Soon To Be Leaving

Although the title of the blog is Life in Mexico I have yet to leave. I decided to set this up so everyone can see instead of sending out e-mail updates. I will be able to post photos and let you know what is going on well I am living in Mexico for a semester. I do not know how often I will be able to post but from what I understand there are cyber cafes all over the place that you can get the internet at for pretty cheap.

So on January 26 I am leaving for a new experience away living in Mexico. The only details I know right now is the date I am leaving and that we are studying at the Universidad Modelo. I will be taking classes in Spanish mainly with the Calvin professor that is traveling with us, but also one class with Mexican students at the University. I will also be living with a host family, although I have no idea who they are yet!

One thing I am very excited for is the ethnographic study that I have signed up for. It an observation in the field of study of my choice. I do not really know what this is going to entail quite yet, but I will be able to see the field of social work in a different culture than my own and hopefully better learn how to assist people of different cultures when I in turn become a social worker.

Well, until I arrive in Mexico and become acclamated, this is it for now. I will keep you posted on life in Mexico!
