Mexico

I am still alive. Hooray! In Acapulco at the moment which is really cool. Spent a few days in Oaxaca before this and got to Acapulco at stupid o´clock in the morning today. Spent a lot of the day at the beach attempting to get a tan and generally chilling out. It´s really hot and humid here. Prices are a bit higher than they were in Oaxaca but still, everything is far cheaper than the US.

Been staying in hostels and travelling on buses to get around Mexico. The current hostel is actually really nice and lets us have free internet access - bonus! You meet a lot of random types along the way though. In the hostel in Oaxaca, I ended up sharing a room with six other people - was a bit interesting. Here we have a room to ourselves (luck of the draw) which is cool.

leaving

On friday I leave Flagstaff, who knows if I will come back. I am going to Mexico for a fortnight with four friends, we're planning to spend a week in Acapulco then a week somewhere else that I can't pronounce. After Mexico, I am going to DC for ten days, during that time I am thinking of taking a day trip to New York (on my own though) just cos I'd really like to see it while I'm here. I then fly back to Phoenix to get my flight back to London (yeah, complicated way to do it).

It's weird that things are coming to an end here. I have a small problem with my dissertation, in that I have a bad feeling that I will get bored rigid by it. If I'm gonna muck up my degree, at least let me enjoy the dissertation and have the huge disappointment rather than let me be bored rigid and still have the huge disappointment. The end of term has stressed me out, I'm not in the best of moods. I'll update soon.
