muy nerviosa...

Tomorrow I leave the Casa and move in with my family. I am getting really excited and really nervous. I wish we had more time with them instead of just 4 weeks but whatevs...

This week here at the casa has been good. We went out for Margarita's in el centro last night and yesterday we had a diologue with some students from the university here in Nogales and only spoke spanish, so that was good. We did this game where it was the Mexican students in a circle on the inside and the American students on the outside and we had to talk only in spanish with each other. I was surprized on how well I did. They understood me. :) For the most part...

Today we went to go see a womens jail. Most of the women there are there because of drugs or undocumented migration. It was really interesting. It is basically run by the inmates. The women there built a church together, some work as seamstresses, others work as cooks, some learn computer skills and english.. there is a lot of stuff they can do and learn so they can get jobs when they get out.

Well, I need to write a paper so I can get some sleep for tomorrow... the big day.. eek! Until next time friends...
