The Language Chronicles: El Choro Lingüístico 💬

Ok. I'm beginning to blog again, after about two months of inactivity. Last time I blogged, I was in Tampico, teaching English at a high school and at a university. I was actually teaching for the language center under the Law School at the college I graduated from. My blogs will be in either Spanish or English. I'm thinking of writing one in English and then one in Spanish and continue like that. I enjoy writing in both languages, but because not all my readers know both languages, I want them to enjoy at least every other blog. --------------------- Spanish: Mis blogs serán ya sea en español o en inglés. Estoy pensando en escribir uno en inglés y otro en español y seguir así. Me gusta escribir en ambos idiomas pero porque no todos mis lectores saben ambos idiomas quiero que disfruten por lo menos uno que otro blog. ---------------------- So, a little more than two months have passed, and I am now at Georgia State University doing my Master's Degree in Applied Linguistics

As many of you might know already, I applied for a scholarship offered by UPN (Universidad Pedagógica Nacional) and GSU (Georgia State University). Well, guess what? I got accepted! So, basically, what I had to do are many things in order to get ready to go abroad and live in Atlanta for 15 whole months! Do you have any idea how much that is! Anyway. Time flies when you're having fun, and so far everything's been ok. On the 8th of August, I shipped out from Tampico and took a bus to Monterrey. I arrived there the same day at noon. Monterrey is AWESOME. That's the only thing I'm gonna say because I wouldn't be able to stop talking about it if I really got started. I stayed in Monterrey for a whole day, and then I'm supposed to take my plane here: MTY-ATL. Posted originally on August 15, 2009
