Escuela

Bueno, now that things have calmed down a bit, I am finally finding time to go on the internet once again. The last 2 weeks have been completely LOCO, because the university classes were having "shopping" periods...meaning I was trying out all these different classes trying to figure out which ones I wanted to take (aka which professors I could understand the least bit of what they were talking about, haha--How do people talk so ridiculously fast?) I also spent a lot of time being completely lost in this massive and confusing city, what with getting on the wrong bus, or trusting my (pretty much always wrong) sense of direction..But anyways, now things have settled down a little. I finally (semi-)figured out the bus system.
I have been assigned a lot of reading in every class, and reading in Spanish takes double the time than English, though I am fosho improving. But its really exciting for me, because for the first time in my life, I actually LIKE my classes! I know it sounds weird to you, but for me it is a revelation--"Waitttt you mean I dont have to feel like I want to shoot myself in the face every time I sit down to do my homework?? You mean I can actually learn things in school that interest me?!" I had no idea...I always thoguht people were just lying to me to make themselves look cool or something, when they were like yeah man, i looove my classes! id be like, yeah right. stop lying.
This is a photo I took a couple weeks ago, of people dancing tango in a park in San Telmo, one of my favorite neighborhoods. Im starting a tango class tonight! Very excited...Il let you know how that goes
