Expectations

My expectations far exceed the landscape being beautiful, the cities being interesting, friendships with fellow classmates growing, and my knowledge of the Hispanic culture and the Spanish language improving. I'm going to take this trip with and academic motive, and also utilize it for its artistic inspiration. I am an art major, so naturally, during my spare time I will be taking advantage of the experience and working on some of my most significant artwork to dat. I am anxious to allow my creativity a chance to escape and grab this experience to create something I can relish. 

Stereotypes

I have encountered numerous stereotypes of Mexico and Mexicans throughout my lifetime. Most, of which, are not necessarily good, or true, but definitely notable. The first need to be stated: Mexicans can drink you under the table. This is more than likely very true, but can also definitely be considered a stereotype. Other stereotypes are that Mexicans are dirty and all they do is work. Please do not get the idea that these are my thoughts, I am simply reciting some common stereotpyes that can be learned largely through the media and other unreliable sources.
