Back To School And Settling In
2 minute read
I’ve walked around CDMX more. I checked out Polanco, and I’m glad I did – I didn’t like it either. It’s nice (very expensive – yes even with the currency conversion), but not really immersive since there’s more expats there. If I took classes there, I would have missed out on the cool culture events the university does (e.g. biweekly salsa, celebrations, workshops, etc.). The streets look nice yet sterile and hardly anyone was walking around. Finished registration today and moving to my permanent housing later this week. I’m a full-blown student with all the benefits; classes are 20hr/wk Spanish + 4hr/wk salsa classes.
Next Mission: move to next housing and start classes on Thursday
Actions
- Got my metro card and rode the metrotren… metrobus kept going past me at the bus stop. Probably because I’m white and don’t look like I should use the bus LOL
- Worked out at a calisthenics park near me (I also have gym access on campus)
- Walked 8+ mi around Polanco until my feet and head hurt
- Had first weekly accountability meeting with a best friend… we’re pushing each other weekly to meet goals we set together
- Finished class registration – tested into level 4 of 8 total. Taking Spanish level 4, grammar, and salsa for my subjects
- Booked and paid for my permanent housing for the next 2 months
- Many dating matches (thank Jeebus I’m exotic down here), but logistics won’t be good until I move. I’ll pitch some dates anyway… I wanna see more of the city and take some chicas on some dates
