One Week Left

and im pretty sad about it! i wish i had not been an idiot and added two weeks to my trip to travel but i guess ill just have to come back. im toying with the idea of taking off thursday and friday and saturday to travel to an island, ometepe, which is about 4 hours from here. we'll have to see..
movie woman is being a flake so that will probably not happen. things never happen on schedule here.
it has been a busy few weeks..went to masaya again for shopping and bought a hammock, wtf? i am too tired to blog, this is hard work. i might have a job though next semester! thats exciting..
i cant wait to get home, although i am going to miss nicaragua. but still, im looking forward to seeing everyone again and having partytimes.
okay recaps...last night, we all went out to say goodbye to the many people who left this morning. all alone again, but i like it this way sometimes. the night before was ridiculous! on friday we went to mi tierra, a club around here and went dancing. a FABULOUS gay man, juan, was tearing up the dance floor with his crazy ass salsa moves then grabbed me to dance with him and i was horrified because i cannot dance like that. i told him that right off the bat. but the man is a dance teacher apparently and i think i am going to take classes from him because he was throwing me around all about on the dance floor, finishing off our dance by lifting me up on his shoulder and spinning around. it was amazing. i wish i had pictures.
otherwise, things have been relatively calm. havent travelled much, just going to visit the courts with ixchen. we went in to sit in the audience on two rape trials. the first one on wednesday never happened because the defendent didnt show because he didnt have enough gas in his car...? so typical in this country. the one on friday was pretty a really interesting case, though it lasted forever and i had to leave early so im not sure how it turned out. ill find out tomorrow. the case was against the brother-in-law of a 19-year-old girl, and get this, her sister (his wife) was siding with him, the rapist! the defense was so shaky and their witnesses all seemed like crap so i will be surprised if they win. it was a great opportunity to go see the trial and i appreciate my organization for that.
see you all soon.
