Segunda Semana de Facu

Ok so this semester is going to be tough! I just got all my materials for reading and Im getting down to business. Last semester was a breeze, a chance to get accustomed to the city and to travel and to get to know the language (basically). This semester is more to complete my knowledge of the language, really get to know the policies and governments of Latin America as it pertains to the environment, and to get to really really really have a complete understanding of all the technical words in the Spanish language in my field. O and to be a goof trying to speak Portuguese haha. But I will do fine. Im not trying to be perfect with Portuguese, Spanish yes because I have been studying it for so long. I can work on Portuguese more intensely later on. So Portuguese is my fun class, Macro is my death class (gotta read 3 chapters this weekend in my fat book), Mercosur (the class on the Union in Latin America) is my interesting, most liked class, and Globalization well Im not so sure about the class, its good but the teacher is a little wacked out of his mind. I think he likes the US more than his own country, he isnt a good Poli Sci teacher because he gives his political opinion too much in class. A good teacher is one where the students arent sure what side he or she is on. Anyway, its a class to learn I suppose so Ill go with it. So like I said before I have to do some extra studying on the subjects because I am NOT an expert on Argentine history like the students in the class. They have been learning this since they were kids. We do talk a lot about my country but as it pertains to how it affected Argentina and Latin America. And that I only recently started researching and studying. But anyway, all is well. I met a really cool girl from French Canada, named Coralie. We are going to suffer together in two classes. She lives close to me and is a really cool girl. He and her friends are really impressed with me because they think of Americans as ones who dont want to learn any other languages and here I am speaking one and learning another. This is what THEY said, Im not bragging! Anyway, besides that all is really well. The guys are gone for two weeks so Im all alone in the house. I dont mind it THAT much but yeah its kinda lonely. hehe! Its only been one day. We will see after two weeks. I gave them a card saying how blessed and lucky I am to have found them and thanks for everything they have done for me and that they are my familiy for life and when they come to the US (because THEY WILL COME) haha I will put them up at my house and treat them to the time of their lives and show them my country or atleast my region. They were really happy after getting the letter, now the house is really bonded. I think something need to be said because I dont know if they knew how much I appreciated all their help. Now we are a little happy family again. Anyway, I better be off to studying because tomorrow I have a potluck with my vegetarian friends here and then a bday in the night, we are going kareoking. Then Saturday Im going to a lecture for the day without meat conference with one of the girls from my workout group here in BA. Then study study study buddy! O my gosh and last night, it rained cats and dogs I tell you. I walked four blocks from the bus home at 1030 pm and I was soaked head to toe. It was amazing. I love the city like this! I hate the humidity. I am officially saying it, I will NEVER live in a humid place ever unless there is a pool on my side but even that I dont think so. ok study time LOVE AND MISS YOU ALLLLLLLLLL 13 weeks left! Can you believe it? besotes beijos
