I started out this week with my History of Art exam. The exam was oral, so the professor had to talk with each student individually and it took forever. I was in the middle of the group and had to wait almost four hours. It was really easy though and I got an 8 (A-) in the class, so I was really happy about that.
The rest of the week has just been packing, hanging out with friends, saying goodbyes and preparing myself to come home. I'm really excited to come home, but I'm a little nervous. I'm definitely not excited for the whole 18 hours of travel. I hate flying and airports, and I'm going to have to lug around my two almost 50lb suitcases, my backpack and a messenger bag.
It's definitely going to be really different once I get home. I've developed a routine here. I have certain restaurants I go to, I have certain brands that I prefer when I go buy something at the supermarket, and I can either walk everywhere or take the bus. After tomorrow, that's all gone. I will have to re-adjust to the US, driving everywhere, being able to speak in English everywhere, and things like going to restaurants and supermarkets are going to feel completely strange for a while.
Studying abroad has been an incredible experience. I met some wonderful people, I learned a ton about Spanish and about myself, and overall, I'm very happy with my experience here. At this point, I'm not sure that I'll miss the city itself, because the big city is definitely not the place for me, but I will miss the friends I've made here. Luckily three of my friends here go to my CMU with me.
I fly out tomorrow night at 9pm and should arrive in TC around 3pm on Sunday. I will do a quick update when I get back! Thanks for reading this for six months! Chau!

Week 23
Not a very exciting week due to studying for exams, but I got to get out and do a few things.
I spent all day Sunday studying psychology with my friend Travis and it paid off! I took my exam on Monday morning and got a 9 (which is equivalent to an A in US grading)! I was very excited! Afterwards, I went to China Town with Travis and Mora (our friend from our psychology class) to get churros and donuts at this place that our friend Janell had showed us a while ago. It's really good, but becoming a bit of a problem as it's cheap and easy to get to! :-p
Tuesday was pretty boring with nothing but studying.
Wednesday I met up with Travis, Emily and Mora to get Chinese for lunch, followed by more studying afterwards.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 came out on Thursday here (a day earlier than in the US), so I went to that with Travis and Karen. It was an incredible movie, and while I would have liked to go to the midnight premiere with my friends in the states, it was a fun time.
I dedicated most of Friday to studying and on Saturday, I met up with Emily and Travis to see the Casa Rosada (Pink House), which is the governmental building in Argentina. We didn't end up doing a guided visit, because the line was really long and it was a nice day, so after seeing the parts we were able to see without a guide, we headed over to the fería in Recoleta since this is the last Saturday that we can go. We shopped for a while there and enjoyed the sunshine.
And now we have one week left! After my exam on Monday, I have to start packing and get ready to go back to the states!

Week 22
On Sunday I decided to check out the Museo Evita, which is a museum dedicated to Eva Perón. She was first lady to Juan Perón and was very politically involved. She is very controversial here. People either love her and worship her as a saint or they absolutely hate her. It was very interesting to learn a little more about her and to see a different side of things since I had learned a few things about her in my classes this last semester.
On Monday, I met up with my friends Emily and Travis to go to the Museo Casa de Carlos Gardel (Carlos Gardel-House Museum). Carlos Gardel is probably the most well known tango singer in Argentina. The museum was small, but was still interesting. After the museum we went to a big mall in the area. It was enormous! There was a kid's area with amusement park rides and it was crazy. We didn't stay long as we didn't intend to buy anything, but it was still cool!
Tuesday I met up with Travis to study a little bit for our psychology exam that we have on Monday. After a few hours of studying, we went to get Chinese food in Barrio Chino and then we went to a churrería (a place that specializes in churros), to get donuts filled with dulce de leche. So good.
Wednesday was a pretty boring day with just a bit of studying.
Thursday I met up with Travis and Emily to go to Plaza de Mayo downtown to see Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo. Every Thursday at 3:30 p.m. a group of mothers and grandmothers meet up in Plaza de Mayo to remember their lost children. During the dictatorship in the 1970s, many children were kidnapped and either killed or adopted. They call them the desaparecidos (disappeared). The mothers used to meet up in hopes of finding their children. We also stopped at the cathedral downtown where Saint Martin is buried.
Friday I had to study all day for my Psychology exam and Saturday I went to a few ferias with my friend Travis since time is running out to get gifts and souvenirs!
*I will try to put some pictures up once my friends post them. Not only is my camera screen broken, but all of the pictures I took last week didn't turn out, because the lens cover won't open all the way unless I manually do it.*
2 weeks left! Crazy, but I am ready to go home.

