Hey there! So, the biggest update is that I moved. As I told you all before my family was going through a hard time and I was sort of isolated and alone, but now I am living with a new family and a girl from Delaware. It is really great, because even though I am living with another Delaware student we speak mostly in Spanish in the house and she is at a higher level of Spanish so she is able to help me. I am also just a 5 minute walk to campus and a 5 minute walk across campus, which is great because I can run home and come back when I need something and it is down a short main road with a lot of people, so I feel much safer. I will ... read more

OK, so everything is still going really well here. Yesterday, after classes, lunch, and our meeting, I went over to my friend Tony's homestay to watch the soccer game between Mexico and the United States (U.S. won 2-0!). Tony's family was amazing, they were so nice and they kept telling me "es tu casa" (it's your house). It think his family actually thought I was funny, because we laughed for like 5 hours straight. We watched the game and talked with his parents about spring break and what we were thinking about doing. Some people want to go down to the Yucatan Peninsula to spend the weekend at the beach and some want to backpack around Chiapas and to me both sound like great ideas. I am trying to decide which I would rather do, they ... read more

So I am here; I made it to Mexico and actually I am starting to get accustomed to this new world that I am in. By the way, it is freezing at night and in my house and I am not very well prepared for that. Luckily my host family gave me a small heater (which is keeping me warm right now) and three blankets and a comforter. Anyways, we got in late on the 8th of February and met our families at the school. That night I really could not see the school, because it was dark, but my host mother and sister said that it is very beautiful. I have since been to the campus in the daylight and it really is incredible. It is a real Mexican college campus (whereas in Spain we ... read more

Hey everyone! This is going to be my way of communicating with all of you while I am in Mexico, at least those of you who are interested. If you want to comment feel free, if you want to contact me privately you can get me through facebook or email me. So I am getting excited (estoy muy emocionada) to leave for Mexico. I leave this coming Sunday, February 8th, so please do not call me after that date because that will cost me (well my father) a lot of money. I will be living with a very nice family in Cholula that has a stay at home mom that likes to cook!, the dad is a librarian, there is a girl that is my age and she is into singing and music as well as ... read more
