Apparently I Need to Update

Well, It is now about 7:15 and I am relaxing for about the first time today. I had to get up at 7:45 so that I could shower, eat, and walk to school by 10 for my probability class. All went well, and I found a new way to walk to school that cuts about 15 minutes off my time. Long story short, I walked to school, walked back home for lunch, walked back to school for my culture of mexico class and then walked home. That's a lot of damn walking for one day and my legs are tired.
Classes are going ok, mostly orientation so far, however it was kind of a shock when I realized that my teachers that are teaching in Spanish won't allow you to talk in English. This is new to me, because in the past, I could always communicate with my teachers about problems I was having in English, which makes things so much easier. Plus we have to do presentations and papers and things in Spanish which could be difficult. I am however, catching most of what they are saying, which is a good thing. The trouble is that I cannot communicate back to them as well as I can understand. Minor problem.
What else is new? Oh, I drank 4 Litres of water today, which is about 1 US gallon. I like water. It sustains me. Other than that, not much, except I enrolled in another class today. It's a Mexican cooking class. It's going to cost me $100 USD, but it's well worth it, in my opinion. Speaking of spending money, my book costs so far: $10 - Culture of Mexico, $45 - Social History of Latin America, $??? - Probability and Stats

Well, that about all that's new. I have some pictures I'm going to put up in about a second and then I'm going to write some things about Mexico that you may not know.
Scott