Week 21
Sunday was a pretty calm day. I met up with my friend Travis to go to la Fería de Mataderos about an hour away from where we live. It turned out that his host family and one of the students that he lives with decided to go as well, so we met up with them at the fair, ate choripan (chorizo-a type of sausage, on bread with a chimichurri sauce- So good and cheap!), and then wandered the fair for a bit. When we decided to head on home, my friend's host parents offered to drive us, so that we didn't have to take the bus, which was really nice of them! The bus is fine, but it seems to take forever. After I got home, I spent most of the evening on my computer following the soccer game. One of the main teams in Buenos Aires, River Plate, had an important game yesterday. They needed to win by 2 points to stay a principal team. They didn't, and are now a secondary team. The fans here are crazy about soccer here, so of course there was a riot in and around the stadium. Luckily, I'm far enough away from the stadium, so it wasn't a problem for me, but watching a video of the riot was crazy! There were over 2,000 police officers using tear gas and water cannons to try to stop the rioting, but they were unsuccessful. There were fires, injuries, cars destroyed and the people even resorted to throwing things at each and at the police officers. A crazy, but historic day in Argentina.
Monday I got to sleep in since I don't have classes anymore. I went to a cafe near my house for lunch and to use their internet since it works much better than the internet at my house. I also finished my book! It was called "La Sociedad de la Nieve" (The Society of the Snow). It is a book about 16 men who survived a plane crash and seventy two days in the Andes Mountains in 1972. It was a fascinating story and I was able to read the entire book without any problems! This is the first book I've read in Spanish that wasn't for a class or meant for children. Besides finishing my book, Monday was pretty uneventful.
Tuesday- I got out and did something. I met up with Travis to eat lunch in China Town (the BEST place to eat here) and then we went downtown to La Manzana de las luces (The Apple of the lights). It was a series of old buildings that I think were used by political heads a long time ago? I don't know. It was kind of confusing and boring. There are a set of tunnels underneath the buildings and they don't know why they are there or what purpose they served. That part was kind of cool. Luckily the tour was only 10 pesos and only took about an hour out of our day. At 7:30, I met up with Travis again and our friend Mora (from Argentina) to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The cinemas here were doing a marathon of the first 7 movies. It was nice to see a movie in English and to get out of the house some more.
Wednesday was another lazy day. Didn't do anything terribly exciting.
Thursday I went to El museo nacional del teatro (The national theatre museum). It was a really tiny museum, but was kind of neat. Plus it was free, so it didn't really matter. I got to see some old costumes worn by famous actors. Most of the names were unfamiliar to me, but it was still pretty interesting. The only one I knew was a costume worn by Carlos Gardel in an old movie. Then I went to this art museum with works by Xul Solar (Sool Soh-lar). I was the only one in the museum and they didn't charge me, so I didn't stay for too long, but his art is very modern and strange. I really didn't have any interest to check it out, but I have all this free time and don't want to spend it sitting in my house.
Friday I went to the local zoo here in Buenos Aires. It was a pretty good sized zoo, but not all of the animals were out as it is cold here. It was definitely different than the zoos I'm used to. They had ducks and some other sort of animal just running around the zoo everywhere and a lot of the animals can be fed. They sell animal food around the zoo.
Saturday I headed out to Puerto Madero, the newest barrio in Buenos Aires. It was a bit of a trek, but I got to see the Puente de la mujer (The bridge of the woman). I also headed out to the ecological reserve, but it was essentially a giant field with a sidewalk. I grabbed some food from one of the many stands next to the reserve and kept walking for a bit. I then saw a huge rat on the side of the road, so I immediately left. Haha. It was a beautiful day and I didn't want to head home after going to Puerto Madero so I made a quick stop in Recoleta to go to my favorite street fair. I didn't buy anything, but it was nice to wander and look around. After getting home, I figured out that I walked approximately 7 miles on Saturday. Needless to say, I spent Saturday night in.

