Week Three

This week was pretty low-key. Nothing terribly exciting. Haven't been feeling the greatest. I think it's a combo of some sort of stomach bug plus getting used to the food and stuff. The trains were out of service two times this week. One of them was a "strike" that lasted half a day. Apparently that's very common here, because there a ton of unions. On Thursday I went to a big used book fair in Plaza Italia and bought some books to read in Spanish.  I had my orientation on Friday for my semester classes and it was a ton of information, but I'm excited to start taking normal classes. My intensive class is 5 hours a day and it's tough to sit there that long. Friday afternoon, I met with my friend Travis to plan our trip and we decided to go to Bariloche, Argentina with the rest of our group. It will be a little bit cheaper and will be a little more relaxing since most of the attractions are lakes and nature related. We're going to buy tickets on Monday! Didn't do much on Saturday as I was still not feeling really great. Hoping to go to a Feria (Street Fair) tomorrow with some friends.
