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!
