Back @ AU

Well i've been back at Acadia for a little over a month now.
and its still all sinking it, that whole mexico thing remember? its very, overwhelming. even being back at home in my 'normal' life is much more overwhelming than my time that i spent in mexico. superficially i've been fine adjusting to life here, but allowing the two worlds to combine as one and let it truly change is much more difficult.
i'll write more about this later.
I have decided recently to keep up with my blog on such issues. posting articles and school progress and other such areas of interest as they pertain to my life. i'll avoid sharing the day-to-day things like volleyball, parties and such. this is more of an exercise to keep an active learning process on adjustment and bringing mexico into my life and learnings.
I am officially an honours student by the way. BA Honours in Political Science and a minor in Spanish is my neat little degree title. All this boils down is that i'm writing a 60 page thesis on mexico. My sister laughed tonight when my answer was simply mexico, but i assure you theres more to my plan than that. I hope to explore the process of democratization in mexico as civil uprisings reflect those struggles in a traditional one party system. Clearly Oaxaca will be my main case study. i'm quite excited about it, but i'll contain myself until i speak with my advisor on tuesday. and then again until its all done over a year form now. its a daunting task thats going to take a ton of work but work it shall.
anyway, that is all for now.
cuidate mucho...
