Oh, God. One of my advisors has agreed to meet with me in person when I go to Mexico City.
This is good good good, but my (self-diagnosed) social anxiety disorder is going "GAAAH!"
I need a lobotomy to get rid of the gringa accent I have when I speak Spanish... STAT!

Un cambio de lengua
Consigio la carta para mi advisor, Marina, oficialmente pidiendole ayuda departe de mi escuela para mi proyecto.
No he oido noticias de mis dos advisores, pero es temprano todavia, y voy a esperar hasta el viernes para preocupar.
Las fechas para mi viaje se acercan rapidamente y estoy bien emocionada, pero tengo que tomar la decision sobre que voy a llevar... claro que quiero vacaciones, pero como que no tiene internet en la casa de mi suegra, supongo que voy a tener mucho tiempo libre y sin distracaciones. Por eso, quiero llevar un sketchbook y cosas para dibujar mis carteles. La cuestion es si quiero llevar las cosas pesadas, como mi laptop y mi libro sobre diseno grafico en Mexico. Estoy con la idea de comprar otra copia y regalarlo a mi profe Natalia.
Estoy tan emocionada dejar el frio y lluvia detras para todo el sol y calor de Mexico :D

A few emails sent
Just shot off a couple of emails to my advisors, letting them know about the new dates for 11th week reviews, and that I would be in Mexico City the week after next, and if they wanted to meet with me then in person.
It's terribly intimidating but somehow being awkward in person seems much better than being horribly awkward and silly over the internet. I think I'm just better at hiding my awkward personality in person.
Also, I had zero edits to my email draft that I had my husband look over. My Spanish must be acceptable enough! Using it this past semester has made me get better again. :)

An unexpected change
Aaaaand.. 11th week reviews just got pushed back a week? To the first week of April? While I'm sure everyone will be happy to have another week to work, I am wondering if this throws a wrench in my advisor's plans, since I've already informed them that it would be the last week of March.

A mini meeting
So.
Got Natalia's approval for the poster ideas, and can move forward with that. Yay.
Also discussed the 30 second spot that she wanted me to do, and she's not budging. Have to do it. I was hoping to swap it out for some sort of packaging take-away, since I'm much more interested in packaging, but now she wants me to do both. Ha!
Was thinking of doing cute little teeny jars of my homemade green salsa, that is deeleshous.
Still waiting on Natalia to do my formal letter for my advisor, asking for her help with my project. I hope I don't have to nag her too much to get it done, but I bet I will. :3

An interview
I should set up skype dates with my advisors but I'm soooo terrified of looking stupid, either with my spanish or just in general with what I say. Oooooh, social awkwardness.
