A New Life

Campus at Tec.
Today was the first day at the Mexican university, from now on referred to as Tec.
It was tough waking up this morning; not only because it was the first day back "in school" after the vacation, but also because Mr. Dan left this morning at 4 a.m.
It was difficult having him leave; right now I need him a bit more than usually and I know that he feels that he wants to be close(er) to me.
Right now that is not an option, so I will, patiently, have to wait until mid September to be able to spend some time with him again.
It has been decided that we will try to meet up about once a month, either somewhere in the States or here in Mexico, we both think that there's no way not to do it any other way.

Carefully listening
Anywho, so today we had our introduction day, listening to university employees thinking they're funny although they are the complete opposite.
Also in Mexico, they believe that it is totally appropriate to keep students in an auditorium from 9.30 a.m until 1 p.m without a break the first day of the semester.
Swedish students as we are we took breaks in order to make it through.
We were very innovative when coming up with reasons to leave the room; bathroom break, smoking break (Patrick), "accompagnement" (company) of smoker on his break, phone calls, a walk in the sun, relaxing in the sun, more bathroom breaks... we kept busy.
Playing around on campus

The campus here is nice, palm trees, a lot of sports facilities (which I couldn't care less about), A POOL (!, although it can only be used to swim in, not to lay on an air mattress and enjoy the warm weather),(you also need to wear a swim-cap if you have long hair) = I will not be going to the pool!

Other things that have kept me occupied today.
* Two trips to the supermarket
* A visit at the drugstore
* Left the tomato stained dress at the dry cleaners
* Took a long, fast walk in the sun
* Met up with Edgar

Now I will sleep, because I am exhausted.

Bisous
