Behind Already

Okkkkk for all the millions of people out there crying because I haven't posted anything recently (and by millions I mean the three people that are following me haha) I will do a quick update.

I certainly have done a lot of things including a bus trip down to some place/and the town of tequila for a factory tour, eat some street food, OH celebrate the day of the three kings by cutting the sweet bread and getting the baby jesus even though there were 5 baby jesus' in that thing, listen to mariachi (that actually was the first day during orientation), etc.







School started on Monday. I am going to have to switch around my schedule, and it's really frustrating trying to match up classes here to classes back home to get credit. Also, so many people speak english that it is hard to speak spanish all day...but at the same time one day of spanish classes yesterday left me so tired!

I signed up for a Mexican cooking class, and the first class is today. So yes.

Love to everyone back home, and I hope all of you Boone people are staying warm!

Here

I am here.
Things:
-the Tec de Monterrey is so pretty with trees and fountains and huge modern buildings everywhere
-I can finally attest that it is easier in other countries to find/have transportation than in the States.
-Still adjusting to the food....this is going to be hard. I never thought that the first food I would miss from back home is a bagle, but it is!
-I have a very nice host family (a very young and easy going couple) no kids but the woman is 2 months pregsauce.
-Guadalajara is like the tec campus...very modern and definitely a city, but also very green with a beautiful mix of old and new. This old and new blends more together though than Prague did. We've already gone out some and walked all over downtown Guadalajara today (and by all over I mean 4 hours worth


Everyone here is really nice, and it's a lot easier to understand people than I thought which is good I guess. Wellllll that is it for now I really don't like writing blogs so I don't know how long this will last ha. Love to everyone back home!
