Day 1 of classes, almost done!

I had a linguistics and photography class at the Modelo today.

Also, here is a link with some photos from a trip our class took to the Cenotes!! It´s also the Calvin Blog, so there will be updates from our class there as well.

It´s really hard to make sentences in English right now.

In our linguistics class, there were a lot of students from calvin and from the Modelo - about half and half. We got paired into groups mixed of students from calvin and the modelo. While we were discussing linguistics and other very interesting topics :p, a modelo student told us that one of the hombres from Calvin was muy guapo -handsome- to the mujeres here. Then while the maestra was talking, the same girl proceeded to take out a camera from her purse and take a picture of him, and he didn´t notice. Bri and I couldn´t stop laughing. We hope we can be friends with this chica.

Photography was really hard, the professor talked really fast and ´blurry´. I am the only student from Calvin in it. I was lucky to sit by a girl who let me look at her notes every five minutes to literally fill in the blanks that I drew in with lines on my paper! I missed every ten words or so! Hopefully this will get better...

Tell me how you are doing (comment or email me or something). It´s starting to hit me that I´m very much in Mexico...and it´s very much going to be this way for quite some time. In other words, I miss you all back home already!! :)
