Week Ten

I'm starting to get used to my routine. The classes are becoming pretty routine, but are going well. I'm finally getting to a point where I'm confident enough with my Spanish to actively participate in class. I really like Buenos Aires, but I find myself missing small things on a daily basis. Besides my family, friends and cats, I miss familiarity. It's kind of exciting here, because you never know what to expect every morning on your way to school, but I also miss being able to hop in my car and drive when I need to get somewhere. I always have a seat, I don't have to wait several minutes every time I want to go anywhere and I don't have to scrounge for monedas (coins) that basically don't exist here. That's a lie. There are monedas, but it seems like I'm always close to running out.

This last week was pretty normal. I planned a sort of last minute trip for the long weekend that's coming up. (We get Thursday/Friday off this week for Easter). We're going to Montevideo, Uruguay and we're going to make a pit stop in Punta del Este and Casapueblo, Uruguay as well. Uruguay is so much smaller than Buenos Aires, so it will be nice to be somewhere a little calmer.

Friday night was International Night at my school. Kids from different countries had booths with traditional food from their country. There was also a lot of music and people. It was fun, but I didn't stay too long as I was pretty tired from having class at 8am the same day. Before International Night, I hung out with some Argentine friends from my Psychology Class. We just got coffee and talked. It's great practice for me and they are all really nice!

Only have two days of class next week, which will be a nice break! Will fill you in after I get back from Uruguay! Chao!
