Welcome to my Blog!

Hello friends and family!

As you know, I am going to be in Cuernavaca, Mexico from January 13, 2009 - March 13, 2009. I have decided to keep a blog going while I am there so I can share pictures, stories, and my experiences with you.

I will be going to Spanish School at the Universidad International. Their website is http://www.spanishschool.uninter.edu.mx/. The motto for the school is "Learn, Live, and Love the Spanish language withMexican passion!

While I am in Cuernavaca I will also be a "live reporter" for the Sourcing and Capstone classes in the TAM department at the University of Missouri - Columbia. This means that I will be working closely with Cotton Inc. helping to develop an educational video on the cotton industry in Mexico. I will be interviewing people at factories, talking to local vendors, and finding out how cotton fits into the culture of Mexico.

I leave in 8 weeks and couldn't be less prepared or more excited! :o) First mission: Graduate from undergrad at Mizzou!! (Hopefully coming to you December 20, 2008)
