Estoy en México!

Finally I'm here! All of the forms/meetings/tests etcetera were so worth it. It was 24 degrees today and I'm already thoroughly sunburnt. Things have been going great even though the majority of the activities so far have been filling out more forms and attending information sessions.
There's nothing better to show you how little of a language you know than immersing yourself in it. So far so good though. They let me enroll in Spanish courses and I don't think I've accidentally offended anyone too bad yet. Most of the people on campus are international students. The Mexican students are coming this weekend and then classes start Monday (Jan 9).
Monterrey is really beautiful and is totally surrounded by mountains. The campus is really strict though! Girls and guys dorms are separate, girls have a curfew of ten PM, you can't even wear cutoff t-shirts at the gym, and the campus is surrounded by a fence with guards at each gate!
