Alright, so it's been a week or so since I last updated, and I need to finish my Semana Santa excursions. I have had a couple of tests and homeworks that have been taking up my time, because remember, I have classes here too, it's not just play. Now this entry is about my 4th day of my break, 2nd day in the state of Guanajuato. So we started Thursday off early. We got ready and started to head out for the day when we were stopped by some stomach pains in my partner. So as she rested, I went out [View Full Entry]

So finally I get to tell you about my favorite half of my Semana Santa trip. Get ready for excitement, thrills, and long winded descriptions, that tends to be how i write when describing something exciting. So once again grab a snack or meal, favorite 2L drink, popcorn, maybe a movie or two if you get bored of reading. This Adventure starts on Wednesday, April 8, day 3 of our week trip. From Guadalajara we traveled back to the bus station early in the morning so that we could catch our 7:30 am bus to Guanajuato. We get there and load [View Full Entry]

Ahh, finally Vacation week, Semana Santa. Well to start of this blog lets go to the planning steps of this trip. So as I had started planning this trip it was originally supposed to be in Chiapas with Steve, Amy, and whoever else wanted to come. But that got changed because Amy couldn't go due to the danger in the area of southeastern Chiapas. So we [View Full Entry]

Alright so as stated before it's been a while since updating last, and this is part two of this update frenzy. I congratulate you for making it this far, but there's still more to come. Now I haven't been traveling too much up to this point but I have done a bit of journeying around Monterrey and Hanging out with friends, Mexican and Exchange, and of course studying. That's why I came here in the first place right? Wrong I came here for a different cultural experience, it just so happens that in order for me to do that and to [View Full Entry]

Alright well i haven't updated in quite a while so I've got a lot to catch up on. I'll be doing about 3 or possibly 4 posts, and later a picture gallery because my camera's being stupid. So go on grab a snack and drink because this may get a little ugly. Also, women and children may need to leave the room due to intense typing. Just kidding but seriously i'm just stalling because this is going to be long, I might have to take a nap a third of the way, two thirds, and at the end. Alright enough Lolly [View Full Entry]

Well i haven't updated in a while so here i go! So since last i've spent most of my time in Monterrey chillin, going to class and just living life. I climbed Cerro de la Silla, the symbol of Monterrey. It took the people i climbed with, and myself, a good 5.5 hours to climb up and back down again. We spent a total of about 8 hours on the mountain, counting our midway break, and our break at the very top. After Cerro school was back, and I got some tests back, the first one i got back was in [View Full Entry]

Alright everybody this is going to be my first real blog where i'll tell everything. Until now i kinda just said a few things hear and there. So, now is the full tour so far. Monterrey, Mexico, the climate: Monterrey's climate is almost perfect. During the day the temperature had gotten into the mid to high eighties with just a little bit of cloud cover. This type of weather is phenomenal, However the students on campus still wear jackets and what not. But, there's the downside of this almost perfect weather. The yesterday the high was 64°F and the low got [View Full Entry]
