What A Klutz!

Hey Guys!
So I had an interesting night last night. I was meeting some friends in the central parque , and they were sitting on top of a rather high stone bench in the middle of parque, which I tried to climb while texting my housemate to ask her to turn off my curler - which turned into me falling off the bench in front of a bunch of people and doing some acrobatics with my ankle. I then made the decision to walk all over Xela and go dancing, ignoring the increasing pains in my foot area, which turned into waking up this morning and having to crawl to the kitchen to make myself some coffee because my ankle is the general size and color of a purple ballon filled with angry minitiure gnomes poking me with sharp knives. (Lets just ignore how this is probably the direct result of multiple stupid decisions.. you only live once hahah) My landlady and her mother came up to change the sheets and insisted that I go to the red cross, and get an xray, and then offered me painkillers, but after some ice and an ace bandage it is much better. Plus I have no idea how I would have gotten to the red cross, considering its a struggle to get down the stairs. Jenna came over and Jill brought me her crutches which cheered me up.
Mostly this is just making me feel ridiculous.. of all of the injuries I could obtain, an ankle injury is the most irritating considering I get everywhere here by walking. I have no idea how I am going to get to work.. the most feasible option involves an hour bus ride, the most appealling stealing a car (or finding a nice, or not so nice, not picky - boyfriend with a car haha).
In other news, I am now painting a mural at el nahaul which is exciting and should be fun to boot. I have also gotten insanely good at scaring school children in spanish. Other than that I will let you know how getting to el nahual on monday goes!
