I wonder if Rodrigo is going to the party tomorrow.

Whoaa

!! Did you see how close that BMW came to a bender? Goodness! They don’t make cars like that anymore. Wonder where they got their paint job done at. My sister’s husband is a painter. They live in San Fran. Ever been? Nice city. Warm. Although, lots of people. Let me tell you where there’s lots of people – Mexico City. Sheesh! Never been? If you ever do, just be aware of your surroundings. Don’t want to see you on a missing poster! It’s a good place to see a dentist. Mexican dentists don’t charge the way USA dentists do. I have a friend who went to France, had hip surgery, watched a bullfight, and flew home cheaper than he could’ve had hip surgery here!

If you want to get along with your college room mates (which is secretly the biggest fear of every college-bound grad) then you must observe these simple rules: studying before midnight constitutes a felony (there’s always some party going on, and if you have to study for real, learn to multitask); an emergency kit of edibles should be stocked under your bed at all time (massive points to the one who smuggles in an actual mini fridge and disguises it as a trunk); a clean, neat room says that you are boring and judgmental (and your room mate is here to broaden your worldviews and ensure you never fall into the dreaded rut of organization); following these few guidelines will make you (and anyone else you share these with) the golden pick for room mates and everyone will want to be just like you or have you as their friend.
