Adios Monterrey
I am back in Mexico City. My professors have been really supportive during the last month and have done everything they could to help me after I was robbed. Their first concern was my safety and well being. Right away they let me know that I should take off as much time as I needed to get better. Having so much support from my professors was really nice for me because at the time I was convinced that everything that had to do with Monterrey was working against me or just hands down terrible. Although I had no desire to go back to Monterrey, I got myself back to school a week ago. It was really weird and stressful being back in Monterrey and the 100+ degree weather was not helping in making my return pleasant. My first night back I was welcomed with gunshots which made me really question my decision to go back to Monterrey. Unless I had class, the weather and danger of Monterrey kept me locked in my apartment. Luckily after talking with my professors, they gave me two options: stay on campus in the dorms for free so I could be completely safe, or leave Monterrey and finish my school work online. Of course I decided to get out of Monterrey ASAP. So here I am, happily back in Mexico City with Anna and Benjamin, the best hosts in the world. IIn the few days that I have been back in Mexico City, I have rented an apartment for a month in Coyoacan for Emma and I, and been here with Anna when she found out she got into UC Berkeley.
