Took a trip to Mexico

Basic is offically over, and I got through the show-off in the simulator easily. Phew! Also, the interview went well... I think... I'll find out when the article comes out, which, by the way, is in a magazine for people who work in Avinor. I'm kinda curious about the pictures he took, though. He had the lense about 30 cm from our faces, while taking the pictures in frog perspective. Oyh.

Anywho! The reason I haven't updated lately is because I've been in Cancun, Mexico <3!

Aaaaaaaaaah......

13 of us decided to go, 2 girls and 11 boys. So I guess it's kinda a boys trip. But after 2 days there, 2 of the guys told me how awesome I apparently am :D Granted, they may have been under the influence of alcohol, but my narcissism tells me they're right. It's no coincidence my nickname is MissFantastic. It doesn't matter if I came up with the name myself.

One of the perks of being this awesome, is that one of the boys let me be his wingman! Never been that before, and I loved it! Yes, I didn't really do that much. When he didn't remember the name of a girl he had been talking to, he just took me over to her.

Cut to scene:

Buddy:    Have you met my friend?
Me:         Hi, I'm Liv
Girl:        Hi, I'm <insert name>
Me:        <insert name>? Nice to meet you.

*Buddy standing behind her smiling and giving me thumbs up*


Also, I think maybe one of the girls we met on this trip doesn't like me much. First, we made her believe that I couldn't speak English, except 'yes' and 'no'. Which we had a lot of fun with. Alot. Until she found out. And one evening when we went out on the town, one of my classmates asked me if I could help him not get drunk since the same girl tried to get him drunk. So when I saw her give him a shot of something, I just walked right over there, took the shot, drank it, gave it back and walked on while I heard the word "bitch" behind me. My buddy loved me for it, though. I also switched his drink with a glass of water. But as I woke up the day after, it might not have been the best deal for me, though. I was slightly reduced.

The nightlife is awesome, btw. We pay someone 45 USD and then we get free entrance, VIP seats and an open bar. And all the places we've been to has been a great experience. But that's not all we did. We went to see one of the 7 wonders of the world! I dunno if it's the new wonders or the old, or something else, but it's a wonder. That's for sure. Chichen Itza! (Apparently, people has the tendency to say 'Chicken Pizza') The Mayan ruins!

A game of noughts-and-crosses. The crosses lost.

A fancy stone

Most of us were pretty reduced on the trip. Most likely due to the impromptu Toga party we threw at the hotel the evening before with sheets from our beds.

I also went to the market one of the days and bought myself a little trinket from the trip. Obsidian stone. The guy who sold it to me also showed me which Mayan zodiac I am, Tzec. Apparently I am of Balanced Intellect and Rejects Negativity! After a few minutes of thinking I figured 'balanced intellect must mean "you're not stupid, but you're not that smart either." Sounds about right to me.

One of the coolest things 5 of us did was that we found some kind of a pier, only it was rotten and mostly ruined. So of course we decided to walk on it to get to the shore side!

The stone building on the far side was too intriguing to pass. 

Here is also a vid I took from my iPod while walking back from the far-side:

The last day 3 of us managed to hire jetskis for half an hour. At first I thought that 30 minutes wouldn't be enough, but when I was done I could hardly grip anything due to holding on for dear life while having an awesome time! Oh. By the way, my sunglasses are now resting at the bottom of the Caribbean somewhere. While jumping on a wave I managed to knock my jaw and my sunglasses off me. Sadly, I didn't get a bruise from it to show off...

In other news, I learned that my watch is only WATERPROOF-ish...

It still works, though.

And that the control tower at Cancun airport has the best commercial on its wall:

CORONA!!!

Anywho, as you all know, I'm stuck in Los Angeles at the moment, but it's OK. We're managing. We figured it was smarter to rent a car than to use the buses or taxis all day long, so we found ourselves across the road from our hotel at a car rental place.

Cut to scene:


Classmate:    Hi, we would like to rent a car.
Clerk:            Okay, but the only ones we've got left are a small SUV and a Mustang convertible
Us:                ...... Mustang please! :D

<3

Notice my new sunglasses! They actually fit!

Until next time, Hasta luego!
