MexEx 2006

Welcome to the CAS MexEx blog! We thirteen Berkeley High students and four fantastic teachers are in Morelia, Michoacán for three weeks, studying Spanish and learning how to be true media activists. We are working with ten Mexican students to create videos about various social issues, including the national elections on July 2. Please check this site daily for new updates.

Galnadgee

Hey wassup, The trip has been going fine for me. My family here is hell of dope, the house is pretty big, I have my own bathroom and I am learning a few Spanish words everyday. Every morning I wake up at about eight, make my bed, clean my room a lil and head out to school. The CCL school is pretty dope. The two teachers are ill and we are learning A LOT everyday. Everything about the school is tight, the teachers, the people, the girls, the classrooms, the girls….. yeeeeeaaah basically I fell in love with this trip. I wasn’t really feeling it at first, but now I seriously don’t wanna go back, haha… the videos that we are making are looking good. I cant wait to finally finish it, it is a lot of work, and sooo hard to do, but hopefully it all comes out good. The Mexican students that we are working with are hell of cool. They teach me how to say certain things in Spanish, and I teach them some English, and the people that I am working with are hell of cool. We have like one more week down here which is whack because I have a feeling I will miss the Mexican students hella much. I try my hardest to speak to them, sometimes successful, sometimes not, but this trip is deffinately tha illest thing I did all year and I would totally be down to do something like this again. Word up, on that note, peaceit….
