Rules in Mexico

Rule #1: Dont hurry

Mexicans are on their own time schedule (natalie and lori yall would love it here). You say I will see you there at 3:30, they mean 3:45 to 4ish...It is so relaxed but everything does get done eventually. We went to dinner tonight and we sat ont his roof top bar and grill. We had fish and shrinp tacos and the strongest margaritas imaginable. There is no fast dining. Meals take atleast an hour or two. The give you menues and then they wait atleast 15minutes to take you order. You eat chips and salsa for another 30minutes before food arrives. You eat and drink for awhile and then you check will come an hour later. I LOVE THIS!!! Eating has now become an event and not something you have to do to stay alive. If Mexicans do something they are going to make it memorable...its so nice

Rule #2: Dont worry

Mexicans have a way of relaxing. Nothing gets them upset or worried. They just adapt. Today, the secretary of education for mexico stated that all spanish teachers would attend a conference next week. So this means school is being pushed back a week so...that means I get ANOTHER WEEK OFF!!! and i get paid... School still ends at the same time next summer we just dont have to work one week. I love being an english and science teacher. Also, if I havent stated before I only teach 2 classes a day. One 50min english class and one 1hr and 30min class of science. I am done every day by 11...I have the most aamazing schedule. I am blessed.
