My pros/cons list on this topic:
Pro: I have actually retained information.
Con: The information is printed from Wikipedia.
Pro: It's a huge break from an hour and forty minute lecture.
Con: Our prize is a piece of candy...or a cheer, sung by the losing team.
For instance, today we went outside and were divided into two teams of three and four. We then had about 30 slips of information on Carlos Fuentes (printed from Wikipedia!!). Our professor would ask us a question, we searched for the right slip of paper, ran to a tree, touched it, ran back, and gave her the correct answer.
Somehow, I'm not too disturbed by this, but I really should be. It's pretty ridiculous to think that that is a college class.
Anyways, I'm still loving Mexico. The weather hasn't changed too much, though it did rain for the first time this week-it was only a light sprinkle for about an hour.
My Mexican culture note: it seems as though they are very fond of triple milk cakes - we celebrated LeRon's birthday this week and on the day before at midnight, Rachel presented the first triple leche cake. Then, the following day, at his house - his family brought out the same cake. It's this very moist layered cake, which I am not a fan of.
Spring break is only two weeks away today (so excited)! I'm planning on going to Guatemala to hike in the countryside, see some volcanoes, and sleep in a tent! And, it seems like Mary will be coming along - the fourteen hour bus ride to the border will be so much better.
Speaking of trips, we're going to Oaxaca this weekend, and speaking of Oaxaca, I need to go pack.
