Classes

Yes, I do actually go to school here. I am taking 4 classes at the Central College house with other Americans (Mexican History and Civilization, Latin American literature, Understanding Contemporary Mexico and a service   learning class) and one class at the local university, Marista (International Marketing).

Predictably, I don't exactly "blend in", per se, at Marista. Besides being very white and clearly American and having to ask "repite por favor?" (repeat, please) on a regular basis, I learned the hard way that people at Marista dress for class a little bit differently than those at Ambrose ;) My jeans and flip flops make me look like a serious bum compared to the other girls in my class who wear the highest, most elaborate heels (sometimes I literally just stare at their feet and wonder...how do you walk?) and dress up for class. Not to mention I think I may have been the only person on the whole campus carrying a backpack! haha. Fortunately, I fixed that one by day 2 and got a fair-trade bag in Progreso.
