If you can't stand the heat, get out of BsAs

So after almost a week, I’m still getting a little disoriented around this city. There is so much to see and do that I’m sure I’ll never be bored down here. This past week has been orientation with the program so I’ve been in the same place all week. We started a little Spanish class and we have a small project to do this weekend.


The heat took a little break yesterday when it rained in the afternoon, but it feels like it’s going to be another hot one down here. It was reaching 100 all this week, and I’m happy to learn Maru’s (host mum) boyfriend has a pool within his apartment complex. I think we’ll be taking advantage of that today.

Last night I had my first big night out. There was a group of 6 of us that went out to a club that someone had read about in their guidebook. It ended up being a pretty cool place, unfortunately not the most affordable, but now we know. We also know now that it is appeals more to the gay crowd, which was totally fine with me but I think the boys were a little annoyed. I was just humored by the whole situation.

In the near future I am going to have to register for classes. There is one university that offers “Clown,” I’m really chewing on that one. We get to choose courses from 4 different universities, one public and three private. The class lists are impressive and I’m going to need a decent amount of time to flip through all the course offerings.

Also next Saturday I’ll be on my way to Barlioche, Argentina. We will be flying and spending three days there. There is so much to do there: biking, hiking, boat rides, etc. I’ll be snapping a lot of photos there and I’ll make sure to share those too. I’m really excited about this trip because I’ll get to see more of Argentina than just the city, and it is a very geographically diverse country.

Today, besides going to the pool, I’m going to head to the laundromat for the first time, that should be an adventure. I hope everyone is doing well. I’ll write again soon…this blogging this isn’t too bad I guess.

Until next time….
