UK: Banking day

Today is holiday in UK, it's banking day. Nobody goes to work neither school. Abacus College was the only one that opened for Tec group, but it only was introductory day to meet the principal and the person who will take us to take tours. The day wasn'y sunny, it will never be as sunny as Mexico city, in fact it was rainy we
when we went away home. We went to have a hot drink in a café next to History Museum, then we took a walking tour near Oxford streets. Although we were wet, we enjoyed the tour 'cause we saw different places we hadn't seen before. They explained us how does the University of Oxford works. Then we went to two malls to buy something on sales, everything is too expensive, I guess that living here may cost 30 pounds daily.
I had a nice time with 3 girls, they're good friends, one of them goes to Santa Fe Campus too, and the other girls to CEM. We walked around the city centre to find out the best store where to buy.
When I arrived home, my room mate was in here, he was waiting for me. I bought a postcard which will be sent to Mexico, but I know that maybe I could arrive earlier than the card. My family miss me and I do too. I'm really enjoying thais wonderful trip.

UK: Second day

Having a british Sunday is one of the most enjoyable things you can have. At morning we went to the centre to meet our classmates to do something together, we decided to have an hour for shopping and then we took the touristic bus which showed us some of the most beautiful buldings of Oxford, it took an hour to hanging out in Oxford city because there is no traffic anywhere. I was upstairs the bus but cold was to critical, and wind often beat us in the face. We were freezed! When we got off the bus we went to have a meal because we were hungry and dinner is served at 7.30 in our houses, they only have two meal hours: 9 am and 7.30 pm!
We went to Westgate, a mall where you can find many sales, and there is a store that sells everything in a specific price, it's called Primax.
We walked all around the city centre and found many stores that sell souvenirs, but they all are too expensive.
When we decided to go back to home, my roome mate and I got lost and couldn't find the bus stop, and when we found it the bus left us, but it wasn't our fault, the bus driver didn't saw that we were on the stop, so we had to wait 19 minutes more.
Dinner our in UK is too important, that's the reason why they ask us if we will take the meal with them, it's the oportunity to know them better and speak with them.
It's 9.15 pm and it's still a lightly day, and it's almost time to going sleep. Tomorrow will be a hollyday here, BANKING DAY, but only Tec group will go to school: "sabes que eres Tec si hasta en verano internacional, los días festivos del país anfitrión tú, como alumno Tec, vas a clases y los demás no"
Write soon!

Fin de semestre: Ene- may 2011

Apenas el 4 de mayo terminamos el semestre, mejor dicho, mi segundo semestre en el Tec. Ya pasé un año en esa maravillosa escuela y cada vez me siento mejor yendo ahí. Disfruto mucho esta etapa, con amigos y amigas con quienes confío mucho. Las materias son fáciles de entender, hasta ahora, aunque no tuve el promedio final que deseaba, pero superé el 90, lo cual me da alegría para continuar mejor el próximo semestre. Dicen que tercer semestre es uno de los más complicados, y más en el Tec, pues vienen cosas raras, pero aun así enfrentaré eso y me demostraré que puedo hacerlo. Agradezco a todas las personas que siempre estuvieron ahí conmigo, apoyándome y siempre confiando en que puedo hacerlo mejor, pues esas personas son mi familia, maestros y gran parte a mis amigos.
Aunque tuve de todo en este semestre, mal inicio, maestras con las que no me llevaba nada bien y compañeros que siempre me apoyaron salí adelante, también poniendo de mi parte para que fuera de éxito. Me gusta ayudar a mis compañeros y tratar de siempre llevarme mejor con ellos, y poder convivir mejor. Fue un largo semestre, pero al fin, terminamos, y por ahora merecidas vacaciones, casi tres meses, los cuales utilizaré bien para mi y recuperar el tiempo que el Tec alguna vez llegó a ocupar en proyectos, tareas y de más.
Verano 2011, suena interesante, y sí, creo que lo será. Tal vez deba estar emocionado, pues qué mejor que pasar el verano en el país que siempre he querido conocer: Inglaterra. Empezará muy pronto, en una semana y espero que sea lo que me imagino...
Mucha suerte a todos los que hacen verano en el campus y mucho éxito, por lo mientras nos veremos hasta el próximo semestre, y claro, este espacio será ideal para compartir mis experiencias en Summer Oxford 2011.
