For those of you who don´t know....I came to Mexico as part of an internship program. This is something completely new for the university, so it has been a little rough to begin with. I will be teaching English to a group of professors here and taking a class of some sort to meet other students. I have also been given the opportunity to work at a company in Mazatlan, Ingles sin Barreras. They design multi-media software to help people learn English. I will work with the support "instructors" who answer questions from students who call in and eventually work with the students who call in themselves. It is very important to learn English in Mexico; it can determine the type of job that you can get and the better jobs require some level of English. I have been given a few examples of people who didn´t get the job the wanted or didn`t get as good of a job because their English skills were lacking.

Cute story of the day: I went to visit a group of junior high students. Adriana, my new host, teaches there as well as the university, and her class was asking me questions. One of the questions was "What does snow feel like?" I wasn`t sure how to answer her - I`d never thought about it before.
