Personal comments
I like studying languages, and I enjoy being able to communicate with others that don´t speak my language. At the begining I was a little bit afraid of speaking during classes (making comments), but after a couple of months I got confident enough to do it, and I could make the presentation of my projects with a proper english.

Tijuana Mexico,is a good place to go for partying some clubs where Safari, Baby Rocks. Also in San Diego the downtown was really nice, there is a lot of coffes, bars, a beautiful mall with movies. My favorit coffe around school was the living room, a place also to study. Besides the concerts at the university where great. Baseball, basketball and futball games were really exciting too.
