Jarryd va a Burger King

Yes I came all the way to Monterrey, Mexico to go to Burger King. But you have no idea, this is the bombest Burger King of all time. First, the proximity, it is about 1 and a half blocks from my building where I am living. Next not only does it have free fast wireless internet, it also has plugins to charge my almost dead computer. There are tons of employees and it seems like one is always walking around to make sure I have everything I need, (I asked her to refill me on water and watch my computer while I ran to the bathroom.) And I have a hat


And a play place, but I think I'm too tall. Bummer. I got to skype with CJ, if you want to have a video conversation on skype add me jarrydwidhalm is my user name.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express for the first night in Monterrey because I didn't have a place to stay but we got that figured out today, turns out it costs only 100 USD more to stay for the rest of the month at my new place than to stay a day and a half at the hotel.

Classes start on Monday. I have 3 classes, Financial Fundamentals, Quantitative Methods, and a Management class. They are all in Spanish and each one is 4 hours long! Yikes. But no classes on Friday

My Spanish is serving me well so far, I am understanding most things and communicating well enough to get by. I am looking forward to improving and my goal is to become perfectly fluent.
