La Victoria!

Ok so my goal was to write a blog on Friday, when I had completed my school work for the week but I HAD to write a little blog right now to explain how happy and accomplished I feel. So I was feeling really defeated in my Macroeconomics class and really worried that I just wouldn´t get it because it was in a foreign language and because well its Macroeconomics, blah just the name sounds awful. Anyway, so I bought the book, read the first 3 chapters and thought I had a pretty good basic concept of the ideas, things were still fuzzy like the math equations and such but I was feeling better than before. Then last night I went to class, really nervous because we had the teacher that the week before spoke so fast I had no idea what he was saying. However, to my surprise the reading and whatever other magic, I understood every word, every concept, every equation and I even could respond in the class. O it was soooooo amazing! I feel so great! Then after class, there are two Argentines that just love the US I feel, so they like to ask me questions about the place, gave me a ride home. One of them speaks Portuguese and we were speaking the basic in his car. O I feel so much better now! And then in my Portuguese class, a Equatorian told me that I speak that so well also and I can become fluent real easily. Wow, I just feel so amazing right now. Well tomorrow is a day off, no school, its the Day of Justice and we dont have to recuperate the class like I had to the last semester with the foreign exchange classes so yay day off! Im going to go the Presidental Office, Casa Rosada and Plaza de Mayo with my little Brazilian friend Tiago. We are going to take some pictures. Anyway, so Im still living solo in the house, its nice but it will be nice to have the guys back too. I miss them hehe! Anyway, off to Globalization to listen to the over opiniated teacher tell us what he thinks about his country and how mine is so much better....blah! Anyway, the material is good, I like the book so that´s all that matters. Its his final year, after teaching for 25 years I guess he can complain a bit but o well. I just hope his negative opinions don´t rub off on those who are staying here as long as I have. I have gotten to really know this country and they only have 4 months, its like a vacation, not a lot of time but still time to get to know it and all that it has.

13 weeks friends and family o my gosh! I cant believe it and when I get home i get to petition to graduate. EEEK!
