Mi Primer Dia de Facultad

Well, I had my first day of school like a 5 year old. Haha jk! No but i went to my first Portuguese class and it was amazing, in the class are 3 Argentines, two US citizens, and one Italian plus the teacher is from Brazil and we are allllll girls. So it should be pretty fun! And the teacher was really surprised at how good?? my portuguese is. haha! Anyway, hopefully I can say that I have a good grasp of it before I leave here. That is my goal. Then later on I had my first Macroeconomics class, woo! Man it was tough. Not to mention that I had to review some words I forgot the meaning in English but also that it was at 1030 at night to 1140. I got home wrecked, completely and totally wrecked! But it should be a good class. The thing is that all these students are from here or from Latin America and have all been taking classes together since the beginning because this is a 4 year class in a 5 year program to get a degree in International Relations or Political Science or whatever else Business Administration so Im the newbee to the group. But should be good, I hope. Today I have a class from 1 to 3 with the foreigners on Globalization, should be a whole lot easier than last night I know. But it will be a good class I think and a chance not to feel so out of place. So the guys are off to Salta in the North for two weeks on Monday. I will be all alone in the casa, will be nice maybe to be alone no not really. I like having them around. So I will have to keep myself busy with running around town. Tomorrow I have a class, my second macroeconomics class at 7 pm. So I was thinking of heading down to immigrations to finally get my visaaaaaaaaaaaa! And I will take a huge picture of me with it haha! What else? Not much then on Thursday I have my class on Mercosur, that should be really interesting! Im excited! Not much else is going on, just thinking I only have 15 weeks left compared to the 52 I had when i started this adventure, its really mindblowing! I cant believe it. Anyway, I best be off, I slept in late so I now have to get ready and head out. Besotes
Rachel

ps I LOVEEEEEEE my name in Portuguese. They pronounce double Rs like an H but a strong H in English, more like in Hebrew and the CH is like SH. So my name is Hacheiooooooo, its soooooo pretty when a Brasilian says it. I love it.

Its fun to have three different names, Rachel, Raquel, and now Hacheioooooooooo haha.

PEACE
