Hola. Long time no post. Sorry about that, after my last post Svetlana was here for a week keeping me busy, classes started last Monday, moving into the new apartment has been time-consuming, Ive been sick, etc. So here's a quick recap of the last week and a half.
The whole week Svetlana was here, we went out a bunch to some friends' apartments, a bar or 2, and a few of the dance clubs Ive been to before- all in between going to classes and showing her some cool sites around the city. We went to Caminito, the Casa Rosada, Calle Florida (the big outdoor mall), the Plaza Intendente Torcuato de Alvear (the actual name of "that cool park"), the Recoleta cemetary, and some other cool places. On Friday we left for a magical place called Gualeguaychu, but I'll talk about that later.
Classes have been going well so far. Im taking 3 classes at Universidad Di Tella and 1 at Universidad San Andreas. At UTDT Im taking Business Organizational Theory, Contemporary Argentine Literature, and Art History. Only BOT and Art History have met so far, except I was sick the day Art History met so I have no idea how it is. BOT is great so far, my teacher is young and super smart and has a very impressive resume. Seems fairly interesting so far, although Ive covered a lot of the material a BC already. Literature is a class for exchange students and begins on Tuesday. My class at San Andreas is only for BC students, and its focused on a mix of Argentine history and culture with a few field trips here and there.
I mentioned that I got sick earlier. Gualeguaychu is a small city/town about 3 hours from BsAs. Tap water here is hit or miss depending on the building youre in because of the pipes, but in BsAs its safe 99% of the time. In Gualeguaychu, because its small and poorer, its not recommended to drink the water. I found that out a few hours in. Im not saying it was the water that got me sick, because I had a stomach virus and not a bacterial problem, but Im sure it didnt help. I was in bed all of Tuesday and half of Wednesday, but Im perfectly fine now, I even joined a new gym and went for a bit today.
Our apartment is great, although not as perfect as we thought. Its super big and comfortable, but its pretty old and a lot of stuff is on the fritz. At first the kitchen sink caused the whole kitchen to flood, the oven didnt work, the back door didnt lock, the toilet was broken, and we couldnt figure out the internet. But now we've solved all those problems and are loving it here.
I have a bunch more to write about and a bunch of pictures to post, but Im super tired and its going to take a bit to write it all. Ill try to write again tomorrow. Goodnight
