Wow, I've learned more about Mexico and Spanish than i thought i would. Aside from the planning of the trip, calling and arranging places to stay and things to do, we've been seriously concentrating on our spanish. I guess we figure that if we were going to be in and around Mexico for almost a week, that we wont want to be seen as "los gringos" who don't speak any spanish.
So far, once we really got into the language, we have had a spanish quiz every day of class. Recently we took a spanish test including : how to say things at a restaurant, how to give directions, different verbs, and how to tell time, etc.
When spanish is not going on, the schedule is. We like to talk about what we will be doing and when and where we will be when. We have already arranged almost everywhere that we will be staying. Also, we've worked out all of the details on what service work we will be doing.
A fairly large part of most of the eighteen-day field trips is recruitment. We have planned to stop by at least two schools to present all about our trip, our class and our school. Hopefully this will get some kids interested in coming to AMS.
All in all, this trip is pretty obviously going to be amazing, and definitely an experience of a lifetime.
