Big Wheel Keep on Turning...

Well, I'm such a lazy blogger. That's all I can really say. That's the reason why I haven't written, pure laziness.

A couple of weekends ago I took an excursion up to the Andes Mountains...and I'm so glad I did. The mountains were beautiful, completely breathtaking. I took as many pictures as my camera could hold. I remember standing in front of La Puenta Del Inca thinking to myself, that I saw this same picture in one of my social studies books from Middle School. Now, I'm actually standing in front of it! Amazing!

Last weekend I realized that my host family has an amazing movie called The Neverending Story...La Historia Sin Fin in castellano. I was uber excited because I usually watch this movie at least once a week since my mom has bought it on DVD. Now the kids in my family, Morena 7 and Carmilo 6, bonded even more.

School is the same...torturous. I've always blew off how people say that learning a language is so difficult. Now going to school four hours a day and actually having to apply what I been told has been so very difficult. Some days my brain hurts from everything I still don't know about the Spanish language. The people at the institute are great and go over and beyond trying to make me feel comfortable. I'm still get strong bouts of homesickness, but I believe that I'm doing well here. I've meet amazing people and have developed some awesome friendships.

The grocery stores here are just plain ridiculous. Imagine going to Walmart on a Black Friday (or is it Thursday?) sale, and there is only one open check out lane. I live that every time I go to buy something. It makes no sense to me, and I have tried going at different times of the day! Tsk Tsk Argentina...

School vacation is over here. I think it's what they considered they're winter vacation. So that means I start up teaching my English classes again. Hahaha, sometimes I think to myself I speak a lot more English than Spanish here sometimes. It is what it is.

Also, this week I have to work with the government to get my Visa stamped, pray that this goes smoothly and painlessly as possible.

Missing you all
Un Beso
