Mi Viejo a Puerto Rico!

Si mi amigos...estoy en Puerto Rico on a graduate recruitment trip! and NO, this trip is not all fun and games. I have come in contact with interested students who know more about the program and school than some students I met at schools in the states! This trip has been so successful as far as meeting good master's and doctoral candidates. Several times this year when I have visited schools, there may have only been a few students that would come visit GSE's table, without me first harrassing them; however, I have not had to do much harrassing here. Most of the time I have teamed up with Teacher's College and we have presented the students with two wonderful options as far as graduate degrees in education. And please do NOT think that this is a relaxed vacation and I'm at one school for a few hours, then back to the hotel and the streets of San Juan for fun and games...ese viego es trabajo! The first day we (all the recruiters) were gone from 7am to 7pm! Hay dios mi! Today was not as bad, we only had onew school, which was close to the hotel, but the humid heat made up for the hours of work that we didnt have today...

Now to the fun part...These people like to party! Dancing, shopping, eating, drinking, etc. After visiting the school, I joined a few of the other recruiters, one who is from the island and others who have been here before, to tour Old San Juan. Old San Juan is the historical (and party) part of San Juan. It was a very beautiful place...walking those streets were a workout too...

Well, let me get back to the fiesta, then off to bed for another day of meeting students! Adios mi gente!
