Dec 31, Jan 1-3






Greetings and Felicas de nuevo anos!!!
Argentina is beautiful and very hot right now.
Dec 31st My new years went well. I had some of the best champane I have ever tried. I am making sure I bring some home. It was champane with a varital called Doluce and if people know me I love sweet wine. Due to the fact people go out at 2am and all the stores were closed all day for new years I went to the student apartments and hung out with all the students where we celebrated until 4 am. We wanted to go to a disco but there were no taxis avalable. Only 4 of the students were able to get a taxis and they said it wasn{t all that fun because they were all so tried. In the morning we found out that one of our friends was robbed of her camera and money by four men right outside the apartment. This was probably due to her coming home drunk, by herself and not having keys to get in. From this event it made us all aware to keep a good watch on our belongings and keep our purses in front of us.
Jan 1 I woke up late and went to breakfast. From all this walking I have been soooo hungry. I they went back to Belgrano and watched movies for the rest of the day, plus walked around Belgrano. I went to a grocery store and got some hambuger meat, pototes and butternut squash. Yes dad I have been eating more carne then I usaually do, you would be proud! Nilda came home and we talked about our days in spanish and english. Then I tried to go to sleep, but it was so hot it was hard. I found that if you take a cold shower then go to bed you can sleep alittle better.
Jan 2 Yesterday, I had breakfast and walked to the subte then to school. I was tried so I made sure to have some cafe with a banana at break. Then to a cafe to have a huge salad and some bread. Then it was back to the subte to Belgrano were I tried to add my classes for school at an internet cafe. For some reason, I am still pre-major. Until Dr. Patterson receives my e-mail about my transcipts I cannot add the classes I want. Kind of nerve racking because I don{t want the classes to fill up and be left with nothing. If I need to I will have a friend help me from back home, so I will think positively, right matt! After e-mailing I went to get my nails and toes done. They were so dirty. Then went home and had some delicious dinner, chicken and veggies with potatoes and for desserts some incredible nectrines. Then I took a nice cold shower and fell asleep to a movie on the tv.
Jan 3 Thursday, for breakfast I had some incredible quince jam/marmalade on rice cakes. I am going to bring some of the jam home for sure, they are really big on their jams! Then I walked to the subte and then to school where we learned about gutar and some new vocabulary. I had a big jamon (ham) and queso (cheese) sandwich. I e-mailed my department for my major to help me with my classes, so hopefully they will e-mail me back. Now its back to Belgrano for a massage, definatly have been needing one for days. Then dinner with Nilda and I plan on doing some spanish homework tonight and maybe a movie. Mainly just going to be relaxing for the night.... Tomorrow{s friday so it will be more eventful. Still having a great time! Love to all!!
