Wow! I had no idea that life in Mexico could be so stressful. Heck, I didn't even know stress was a known concept here. We had to give our presentations today. Now, I'm pretty decent with one-on-one Spanish conversation. However, if you add giving a presentation to 30 other people, things get a bit complicated. I stumbled across a few words and I'm sure I was incomprehensible for a few points. However, compared to many others in our class, I think I did pretty well.
One girl's presentation went something like this:
"Like, voy a hablar sobre ummm the Aztecas. Ellos fue like un gran pueblo and un like powerhouse as well."
I'm proud to say that my part was ENTIRELY in Spanish. Thank you, very much.
So, Queta is out on the town today. She had tons of work to do interviewing people and writing stories for the next edition of her newspaper. On her way home, she is picking up a new exchange student from a different program. It will be nice to have another student here in the house. She is leaving the same day as us, so we will have a friend for the duration. We're hoping we get to introduce her to Bagel Cafetin this evening.
So, that's the news and notes from El Bajio (another name for Guanajuato). I know, nothing too exciting. Just school work and a new student. We're heading to Valenciana and the mummy museum tomorrow, so I will have some exciting news for you soon.
See ya! Que tengan un buen fin de semana. And, no, I'm not translating.

"El Bajio" is the term used for guanajuato and the other states surrounding GTO: Michoacan, Jalisco, Queretaro, etc.
I stand corrected. Gracias, Yuli! Cuando vas a estar aqui? Ya estas?
