Hello Readers.
It's been two months since my last post which was on December 1st which was before many things happened.
December:
-We held a global village to one of our schools.
-Trip to the Mexican border where I celebrated Christmas for the first time. We started at Midnight making toasts and all in spanish. I gave the grandmother who hosted us a house gift and explained how if you stick the stick in the oil your house will smell nice in spanish and thirty people had their eyes on me. We partied from midnight till six and at six drove back to Ciudad Juarez then to El Paso where I was to catch my flight to New York. The drive was incredible--the desert was deep with green and sandy colors and jetting rocky hills in the distance. At night, you couldn't see the colors but you saw black around the flatness and stars to your left and to your right and a glowing silver moon. It was beautiful. I took many mental pictures.
Stars to your left and right.
I also made friends with a cat and the cat betrayed me after I let her in the cold house to protect her from the really cold desert night. Her name is princesa and she belongs to my friend's husband. I left her in the living room at night and heard her scratching at my door till morning and I was really scared to walk into the living room the next day because I thought the cat was waiting to scratch me. She didn't scratch me though her back was arched. Instead she spilled water on the only book of matches in the house that lights up the heater and shat on their new white couch. She also ripped the makeshift curtains but those could be replaced by more newspaper.
January:
It became 2008.
Sheniqua and I went dancing.
