Dedicated to John Darnell III

Whats up Everybody,

So i am now starting my second 6 week session here in Queretaro. I am excited for my new classes and all the time I still get to have here. However, with the end of the first 6 week session, many of my good friends left to go back to "Grindolandia" (they seriously call the USA that here sometimes) In particular, the one I will miss the most is John Darnell III. So i am goin to dedicate this blog to "Mississippi John" in remembrance of our most comrads. He was the only student not from Oregon, but instead from Mississippi. And by Mississippi i mean REAL mississippi. Small town boy, hardcore southern accent, and a student at Ole Miss university. He was prolly one of the smartest guys I´ve ever met and also by far the best story teller. He is a ultra ultra conservative southern baptist. His humor clean (most of the time) and just really funny. He got bit by a scorpion, lost his luggage when coming here, got his sandel stuck in a drain and twisted his ankle and many other hilarious things. I told him that I would have to come down to ol´miss for a football game and he said he would come out and watch the ducks. He was the type that loved to be in the spotlight. Comfortable as I´ll get out in front of a crowd while speaking great spanish. He could get the entire group to laugh until their mouths hurt after doing president bush impersonations. I envy his confidence.


Here is me, ole miss john, and jenna doin the tourist thing in Queretaro

Classy Genuine Guy,
I hope I see him again someday.
