So it's been a few days since I last posted, so I'll try to do a quick debriefing of what I've done this week!
Monday: After class and errands and such, I went to La Bomba across town with about 15 other kids from my program. It. Was. Insane!! La Bomba is a series of shows that happens every Monday night until March, and it's only about 15 bucks to get in-- well worth it. There were about 20 men with different percussion instruments; varying different drums, cowbells, triangles, symbols.... etc etc. It was nuts because the show, which lasted for about two hours, was completely improvised and never seen before! There was a crazy energy to the crowd, and it was actually located in an old oil refinery that's been cleared out for the public usage. It was awesome-- my pops would have loooved it! I also jumped into a mosh pit for my first time... Saying it was worth it is an understatement.
Tuesday: Class, and hung out in the park with Becca & Christy! It's so nice having a park so close to both school and the apartment-- I'm literally 2 1/2 blocks from school, and 4 from the park. I couldn't be happier with my location! Anyhoo, we laid out and tanned for a bit, and went for a run before dinner and doing some homework- Wednesday was my first oral presentation! What did I decide to do it on, you ask? I doubt you'll be surprised when I say ASP. Original, I know... Haha well I actually focused on their new involvement with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition... Which is SOOOO exciting by the way!!!
Wednesday: Oral presentation went really well (5 mins long, not bad), I'm definitely relieved to have that over with! After class I ran to do some errands for tomorrow, like buying a return ticket home (slightly important, no?), packing, getting some groceries (living off of pb&j for the weekend, college diet all the way) and other misc. things. Went for another run before dinner, did my homework and now I'm here, writing this nonsense and hoping that you're still reading....
Anyways, I'm going to Pinamar tomorrow!! I'm soooo excited.. although tomorrow will be one heck of a long day. Waking up at 6:30 (6 hours from now... woof) to go start the Visa process (the last time we went, the office was on strike and we didn't know it until we got there! I'm crossing my fingers that doesn't happen again..), and then have class from 10:30-3:30. I'm literally going right from class to the bus station with everyone, and hopping on the bus at 4:30 to get to Pinamar around 10! I'm actually excited for the bus rides because people in South America take their coach buses really seriously... these things are a different level of comfortable, people. On another note, if you're curious, here's the website to my hostel:

No pics now.. but no worries, by the end of this weekend I'm sure there will be TONS! :) Enjoy the snow!
