EL WERO

Things are still going well for me down here. Classes are good, but intense! Each is going to require a lot of outside work. Studying I can deal with but not so much the papers and presentations…I will grow weary of those quite quickly. For example, for my Advanced Writing class, I have a composition due every class. For me, that is a bit excessive. The teacher is a very good, and we are doing a lot with grammar…Heaven!! Thankfully, the language situation is not as hard as I had imagined. I understand what the teacher is saying. But, I don’t always understand what the teacher is asking us to do, usually because I think it is far-fetched/foolish. The teacher in me is eating this experience up; the student in me is tired of crazy assignments.
I have made some nice friends in my classes, too. They are all very helpful. In one class, I am the only male and they clap when I speak…a bit excessive, although sometimes I enjoy the encouragement.
My Mexican family calls me WERO (Whitey!) That name makes me chuckle when I hear it.
Tomorrow is Mexican's Independence Day...El Dia del Grito. I am excited about that! I doubt I go to the Grito because it is at twelve MIDNIGHT. But I will get to see the celebrations and such. Very exciting!
I hope a new post comes soon,
WHITEY.
