here i was, innocently thinking that this whole SARS thing was going to blow over, and i happen to notice on yahoo that it´s totally getting out of control again. craziness!
things are much more sedate here in Autlán...we had out first rain of the season! we´ve met Cynthia, who goes to mcgill, and has been here since february. friday was the first time she saw rain since she´s been here. i can´t say i was happy to see it come, as it hasn´t been long for me and the crazy heat is still sort of a novelty, but it is a little exciting. we just happened to get caught in a bit of it on Friday night when we went out to the bush to tag bats. it turns out Cynthia helps out on this bat project, so we got to tag along on a trek out to nowhere and helped set upa mist net, catch some bats, weigh them, tag them, and let them go on their merry way. it was incredible!!! granted, i did more data recording than catching, just cuz i was the only one with *no* animal handling experience, but i think we´re going out again sometime. YAY!!!
more dancing last night...looks like our new Saturday ritual, complete with quickly enlarging posse. 2 of the new add-ons were a couple of contreversials, er, bisexuals, that J got talking to and now appear to be potential stalkers. thanks Jamie! we also got to meet Carly, who´s here doing her masters and is studying at st mary´s. she´s been here for a year and is rilly giggly n cute. Cynthia also came out with us and really needs to work on her drinking technique.... :) apparently neither have been going out much (CRAZY!!!) because Carly had a mexi bf for a while and Cynthia´s kinda quiet. guess we´ll be changing that huh? ;) everyone had a kickass time, although Cynthia´s prolly hurtin today, and i´m not sure Carly realized the guy she hooked up with is only 20 and has a kid. oops! the J-meister was gettin pervy on the dancefloor with a mexi superhottie (GO JAMIE!!!) and i think i might have broken my first heart. oh no!! don´t worry, i don´t think it´s serious, just a really sweet guy that got really disappointed when he realized i sorta had my eyes (that´s right, eyes) on someone else. sorry José!!!
k, that´s all for now, don´t forget to let me know how stuff in g-town, t-dot and elsewhere is....i´m going to the field for a couple days to investigate some honey production and i expect to come back to a full inbox!!! |
