Living on Colombian time

We have quickly adapted to what we affectionately describe as, "Colombian time." Schedules are only loose guidelines, and we have adjusted very well. If a "scheduled" activity gets canceled or postponed, we can always use the time for something else. Our days are very full, and sometimes it's nice to have some time to catch up on the reading and writing assignments associated with our courses. This morning is one of those times. As I'm sitting down in the courtyard, I can hear students on the balcony above collaborating on a Spanish exercise, and I watch students one by one meeting with Dr.  Montoya to discuss their final projects.
