From the Coast

I hope that everyone has had a good spring break. I've been on mine for about two weeks in Tuxpan visiting Miguel and his family. I head back to Guanajuato this Sunday night which I'm kind of bummed about since break went by so fast. I think the hardest thing will be going back to classes on Monday to finish out the semester.

Since I've been here, I've been to the beach a few times which has been amazing. There's nothing like spending an afternoon next to the gulf, drinking some beer, throwing the football around, and playing some beach volleyball. Last week was actually the official semana santa of Mexico, so the beach and clubs were pretty packed last weekend. Regardless, we went out a few times last week with some friends and had a good time. Other than hanging out with Miguel's friends, I've been spending some time with his family while he's at work. Everyone is so nice and my spanish has gotten a lot better from practicing so much with them.

Other than being on spring break, everything has been going well. I'm in the process of looking for a job/internship this summer which is kind of difficult while being out of the country, but I guess we'll see how things turn out. Homework still continues and I feel that I'm going to have a bunch of projects and papers waiting when I get back to Guanajuato. I also have to be picking out classes for next semester depending on how my credits here transfer. Figuring all this out is getting me kind of anxious to come back home, but at the same time I think it's going to be a difficult transition back to my life there and I know that I'm going to miss Mexico so much when it's time to leave. Anyway, that's about all I can think of for now...hope everyone is doing well at home & I can't wait to see you all in a few months! Saludos!
