you give-a me fever!!

Hello all!
Whew! Much has transpired since the last time I had time to write a post. Mostly good. Last week was notable for two main reasons: one, I got really sick with a cough. Two, I fell in love. Haha, not entirely unrelated events. I met my new girlfriend Milena in a bowling arena, of all places. She studies English and Spanish lit at the UPTC, she lived in Cincinatti for two years, and we just really felt a strong connection from the beginning (she´s the one in the middle of the picture below). Several poems have already been created by both of us. Unfortunately, things like that lead one to irrational actions such as drinking and talking for hours in the cold of a Tunja night. But I´m finally getting better. The cough is still strong, but now I´m all congested, so that shows I´m progressing, haha.
What else? Not too much. The band played our first concert in front of the freshman class of the university, as the second picture shows. It actually went really great. I sang two songs: a bluegrass song called ¨the Cookoo¨and ¨How far is Heaven¨by Los Lonely Boys. We´ve got more shows coming up soon. Things are really busy in classes. We already are preparing for midterm exams- I can´t believe it! This weekend several English teacher friends came from Bogotá and slept in my apartment. We went to the big salsa concert for the festival on Saturday night and danced in the light rain in the stadium, and the next day we went to Villa de Leyva to a farm with huge waterfalls that we really nice to wade into. So, good times. Busy, and of course every scrap of spare time is now generally spent with Milena. You forget how much time a relationship takes up! But obviously time very well spent.
So that´s all for now. Off to grade exams. Talk to yall soon!
