Classes--muy bien

History class in Cuernavaca with Antonio could not have went better. We challenged the "norms" of the US so much and really devled into things are the way they are today---what are their "raices"...
US intervencionism took a large part in that theme.
So many speakers came and enlightened the group incredibly on the effects of NAFTA, the roots of immigration, the benefits of listening, effects of patriarchy and privilege, 1st and 3rd worlds, etcccc...

Spanish class with Rosalba from Universal was also a beautiful experience. The three hours with my "sisters" Marie and Cass went by fast enough every day. We definitely got some good learning..and laughs.. in.

Final presentations for both classes ended up going GREAT.
I did both of my presentations on the landfill the government wants to put in Cuernavaca. Al final, I personally (along with the majority of Cuernavaca) have decided that it would be INCREDIBLY detrimental if they were to put that landfill in Loma Mejia. The landfill does not complete 32--32-- NORMS. Even more NONE of the landfills in the state of Mexico complete all of the NORMS that are technically supposed to be completed.

Anda.
Out with the idea of the relleno sanitario in Loma Mejia.
