In all truth nothing too differnt has been going on in my life. I have been going to classes, church, and trying to hang out with friends more. My class in the university is going very well. It is about how people acquire their first and second languages and the differences in the processes. It is going well so far because I have taken classes similar to this in english because of my el. ed. major. I am also meeting lots of argentinian students in this class which is fun.

It has been hard for me to adjust to my class schedual here. I only have class monday and wednesday and at night on thursday so I have almost three days where I don´t have any class. I am trying to find things to occupy my time like starting guitar lessons hopefully and going to the preschool near my house to volunteer but I am still searching for the right ministry or service project to get invlolved in. I feel like I have a bigger purpose to fulfill here but I am not sure what is it is yet!

I am also working on the whole making friends thing. I really don´t have a problem with introducing myself to people and making aquaintances but getting beyond that is proving hard with the language barrier and such. It makes it really hard that I am living in a house that is really not close to any of my friends houses. I have to really plan ahead on order to arrive places on time and all of that. It has a lot to do with the fact that the city is so big. I will get over this in time too once I can work the bus system better but until then I feel like I have to try really hard to ´be social´ and leave at night and such.

These are just some reflections I have been having. In all I am really enjoying my expereince. I am growing closer to my host family everyday and me and ´my little sister´ (first time ever I´v had a sister!) are close. She is 5 and loves to hang out in my room. We read stories together, practice our animal sounds, and color pictures. It is a blast! Hope all of you are doing well in your perspective places in the world as well! Chau!
