The bus commute to and from the medical school seems to work fine. Routes 202 and 227 do the trick and come by every few minutes. Route 126 also works. The afternoon commute is a little more intense because the traffic is heavier and the bus drops me off on the wrong side of Avenida Morones Prieto where there’s no pedestrian bridge anywhere nearby. That means I have to sprint across several lanes of traffic moving at near freeway speeds. It’s a little dicey, but there’s a grassy median strip in the middle that actually breaks it up into two sprints, so it’s not that bad. I usually have to wait a few minutes for a gap in the traffic, so crossing Morones Prieto actually takes as long as the bus ride itself. But it still only takes me about half an hour to get home, so that's not bad. And I get a little exercise, which I need.

My transcription lecture went fine today too, or at least as well as can be expected given that I had to use someone else’s slides. It was actually kind of fun to teach, mostly because I spent so much time preparing. I’m glad I only have to teach one more lecture though (on Thursday) because I really need to spend more time on other things. I have a lot of reading I need to do to get up to speed on cancer and cancer genomics.

While I was on campus I walked over to the International Programs office and was finally able to meet with Claudia, the woman who was in charge of helping me get my visa. She gave me the contact information for the university lawyers that I need to talk to about registering my domicile with the INM, and also about changing Robin and Enid’s immigration status. They are here on tourist visas now, but they should be eligible for FM3 visas as my economic dependents. It would be nice for them to have FM3s because then they (like me) would be eligible to use the IMSS (Mexican social security) medical system for free.
