Sad News

hey to all you out there still checking my blogspot. sorry i havent been keeping you as up to date as i should have been. but as you can imagine its been busy and things just arent open liek they used to be. or they werent until this week.
Now, i got some sad news last night from our program director. The ProWorld Staff in the USA has decided that Promexico needs to terminate its operations in Oaxaca until the conflict has subsided. Unfortunately, that is an indefinite length of time since no know can predict whats going to happen here at this opoint. This means that the group is goingt o be travelling to another part of mexico. To the beach in Puerto Escondido again, then Mexico City and then north to Guanajauto which is another colonial city much smaller than Oaxaca.
I won´t lie to anyone, i am overwhelmed with comphrending what this means for the next week with packing and preparing to say goodbye to my host family and new friends in Oaxaca. I´m so sad to think about leaving this beautiful place, even in the conflict its been good to me. a bit unpredicatble but you learn to roll with the punches, and thats an invaluable lesson its given me. It breaks my heart to leave knowing how other ppl that have to stay here are suffering. we are the last international program of our sort to leave Oaxaca. Its probable that our language school will have to close when we leave, putting friends out of work, etc. Its just terrible to see the economy dying before your eyes, and now feeling responsible for it. The decision is out of our hands though, and with the growing amount of uncertainity it might be a good idea logically. It will never feel good to us though.
We´re all looking at it on the upside that we get to see more of mexico with this adventure Together with some new and fantastic friends. The staff will be taking us around and thats liek having a good friend as a tourguide, they know what they are talking about, and they know us. what more could you ask for? it wont be the same as the program we are supposed to be doing here, but given the situation we have to be adaptable. Oh for those of you considering my academic well being, we still be getting credit for the semester since it was not our choice. it will just involve more independent study than previously planned.
anyway, thats my update for now, i will put up more information soon, bc life should start to become more normal from this point on. but in short, no worries, you can all rest easy, i will be out of Oaxaca by november 20th and far away from the conflict.

alrighty, thanks for trying to stay uptodate on my life here. more soon.
