Nuevos Amigos Argentinos

Last night I went out with my new Argentine friends to a club called Cocoliche. The music was electronic/techno and it was fantastic and exciting. I went home after the club even though the Argentines wanted me to stay with them to eat breakfast. I said I was sooooooo exhausted I had to go sleep. I got home around 630 am and slept until about well I'll just keep that private. Anyway, so I did my homework today for literature class and then around 530pm, the Argentines got a hold of me and invited me to Starbucks to have some coffee. Of course I went because I want to experience everything in this city, to meet and have Argentine friends is the only way. Anyway, I went to Starbucks, haha I know so bad to go to Starbucks, a major MNC in the US, in a foreign country. They all got Frapuccinos, so I didn't get tea as usual, I got a Dulce de Leche Latte. It was super sweet! I'm glad I got a small because I couldn't even finish that! So my new friends are so sweet, everywhere that they go they invite me. For instance, Coco was born and raised in Cordoba, the secondl largest city in Argentina, he told me that I am invited to his hometown anytime and that I can stay with him and his family whenever he goes. Also, a girl from a province north of Buenos Aires said that when they all come to visit her this month, I am invited as well. Anyway, they are really friendly and love showing me the city and introducing me to more and more people. I'm making great connections. Also, now I have been speaking Spanish so much that it's becoming my second language as opposed to a language that I'm learning. Of course I knew that would happen but it's just amazing that I can see and feel it happening. I love the nightlife here but the one bad thing is now its Sunday, I don't have the energy to do anything even if there was something to do, but now my mind won't let me go to sleep. I've been going to bed so late that it's hard to go to bed at a normal time. I've drinken two cups of Manzanilla (chamomile tea) and I still don't feel more relaxed. O well, people here don't seem to sleep that much, atleast the younger generation. Tonight, my new Argentine friends told me that they don't sleep longer than 4-5 hours at a time. However, my roommates do sleep normal hours like 11 or 12am-9 or 10am. Well, not Tito because he works ALOT during the week, but on the weekends yes he sleeps a lot. Well, back to school tomorrow, I did all my homework and I'm ready for my class. I definately did have a Buenos Aires weekend and did experience the culture but now back to my education, time to focus. Ojala tenga sueno temprano!
