Before one can dance, one must find the rhythm...
I've been in Salinas for 10 days now. And. I'm. Loving. It!
I made the trip with my father and we arrived at my apartment, which is much bigger I expected. As we are located on the 2nd floor, I've got super high ceilings. My room is great, rommate is cool, and I'm loving working in the after school program...finally, finalizing my sub stuff.
I am already part of the Salinas family, without even trying, I've done more social gatherings, in more places, than I did all year in Claremont. All of my friends are mexican, and they have deemed my Spanish strong enough to use Spanish to their hearts content around me....that being said, I'm getting plenty of great practice with the official language here, Spanglish. Film festivals, amazing mexican dance clubs...I love it. I feel at home, out of my comfert bubble.
I had my CalStateTEACH orientation yesterday and I start doing work for it tomorrow. Unlike my USC program, there are not live classroom discussions online, but just a very well organized website that organizes a decent work load. I do have to say that I prefer the CST website to the USC website....I'll have more to say once I really find my routine.
Random factoid: Currently loving Damages on Netflix!!!!!