Week 20
Week 20 started on a rainy and cold Sunday, but I still went with some friends to the feria in Recoleta since they are leaving on Saturday. We didn't stay long, because it was cold and rainy, so many of the artisans weren't there.
Monday was Flag Day in Argentina, so we didn't have class. I met up with my friend Travis to study for our Literature exam on Tuesday.
Tuesday I had my lit exam and it went really well!
Wednesday is normally my day off, but I had to go to my History of Art class since we normally have it on Monday and we didn't have school. After that, I had to go to my Psych class, because our professor didn't show up last Friday. Even though she was sick, the head of the department made us have class. Weird. Wednesday night I met up with my friends to have a goodbye dinner for those that are leaving. It wasn't terribly far from where I live, but it was pouring on Wednesday night. After we got to the restaurant at around 9, we ate delicious quesadillas, and hung out until about midnight. This is very common in Argentina. The restaurants pretty much leave you alone until you ask for the bill. After we left, it was still a torrential downpour, but we braved the rain to take the bus home since it was cheaper. After finally getting home around 1, I was completely soaked (my umbrella broke due to the wind), but it was a really good night!
Thursday I had to go to my two classes, but only to get my grades for my international classes. I got 10s (the highest you can get) in both of them! WOO!
Friday I had my last Psych class, which was exciting. 8am classes are not fun when you live 40 minutes away from the school. We had to turn in our folder of group writings from the semester and my group got a 9! I'm loving all of these good grades! :) Then I went with some friends to get lunch in China Town. Afterwards, we headed to a churrería to get churros. They were delicious. Then we had to say goodbye as 3 of my friends that ate lunch with us are leaving to go back to the states. I came home and said goodbye to my roommate and stayed in for the night. At about 7:00, my host mom told me that my roommate had returned. His flight had been cancelled due to the volcano in Chile. It started spewing ash again and the planes couldn't fly, because the ash would get in the motors. Friday night I talked with my roommate for a while since he had nothing to do, but wait. He was able to leave on Saturday morning.
Saturday was a lazy day. I met up with my friend Janell, so she could return my luggage scale to me and to say goodbye around lunchtime. Besides that, I did absolutely nothing. It was kind of nice, but I definitely need to find stuff to do to keep me busy for the last month here. I don't have anything school related until the 11 when I have my first exam. I will need to study, but not a ton. My friend Travis and I are going to try to find stuff to do this week as our friends Emily and Karen are traveling right now.
And we have a month left! It's crazy how fast time is flying!

Week Nineteen
We were very busy this week. Not only did we have two papers to turn in for our international classes, but we did a ton of stuff!
On Monday, we met up to go to the Teatro Colón for a guided tour. We got to hear a little about the history of the theatre and got to see the theatre. I had heard that the tour would include a quick visit to the costume shop (Teatro Colón is completely self sufficient and makes all of their costumes and sets in workshops that are under the theatre), but due to the recent renovations, they took that part out of the the tour. It was still really interesting and a neat experience.
Tuesday night after a full day of classes, we went to see an orchestra concert in the Teatro Colón. We wanted to see a concert there as the acoustics are near perfect and we were told it was a must! It was so great! The orchestra was very good and it was nice to see the theatre in action. We got the cheapest seats and had to stand at the top of the theatre, but it was definitely worth it.
Wednesday we had plans to go to the planetarium to see the lunar eclipse, but there was a thunder storm, so we couldn't go.
Thursday before class, I met up with my friend Emily to go pick up our tickets for the futbol (soccer) game. We got a little bit lost and took the long way, but it worked out!
Friday I got up bright and early for my psychology class at 8 a.m. only to find out that our prof decided to not have class. I still would have had to go even if I knew it was cancelled ahead of time to swipe my attendance card, so it wasn't that big of a deal. I got to head home early. At 3, I had to head back to the university to attend a farewell ceremony for the international students. It was nothing special and kind of a waste of time, but it's not like I had anything else to do.
Friday night I met up with my friends to go out since half of our group is leaving in a week. We went to a boliche (club) pretty close to my house, so my taxi ride home was pretty cheap which was nice. Clubs are definitely not my scene, but we had a fun group.
Saturday, Emily, Travis and I went to the futbol (soccer) game in Belgrano. It was River Plate's (one of the big teams in Buenos Aires) last game and there were so many people! The energy was crazy and it was a lot of fun! We just go the general public seats which is the crazy section. We sat (I should say stood, since we barely sat down the whole game) up towards the very top of the stadium. There were so many people yelling, singing and cheering the whole game. The people here are very passionate about their futbol teams and River lost, so people were screaming and it was crazy. Luckily we had no problems. I've heard that some of the soccer fans here take it a little too far and people have been killed at the really important games.

Week 18
Unfortunately with the semester winding down, week 18 was full of school, studying and not much else.
On Monday I went with some friends to do a tour of the historical Teatro Colón. It's supposed to be one of the most important theatres in the world. Unfortunately all of the guided tours were sold out for the day as they offer a 50% discount on Mondays, so we bought tickets for next Monday. Normally they are 60 Pesos, but with our student visas, we only paid 10. We also bought tickets to see an orchestra concert next Tuesday at the Teatro Colón. It will be cool to see a concert there after we tour it on Monday!
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were dedicated to school and writing my 6 page research paper for my history class and on Friday I went to class at 8 a.m. like normal (I will be so glad when these 8 a.m.s are done). We got our exam grades back and I got a 9, which is equivalent to an A! There was only one 10 and two 9s, so I was really excited!
Saturday was a beautiful day, so I went with my friend Emily to walk around in San Telmo where there is a huge fería. We thought it was Saturday and Sunday, but found out that it's only on Sunday, so we just walked around, practiced Spanish and enjoyed the nice weather. We also went to the soccer stadium to find out how to get tickets to a futbol game and then headed home.
A pretty calm week, but we have a lot planed for Week 19!
