So I promised a bunch of people I'd keep this short, let's see how I do...
Halloween night was Carlos' bday party so we went over around 930 in costume. Kristen was a flight attendent, Greisy a maid, Lora catwoman, and I did 80s...I was worried no one would get 80s cuz 80s here was revoultion, but they did / people thought I was supposed to be the girl from 13 going on 30...pix to follow. the party was fun, but there was a lot of people that we didn't know so we mostly just kept to ourselves...suprisingly practicing a lot of Spanish though...it was more fun when Isabel, Andrea and Luciana showed up. Max showed up too, but we're not entirely sure how he knew about the party...oooo Max
Saturday wasn't much of anything until about 530pm. I was online and Kristen was doing laundry when we get a call from Carlos (after approximately 7 missed calls). "Hi Jenn, what are you doing, I'm going to the beach, do you want to come? We're leaving in 20 minutes" me: *hysterical laughing* Carlos "that's not funny" me: "umm okay"
so we leave for the beach at like 6pm. I died laughing explaining to Albs why we were packing up and leaving at 6pm on a Saturday night. Lora and Greisy didn't feel like coming, but Kristen and I drove with Carlos and his friend Javier to their friend Caryl's house for the night where we hung out on the beach for the night and then the following day. 11 Nicas + kristen + me...SO MUCH FUN! the other girls didn't know what they were missing. Carlos knew a few from UCA and the rest from his political activisim so they all ranged in age from like 17 to 28. It was great, we've already seen a few of them walking around UCA...and any political conversation had to be had in English because Caryl's housekeepers are pro-Ortega so we got to learn a few more things about politics...
Got my historia test back yesterday...95%...better than most of the Nicas who apparently don't study? So as of now my grade in Historia is actually slightly better than my grade in Ethics (my one class in English...) Needless to say, I'm still not very worried about grades. Also, with the approaching Nicaraguan election, we haven't really been having all that much of classes...there is some sort of a protest scheduled for tomorrow afternoon so UCA has already suspended all classes and activities for the day. Yesterday they decided to make Fri-Mon a national holiday for everyone due to Sunday's elections. (We've been advised to mostly stay in our houses Sun & Mon due to election related violence) Kristen's dad is coming tomorrow and since Greisy, KVV and I only have 1 class each, we're just leaving for Ome Tepe on Thursday so we can be back and safe by Thursday...aka I had a 2 day week, followed by a 6 day "weekend"...going back to FU is going to be sooooo hard especially because I think I'm taking 6 this semester...
After lunch at Ola Verde with the girls and Daniel, Constantino and Irwing...Lora, Kristen and I picked up some snacks for our "election party"...We planned to be up all night (which wouldn't have been so bad once we found out classes were canceled) but we basically already don't have to.....lots of people already baracked the vote...omg i'm so corny. CNN says 199-78 right now and that's like not even including some sure blue states....
OBAMA / BIDEN '08!!!!!
(still gotta work on keeping it short i guess...)
p.s. Lora and I joined a gym for the last month :)

This one was shorter. Congrats!
The last entry was worth reading all the text though, sounds pretty interesting.
How did the election turn out?
sorry I never responded to this..mainly because both sides are still claiming victory..i'll be sure to write if and when there is a decision and how it was made, because that might be the most interesting part...
