Well.... I havent written in a while because Ive been super busy and things have just been rushing by. Ill try to remember all that happened but its going to be hard. This last weekend was a fun one even though it was pretty mellow. On thurday night I met up with Ian from one of the previous programs and we went to a "Metal Show" which was kinda funny. It was a bunch of Argentines who were all dressed in black watching some guys play metal music. They were all just sitting around and the music wasnt great at all [View Full Entry]

Its hard to remember where I left off due to the difference in time that I post things up and when I actually write them. Ill try to start back up with where I left off. On saturday night I was told by my host mom that it was important for me to go out and dance since it was saturday. Apparently everyone elses parents here told them the same thing so a group of 5 of us decided we were going out. Before we went out dancing though we went to a bar in town called Cafe Martinez for [View Full Entry]

Believe it or not but things are getting better here. Its getting way easier to understand the accents that people are using and it doesnt just sound like complete jibberish anymore. Conversations are coming along well with my host mom who Im sorry to say still doesnt speak any english. She will tell me something and I will sort of understand and get the general idea but then she keeps telling me because she things I dont get it.

I really honestly have no idea where to start when writing this. Coming to Argentina and Rosario has been the most whirlwind experience of my life. For the past day or so I have been going through ups and downs and ups and downs of being super happy to be here and then being like...what the hell have I gotten myself into... I guess I have to start from the beginning. Since I last wrote I got on the plane to Atlanta Georgia and met up with one of the other guys in the program who has just about as much [View Full Entry]

When we went out I felt a little better and we pointed at things and tried to talk and made it a little farther in understanding each other.....she says it will be easier to understand and speak to her in one weeks time so im gonna trust her on that one.

Well.... This morning proved to be an interesting one. The usual, get up early, head to the airport, and deal with their shit for the next hour. Apparently according to the Airline attendant I need proof that Im staying in Argentina for less than 90 days or I need to change my ticket so that I will be gone exactly 90 days. Of course before she offers me this option she tries to get me to buy a plane ticket to Chile while Im gone.....I dont really buy this option. Anyways....it cost 200 bucks to change my flight 3 days earlier [View Full Entry]
