Well I have officially completed my first day of classes. I love my first 3 classes: composition, conversation, and Latin American Culture. The teachers seem very nice and dedicated to teaching. These are all classes only offered to exchange students. I will be taking a class in the univerity with other Argentinian students. I attended a Sociology class yesturday and pretty much everything was way over my head with technical vocabulary and complex concepts that I was not familiar with because I missed the first class meeting. I am also going to try a class called the Acuasition of the first and second language and I think this will be better because I will be able to attend the first class period and it is a topic I am more interested in and capable of!

This weekend I went to my first Argentinian boliche (a type of dance club). They don’t even open until 2 in the morning! It was an ok eperience but not something I would want to do often because it was very smoky, the music was way too loud for my liking and the lights where constantly strobing. I stayed for about an hour and my ears rang for an hour afterwards. I’m sure I will return sometime but it is not something I could do everyday like many locals do on the weekends.

This past Sunday was Children’s Day (like we have Mother/Father’s Day). During church they had a cute puppet show for the kids with many popular kid’s stories! It was interesting to see this celebration since we don’t have it in the US. We alwasys say that everyday is Children’s Day but I think it would be a nice tradition to start!

I have been having a great time attending a house church and meeting the students that attend there. I think this is the place where I will meet some of my closest friends for my stay. I will keep you updated on all my adventures in school and out. Hope this post finds you all well as well!
