Today I had my first intercambio, which is where I talk in english for a while and then in spanish for a while with another student. I met with a Oaxacan girl at my school for a while. She is 15. And she really likes Ashley Simpson and Avril Lavigne. Needless to say we didn’t have much to talk about. I bascically spoke at her. It was fun though. I tried to talk about interesting things like G.W.B, the U.S. in general, the upcoming elections. But she knew absolutely nothing. She also said Oaxaca was really boring and she didn’t really do much on the weekend. Hmmm, very helpful. Next time I am going to ask for someone more my age. Oh and not speaking english for almost two weeks is the oddest feeling ever. I could not pronounce words in english. I kid you not. And thinking of things to say was hard.

We leave tomorrow morning at 6am for San MArtin Hualfjldsaflsad. I cant remember the name. But it will be awesome. Guarenteed.

The group is fun. I hope we start going out soon. The 15th will be awesome.
My goal for the next month is to….meet some Oaxaquenos, get drunk, not spend a lot of money, use our sleeping bags to go camping in the mountains more, in the tourist Yu’u’s. They are tourist cabins in various village around the state of Oaxaca you can cheaply rent for the weekend. And since we have three day weekends when our regular classes start….yes’m.
