Dearly Devoted Rubie

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!

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!

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

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.
