You have probably heard this already, but due to the conflicts of the developing drug war in Mexico, North Park has decided that they cannot guarantee our safety in Mexico and has terminated the program in Morelia for the rest of the semester. Cherie, our professor, told us on Thursday after we had finished our mid-term exams that we would be going home. Because the second half of the semester in Morelia is optional, it really only affected five of us as the other three were already going back this weekend. So, that night we changed our plane tickets and at Saturday at 2am our flight left Mexico. Now I am home in Iron River for a week during "Spring break" and will then go back to North Park for the second half of the semester and take Spanish classes there.
I am very disappointed that we had to return two months too soon. There were a lot of things I didn't get to do and it was a hasty goodbye, but I enjoyed the time that I was there and am glad I could at least have that experience.
I'm not really looking forward to being back at North Park already, but I'm hoping to make it fun so I don't regret so much.
Now, I still have some anecdotes forming in my mind, so read on as I continue to tell you about my adventures.
