I finished my last class of my longest day of the week about an hour ago, and right now I´m taking advantage of this opportunity to update the blog.
We are currently getting some pretty strong storms: thunder, lightning, lots and lots of rain...Although I haven´t looked at the weather and people aren´t really talking about it, I am guessing it is still Tropical Storm Alex passing over the Yucatán Peninsula. We have been getting a fair amount of rain off and on throughout the weekend, but nothing crazy. It´s been very warm and muggy here - just life in the tropics! I am definitely concerned, though, about what the storm will do when it hits the Gulf of Mexico and disrupts the oil spill, and I´m sure many others in the region are fearful that the effects will be devastating.
In other important Mexican news, the Mexican soccer team is officially out of the World Cup. They lost pretty badly (3-1) to Argentina yesterday. I watched the game (or most of it) and people were pretty subdued all day.
We´re keeping very busy in the English Department. This week we will be having oral presentations with all our classes and we´re working through the last unit of our course packet. It´s hard to believe there are only 3 more weeks left of classes this cuatri and July is around the corner!
Well, I should get back to work. I´ve got lots of Language Journals to give feedback on. More to come soon!
