The purpose of this blog is to contain assignments for SMU-in-Oaxaca while at the same time sharing the experience with whomever asks. Its not as personal as my actual blog, but uhm - that's okay. :)
This winter break (2008-2009), I decided to take a study abroad trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. It was one of the best decisions I've made in my college career. During the trip, the professor assigned journal entries and I interviewed several people so here's where you can find them. :)

FAQ:
Did you make new friends?
Yeah! I made both new SMU friends and friends in Mexico I still talk to!
Did you try the coffee?
I never thought I'd ever actually order a coffee at a restaurant, but Mexican coffee is so sweet.
What was class like?
There was no classroom! Every morning, we get in a bus and go! We'd go to ruin sites, nature hikes, natural wonders, museums, artists' houses, and more!
Did you learn Spanish?
I already knew a bit of Spanish and brushed up before the trip, but going to Mexico definitely helped me and to speak less textbook-y. And I can listen to spanish so much easier now.
