Semana Santa, etc.

So I have been in Monterrey for a while now. I am getting accustomed to this new place and maybe figuring out some stuff, though certainly not everything. Classes have been going well and today is actually exam day. I am excited about going back to the church here after having missed the last couple weeks.

The reason I missed the last couple weeks was because it was Semana Santa, or Holy Week. In Mexico this is big and we had spring break. So I went back home to visit friends, family, and my girlfriend. So instead of going to church in Monterrey, I went to Harpeth Hills in Nashville.

I really enjoyed the break from the routine. I got to play ultimate again (and see how much my skills have deteriorated), I got to see Spring Sing (and I of course thought that TNT and ZP was the best; they got second, so well done), I got to eat something besides tacos (though I did get sick to my stomach), and I got to spend a lot of time with Nicole (and there was no pixelation).

The only bad part was the craziness that happened while trying to get to and from Nashville. The buses were terribly slow going, so I had to get a plane ticket in Laredo in order to make it to Houston on time. And I still missed my flight though they were able to put me on a later flight. Coming back, the bus schedule was completely different from what the company told me originally, so unfortunately I arrived an hour and a half after my first class. Oops. I did, however, go instantly into teaching after riding on the bus all night.

Anyway, looking toward the future, it seems as if I have about 4 more periods, which last four weeks each. And we have Monday off. I has been really weird starting to plan for being back in America, but also very exciting.
