocket.
