Newly Discovered Things!

Right now, the entire family is pretty much here and we just got done having an excellent meal. This morning I went to my tutor sessions, followed by my daily stop at Starbucks for a cup of tea. Last night was really fun. Viviana took me to a less busy side of town and handed me the keys and told me to drive. She has a tiny little car, they call it huevo (egg)...and it looks just like one. It´s a stickshift and those of you who have seen me drive one....it´s not exactly pretty. But I faced my fears and managed in the crazy jungle the mexicans call streets. haha!

Katie and I had a pretty deep conversation the other day about life and what we are doing and it really hasn´t esacped my thoughts. Today, I stumbled upon two programs that I am thinking about doing. The first is in Costa Rica, and it is a TEFL Certification course that starts April 30th and goes to May 23rd. Here es a couple links in case you want to check it out:

The second program I stumbled on to is an internship / MBA program in London, with an emphasis in International Business. The application is do in a week, so I´m not sure if it is practical, but I think I´m going to try and get a application postmarked. At least so I can have the option. I´ve got some big decisions to make: Law School, this program, new city, Kansas City, etc. All while trying to maintain cohesiveness with the chica who resides on Fairview....I fear its going to be a challenge. Nonetheless....one i´m up for. The link for the MBA program is:

I would love any input any of you have. Right now I´m still waiting to here back from UMKC School of Law, as well as University of South Carolina. I´m in at Creighton University and Florida Coastal School of Law. However, University of Denver did not give the nod. Too bad!

I only lack 10 or so pages of ¨Three Cups of Tea.¨ Most likely gonna finish that here in little bit. Going to Zopaparia (Shoe Store) with Viviana around 6 tonight. It´s my payment for the driving lessons yesterday. Haha! She wants some help picking some out. Not sure how much help I´ll be.

Although my time here in Guadalajara has been great, I´m super excited to head to Cancun on Saturday. I´ve been dreaming in Spanish and it will be nice to be with some English speakers. I´ve decided to wait until the 18th to do my Open Water Certification (the day everyone leaves Cancun). That way I don´t waste any time while Katie is there. So I´ll probably spend 2 extra days in Cancun, then head to Cozumel for a couple of days. Do some diving, and then off to Belize. I think my dad is going to try and come down sometime at the beginning of April. We´re plannig on renting a car and driving to Guatamala! Should be fun!

Sorry for the lack of pictures!

  1. Hi little brother. Sorry I haven't been great about communication lately. I'll write more later. I'm with Lynsy and we're in Plato, Mo., and then headed to Memphis for part of my spring break. My advice....follow your gut. If it says law school....head there. Be careful not to confuse the gut with the heart or the head. sometimes that is hard. More later Bro...i love you! -J
