It is much easier to change the attitude when one has friends to help out. My partner in crime here at this campus just informed me that she is making a run for it, much like how I was ready to do it last week. Her husband couldn't find work here that would help out their financial crisis that just popped up and our supervisor not being very helpful at all in scholastic matters definitely sent my friend over the edge.
Things are looking bleaker and bleaker out here in Ixtepec. With her gone who knows how things are going to work. I am not stressing anymore, just accepting that things are not going to go as smoothly here in Mexico as I had hoped. I don't know what to say. Jason asked me what my gameplan is and I have no clue. At least he is having a blast, but he deserves it. I think karma is just coming to find me.
Now the Canadian government re-iterated it's travel warning for the city of Oaxaca...not the state. Please know that I am some five to nine hours away from the capital city. Yes, I do get protests here, but only twice since I have been here, and they clear out after an hour. I have been sent a letter by the consulate and I have the emergency contact numbers on a post-it on my computer and in my phone and a return ticket should I need to get out of here fast, but it shouldn't come to that. So there is no need to worry. At least it makes for some excitement...finally.
