My first exams were this week. Instead of having midterms and finals, they have 3 parciales. I didn't really know what to expect. None of my professors said what the format would be, so I was a little worried. The first day, I had my international econ. test and a history presentation to give. My econ. test didn't go too well at all. First, it is a Spanish class, which makes things difficult. Second, and most important, I forgot my dictionary. The test had true/false with justification, and also graphs and written response questions. I have no idea how it went. I can drop the class if I have to, but I would rather not. My history presentation wasn't too bad. I was the first person to go, so I don't think he was expecting too much. I had my Spanish test the next day. I also had trouble with knowing what to study for this test. I think it went ok, but who knows. I should know how everything went by the end of next week.
I'm pretty excited about this weekend. Saturday I am going to Cola de Caballo (a waterfall) where you can also bungee. Its the highest bungee platform in Mexico, so it should be pretty cool. I've never done it before, so I hoping I have the nerve to try it. On Sunday, I'm going to Huasteca, which is basically like a little canyon. I'm going with my rock climbing class. It will be the first time I've climbed on real rock (so far its only been on the rock wall at TEC). The weather is supposed to be great both days, so I think it's going to be a good weekend.
