University: Third day is almost over.

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Break from school, enjoy it while it lasts.

After an exhausting start, I thought to adapt to waking up early. But the opposite has happened. This morning i just fell back into bed after i turned off my annoying alarm-clock / cell phone.

Luckily i got waken up again, so that i didn’t miss my first class - which I didn’t have by the way, because the teacher didn’t show up.

Besides the fact that I’ve gotten up early for nothing the day was pretty good so far. The reason for that is, that my Spanish lessons have started. Eventhough every beginning is hard, deep inside me I can feel that I’m learning - even if it’s slowly.

Ok, now let’s put school aside. For you momy:

The weather is really weird in Obregon. Unlike people have told me it’s not only hot - but also very humid - well in the morning.

Food, food, yes I can’t believe it by a lucky accident. Estefania and me were able to find Tofu in an Mexican supermarket. Since the day we found it first and now ( approx. a week) no one else has seemed to buy one or even touch it. Good for us, this way there is plenty for us!

Hasta luego… Thomas

University: First day’s over, second day started!

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

5 a.m. the alarm clock rings. 20 minutes later we’re downstairs eating breakfast. Again 20 minutes later we’re on the way to the bus.  Just a second later and we would have missed it, what a lucky day.

Just a felt century later we arrived in ITESCA. Not a minute too late or too early, because class should began in just two minutes more - so we hurried. But nothing, even half an hour later no teacher arrived. On my question if it was normal I just got an answer telling me: “It’s the first day, things like that happen. Don’t worry.”

Now it’s the second day and the same has happened over again, I’m slowly staring to wonder if that class even exists or if it’s was just ‘invented’ to get us out of bed early. Anyway, today I’ve learned; and used my time to wisely practice a bit my Spanish, hoping that this way my Spanish teacher won’t be to disappointed when I have my first lesson with her on Wednesday, or should I say miércoles.

 

I guess now it’s time to say something about the positive impressions I got from this school.

The computer room seems up-to-date and it doesn’t seem that there is a lack of computers either. We got a tiny but clean looking cafeteria. And the best of all is that I get everyday one hour of private Spanish lessons - What more do you want!

Best wishes and good night

Thomas
