La vida en México...

How is school-life in Queretaro? It starts at 7 o´clock, the schoolbell rings like 3 times before school starts. In EVERY lesson the teacher reads every name out loud to check if all the students are present. And then we say: "¡Presente!" or "¡Aqui!" or "¡Yo!" :-) every lesson, 7 times a day, 35 times a week...If you don´t wear the right color of your school uniform, there are different colors for every day, then you have to go home and put the right shirt on. And if you´re too late, you can´t enter, you have to sit outside the classroom and wait. But my teachers, they are really relaxed and they don´t care if I don´t work, except my math teacher (of course!). Every teacher has to carry his own "tiza, Kreide"....

Oh did you know that...
1) the math teacher looks like Tom Hanks

2) the Individuo y Sociedad maestro looks like and talks like my grandfather

3) the religion teacher looks like Osama bin Laden (says Oscar) or Jesus (says Guri)

My English teacher makes a lot of mistakes like: childrens...but Thomas and I, we don´t say anything. We go once a month to church with the whole school and the boys aren´t allowed to have longer hair than 15 cm.

So how is life at home? It´s like an adventure, I never know what we are going to do. My parents tell me that we´re going to my aunts but in the end we´re shopping. They have told me a lot of times: "This weekend we´re going to the cinema." We have never been to the cinema :-) I always have to be prepared for everything! Their lifestyle is really relaxed, they like to eat, I think Mexicans have got a huge stomage, they can eat so much! And they like to sleep, my family is sleeping all the time. Helado = Ice cream, but in Mexico they call it Nieve = Snow, so the first time they asked me if I wan´t to have some Ice cream I was really confused :-) Do you want to have some snow?

Mexicans drink a lot! Tequila, Cerveza, Licor...at parties they always try to get me drunk. They dance a lot and really good, they feel the music, hehe. I was at a party yesterday (5.10.07), the party was outside and there was a little swimming pool, so all the muchachos jumped into it! With cloths! It was freezing cold, crazy people, it was really amusing. Anaid, Daniel, Guri and me went to eat tacos, the food is soooo good and cheap here! In Querétaro the stores close like at 10 o´clock, so you can go shopping and eating at night.
