So, Cristian and Tito are learning English and its so adorable, they are actually really good at speaking the language. Cristian is taking classes and Tito is teaching himself. Its cute because they will argue, like an old married couple, about the rules of the language. Its great! Last night I was helping them with their English by showing them a book I read in English about the culture of Argentina. Anyway, one day a week we are going to have an English only day because I would like to help them as they are helping me. This weekend is pretty mellow. We haven´t really gone out much, just gone to the centro and they showed me the Casa Rosada and the Congreso, and Plaza de Mayo. We ate pizza yesterday, o my gosh it was so good! Normally in the US I try and eat quite healthy. The food here is so rich in flavor that it fills me up quick, Cristian and Tito´s friends think I´m on a diet because I don´t eat a lot of food. Haha I eat less but they are all skinnier than me! Oh well, in time. Anyway, then when I got home last night, I went running in the city, don´t worry it was at 6 p.m. It was nice even though I was scared of getting lost. I have both of my roommate´s phone numbers and the address in my pocket. This city is so huge and magnificent, I hope that I will learn it well. Also, the public transit is so dynamic, it will take time to get to know the system. Well, I did my first sleep walking experience last night and ran into a wall. This woke me up obviously haha. I´m such a clutz. But don´t worry Mom, I didn´t raid their fridge! I told Cristian and Tito this morning and they laughed. Well, today we are going to a friend´s house for a huge dinner, like a potluck. The owner of the house cooks and everyone brings money to help with the expenses. I finally got my scholarship money, thanks to my Dad, now I don´t have to worry about not having anything until my grant money comes. That would be the worst thing to not have money to pay for rent! I would feel so embarrassed! Well, I hope all is well with you guys! Chau muchos besos!
