What!! Only one more week to go! I can’t believe the time has come where I will be able to count the days left on one hand. Its been such a great experience and I have nothing but awesome memories. I am ready to go home though. Like I said I miss my family and my girlfriend. We have talked a lot the past few weeks and I’m glad cuz I think that time would have been so much longer and I wouldn’t have had such a great stay if I would have been homesick the entire time.
This week went by incredably fast and i’m a little happy about that. I will miss my mexico family but the teachers here are very hard to get and understand. The reason being is that they let us do our work and expect us to be able to do great work without needing specific guidlines but we all know that in the USA the teachers tell you how many pages the paper must be how many cites what kind of cites and they also tell you the font the spacing and even the margins for crying out loud but here they tell you to do a paper and then the questions start getting asked. “How long?” “What font?” “MLA format?” things like that. The teachers honestly let you do whatever you want as long as its good work. That’s something interesting I noticed during my time here in mexico.
This week we went to San Miguel Allende for our last trip before we are done. It was such a pretty place. Like all the places, although this place seemed more like the poster place for mexico. It has horses in the streets, marichi bands playing on every corner and awesome smelling food all over. It was honestly like what people expect from mexico shoved into a little block.
The cathedral was so big and pretty and to top it all off as we were walking by there was a wedding going on and the wedding party was walking out. It made for an awesome photo op.

There was also a really great taco place that had some awesome Micheladas which are beers with flavors and chili peppers. It was pretty awesome I enjoyed it. Some people didn’t like the flavor but I think they are good. Also you can’t knock it till you try it so go out and get yourself one.

We all stayed in a hostel and there was a women who was from Sweden and she was going to school in San Miguel to learn how to make jewelry. She spoke very good spanish and I talked to her about languages around the world and how the USA is falling behind because she knows 6 languages and she was only 27 years old. I told her how I wanted to be a bilingual teacher and she was excited for me and excited for the USA that they are starting to come around in their thought process.
We came home around 1 pm on sunday and I had a six page paper to complete by monday so thats how I spent my week. Very hectic for being a such a pretty place. I have had a lot of fun and I love my mexico family they are honestly the best!!!!
