So my time in Mexico ended and i recently drove the 32 hours back to Ithaca, NY. I'll surely miss the juicy tacos, nice people, warm weather, new friends, and interesting culture. I had a wonderful time and highly recommend a semester abroad to anyone who has the opportunity. However, I wont miss the police or the swine flu.
In the past five years in the USA I have been pulled over zero times. In the past 4 months in Mexico I was pulled over 5 times. In each occasion I told the officer that I can't give him money. In 4 of those occasion he let me go without a ticket. However, the 1 time I did receive a ticket was on my drive out of the country. I refused to pay so he decided to give me the ticket and take my license. So now I don't have a license and Mexico is too far away to go the the police station to retrieve it...I'm still working on that.
Anyhow, I'm back in the states enjoying the many activities at the Johnson School, and realizing that I'll never have to take a finals exam again.
