UAM-X
The Wild Frogs are UAM-X's mascot, I didn't know that until recently. Last week, I went to deliver some magazines I picked up for my ex-employer and I ended up taking a freelance job. Only 4 hours a week for the rest of the trimester to build her portfolio and upload it to the net.
I have 3 weeks to finish the job starting today. First, I had to build a comprehensive database containing all the activities comprising this year's portfolio (I used FreeMind for that) and make a list according to the categories UAM established for every item, then I have to upload everything to the UAM's system, then to Conacyt.
It's not a fantastic job, but it ain't to bad either. At least I get to practice some information searching and PDF unlocking skillz

Polanco is a "nice" neighborhood in MX City, a lot of rich people live there and there a lot of corporate offices. In fact, where I work there's a large concentration of such offices and of course, people go to work wearing a suit and tie.
But Mexicanism always gets in the way of glamuor. To the sides of the corporate buildings you can see some tacos and tortas stands, where office people crowd at their respective lunch breaks. The tacos and tortas, though, are bad and expensive (I even got sick with a 1 USD taco {when there are way better tacos for half the price outside some subway stations}).
But the worst thing is to ride the bus (not even the micro, but the "nice" bus) where drivers play cumbia and reggeaton in their sound systems, making you lose the little glamour you've got left.
Wait a minute, I just remembered... being an Interlingua teacher is a very relaxed job, but not glamorous in any sense!

INTERLINGUA is a Mexican company with 40 years of experience in the teaching of the English language. Since 1969, the company has worked on developing a teaching method which combines conversation with grammar, listening, and
visual support in all levels to enable learning of the English language. INTERLINGUA has formed 500 thousand bilingual students and has certified close to 30 thousand students with the TOEIC International Certification, the
international parameter for English language abilities.
It doesn't give any benefits to its teachers and even some personnel is quiting due to the change in contract. BTW, they recently restructured the company behind in order to avoid paying certain taxes.
Well, as long as they continue to pay me

Mucha gente no me cree porque no la he visto más que en los 7-Eleven. He aquí la prueba de que la sopa Maruchan de queso SI existe. No es mi culpa que no la vendan en el OXXO ni en Soriana, les juro que es verdad!

Por si tenían la duda, el reloj floral del Parque Hundido no solo no esta ajustado al horario de verano, sino que de plano ya ni da la hora.
Les juro que es verdad!

At counseling I'm learning how to become a lazy teacher. The best thing of Interlingua method is to apply it so students get the most possible practice (and as such, one as teacher gets to work the least possible). Since yesterday, I did some drills that allow me to sit down and correct the students while they talk and talk and talk.
It's specially nice when it's the last class of the day and those drills really make it seem that I actually know what I'm doing, I'll
upload them to my teaching portfolio site

The schedule for this month at work really seems to suck, I've only got 1 class a day plus Saturdays, so my paycheck will be really thin. Or will it not?
So far this week I've substituted for 3 classes and I still have a couple more programmed, so instead of 5 hours, that's 10 (that means double pay if my math is right), so next paycheck will be saved by substitutions and programmed classes that aren't actually taught instead of actual classes.
That's a nice way to pay off for the classes I hadn't given because of my tardiness. No wonder why so many people actually love working here!

Sabias que
Mónica de la Pirámide de la Luna pregunta:
Quérido Eztigma:
¿Qué es la demagogia?
La demagogia es una forma de gobierno en la que las personas en el poder apelan a los sentimientos, miedos y otras emocionenes del pueblo para ganar su apoyo, generalmente mediante el uso de propaganda.
El diccionario de la Real Academía define a la demagogia también como la degeneración de la democracia dónde los políticos tratan de mantener el poder mediante halagos al pueblo.
